Lost on the Alps: Snowbound on the Matterhorn: “Daily Mail” Telegram: Zermatt, Switzerland, Sunday: Two English tourists, Mr. Gerald Pinsent and his sister, Miss Frances Maude Pinsent, of Hampstead, London, had a perilous adventure on the Matterhorn. Descending the mountain with two guides of Evolena, yesterday, they were surprised by a snow storm, and had to spend the night there. The cold was extreme. Search parties went out last night for them, but they were not found till this morning. Their cries for help were heard by other tourists, who, being without guides, were unable to go to their succour. At three o’clock in the afternoon they came upon two Swiss gentlemen with a guide. One of them had broken his ankle. They joined forces, and pursued their way against the elements till they reached the Old Matterhorn hut at nine o’clock. The hut was full of ice,” said Miss Pinsent, “but we made a little fire. The rescue party from Zermatt found us at ten this morning. It was hard work getting down with the storm beating about us all the time, and the fresh snow underfoot, but got here at seven this evening. We shall think all our lives of that night on the Matterhorn.” Seven lives were thus saved, thanks to the energy of the rescue party, in which all the numerous guides in Zermatt took part. The tourists have escaped unharmed, save for a few frozen fingers and toes.
