Young Prince Luigi, who will make this present attempt, is most anxious
to reach the top of Mount St. Elias. He will have many hardships to
endure before he can hope to reach his goal. His party will have to

mountain pictures that will add greatly to our knowledge of the
beautiful Mount St. Elias.
