English Party’s Night on the Matterhorn: … … Another party composed of Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of London, and two guides from Evoleny was also obliged Spend the night on the Matterhorn, having lost its way on the mountain. The shouts of the party could be heard at Matterhorn, but as there were only a few tourists there who were without guides and who did not know the mountain, they were unable to go to the help of the English people. The relief-column, under M. Hermann Seiler. left the Matterhorn hut at 6.30 yesterday morning. Snow was falling heavily at the time, being already 18 inches deep. The night was very cold, and a storm had been raging. Members of the column, who are in imminent danger of their lives, are doing all they can to save the tourists. Alfred Buergener, the guide, spent the night with Guenel [A Swiss tourist with the other lost party who had broken his leg: RHP].
