EDITOR'S NOTES 211" I am retaining the other old books as my own property, but shallas stated be always glad to lend and show to any Member who maywish to refer to them."There are not many left now who climbed with or even knewJ. W. Robinson, but many are the stories one has heard of himfrom the older generation and one and all these stories show himas an intrepid explorer of our crags, and not only that, but asthe finest type of " statesman," gentle and strong, which theLake District can show. He lived at Whin Fell Hall, Lorton.The Club should feel proud indeed to come into possession ofthe journals of his climbs and fell walks.Lake District Preservation.During the last few months Keswick has won its hard-foughtbattle with the Electricity Commissioners over the line of pylons.The Commission have been induced to abandon their originalidea and the pylons will not now be erected on the line that wasgoing to spoil the lovely background of Keswick.During the last few months, too, Manchester has decided tohold up its Hawes Water scheme—but how far this can beregarded as entirely matter for congratulation is another thing.The real good would have been had the scheme never beenstarted.An Ullswater Preservation Society has been lately formed andwill no doubt find plenty of opportunity for putting in good workin saving the shores and environs of perhaps the most beautifuland unspoilt of the Lakes.The Emily Kelly Hut.Members will be interested to know that the Pinnacle Clubhave obtained a cottage in Cwm Dyli, Nant Gwynant, whichwas opened as a Climbers' Hut in November last and mostappropriately named in honour of the late Mrs. Kelly, one ofthe finest women rock-climbers, who was killed on the Welshhills in 1922. Mrs. Kelly was a notable member of our Club, andbesides being a most brilliant climber herself she was alwaysready to spend her time helping beginners. I myself shall alwaysremember the kind invitations she gave me more than once forSundays in Derbyshire when I was just starting to climb.
212 THE FELL AND ROCK CLIMBING CLUB JOURNALNo one has left a better memory behind them than she, and Ifeel that we of the F. & R. C. C. should take a special interest inthis Memorial to her.The Mount Everest Expedition.Four members of this Club are with the Mount EverestExpedition—C. R. Greene, E. E. Shipton, J. L. Longland andGeorge Wood-Johnson. We wish them good luck, good health,and the last of the trio—good courage—we do not need to wishthem, knowing their records either on previous Himalayanadventures or in the Alps.White Hares.Last New Year I was on Grasmoor one day in company withvarious others and we started a hare—a white one. I can't say thatthis phenomenon struck me as very wonderful, but one of theparty who is a bit of a naturalist reported it to the pundits andwas told that a white hare has no business in the Lakes. At thataltitude it would be almost certainly a Scottish Alpine hare andquite distinct from the English brown hare. Apparently attemptshave been made to introduce these hares into the northerncounties, so perhaps our hare was one of the unfortunateimmigrants.International Congress.Early in the year, the Club was asked to send Delegates to theInternational Congress of Alpinism which was held in August atChamonix under the auspices of the French Alpine Club.Unfortunately, although the President approached manymembers, he was unable to find anybody to represent us. TheCongress seems to have been a very representative one, and ourabstention would have been the more regrettable had it notescaped the observation of the officials! From the detailed reportof the Congress, the President was credited with attendance,although he was at the time enjoying life in the Scottish Highlands! This appears to be the first time that the Club has beenasked to take part in the International Congress.The Mountaineering Journal.This is an entirely new venture in the realm of mountaineeringjournalism. The Journal is, apparently, run on professional
