July 7, 1961“Avalanche”
[
“Two climbers and their Maori guide are marooned in
a hut during a two-day storm in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
During the second night they hear a cry which gets nearer and the door
blows open as a man enters. He looks frozen but manages to get a few
words out about a party and an avalanche, then collapses. He revives and
rushes from the hut. It is discovered next day that he was the guide of a
party of climbers buried by an avalanche 60 years earlier. The rest of the
party were found 10 years ago, but the body of the guide has only now
come to the surface.”]
