SACUAMKNTO, Cal., Juno 10.
Three days camped at the foot of
Mount KuHHt'ii, the fiei'y monster thnt
has devastated one of the most fer
tile regions In the world, and that has
hclchcd forth its wrath, driving hun
dreds of people from the homes thev
have hnilt and the lands they lime
tilled, brought no terror to the hearts
of three Sacramento uiils, Inez, Shir
ley and Aiitonin Hyatt, daughter of
Kdvvurd Hyatt, state nupeiintendeiit
of public instruction.
These girls have braved the rough
est mountain trails and have climbed
the highest peaks of the Sierras, in
cluding Mount Whitney and Shasta.
Wlial would Hccin to most k'iHs un
dertiikiiifs fitted only to the eiiiliir
nnee of weathered piouects are to
them pleasures rare.
Now that they hae returned from
the shadow of Itiissen filled with the
enthusiasm of their Uniiiie and won
derful experience, it docs not Seem to
them that they have accomplished
miytliine; out of the ordinary. They
feel that what they have done anyone
can do, uud nccoidiue; to their story
the feat is well worth trying.
"You see, wo feel like we own
Mount l.assen," stated one of the
uirls. "Three veals no with another
siste.nuud our two brothers we climb
ed tho mountain uud viewed the then
dormant crater. From previous out
ings with our burro pack train we
knew (he country of both Lassen and
Hat creek, so of course when the
great volcano broke forth it was to
us of ureal interest nnd we desiied to
see ootir old friend in one of his out
bursts of minor.
"We have climbed mnnv inoro dif
ficult mountains, but wo have return
ed this time with a nionsiite of pride,
for in that country iluyono who has
ever sealed the sides of Mount LnH
sen is a hero.
"Iliivinr Seen the volcanic r'inn
when it was clothed in verdure and
resting in peace Uud (lillct, it was
hard fonts to believe that kucIi huoe
had been crcatrd. Wo did not fully
realize the impoit of the journey that
wo.wcro about to take, but now, huv
iiiL' seen, we would ' liuliuvu utmost
nn. thing that anyone could say iibonl
Lassen,
"It is impossible to describe this
phenomenon, One Mould have to M'e
to appreciate. It is wonderful, uud
anyone who can should eeitaiiily
avail themselves of the opportunity
of Fcciny thl, u real, active, Ameri
can volcano, and that which we fully
believe to be' one of Ihu flit ill e won
ders of California.
"We left Saeridncnlo Sundav. May
;i(), in our automobile with just as few
trappings as were necessary. Wuiin
clothes, n few provisions and sleep
ing bags completed our outfit,
"People told us all along the way
that our tires would he cut to piece
and that we would inner he uble to
make the journey, but our little old
I'nrd went wherever we wuuted it to
go, up hill and down dale, without au
apparent el'foie.
"It is not that wo have done nn
thing so marvelous or that our ma
chine is any better than any othei.
It simply tdiows what any one can
do,
"On the night of June I we camp,
ed on Mauznuita lake, about tlnee
anil a half miles from l.usseu; we
made our camp out in the open, with
nothing hut the lake between us uud
the mountain. The view was per
fect. "That nujht wc lay in our MccpiuK
hags on the ground, taeiuic the ob
ject of our jouincv. The wind was
bitter cold and wc were glad that our
wool-Hidded bleeping bagt. weie so
enry and warm. There is no loginu
in ( ahtonim colder than hikMUi.
"The greatest convenience of a
sleeping bag is that ou can sit up
in it without exposing .xourstdf to the
cold. The bag conies nght up with
.Mill.
"This liixuiy was taken advantage
of at about 10 o'clock. It was a halt
hour hefoie inooniuo. Someone no
tiecd h flame piwt like a red linger I
rUo up out of the mountain, Will
the fir.t 'Oh, look" we were all thtvi '
silting bolt upright in our slcepmj
hags, gaxiug in thrilled evihu t u' I
across the smooth waters of Mmum i
