MR. ALLISTER CROWLEY

Mr. Allister [sic] Crowley, whose effort to reach the summit of Kinchinjunga was the sensation of last autumn, has just completed a five months' journey overland from Bhamo in Burma to the interior of China. He was accompanied by his wife and baby, and it is sad to learn that after enduring all the hardships of the journey, their little one should have been attacked with malaria and died at Rangoon, after a few days' illness. Whilst we learn that the attitude of the Chinese was in general of a friendly character, in a few places the reception the party met with was distinctly hostile. The route taken by Mr. Crowley was quite away from the beaten track, and the scenery in certain districts of China they passed through is described as magnificent. Mr. Crowley is now travelling via Hongkong to America.
