Speaker 1 (00:04):
Auto light and it's ninety eight thousand dealers. Bring you,
mister John Hodiac. In Tonight's presentation.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Of suspense, Tonight's Auto LIGHTE prevents a story about heroism
as we document the attempt of three brave men to
conquer the mountain our star, mister John Hodiac.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Hello, Hello, bottom of the evening to you? You mean
top of the evening, don't you, mister McSorley.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, bottom My spirit A law is the water in
my car's battery.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Oh you mean it's dry, dry, and irishman's with Well,
now it's an auto light.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Stainful battery you're needing.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
That's the famous battery that needs water on the use.
You mean that long life battery.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Hello, is one and the same.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Fiberglass maps surround every positive plate to reduce sit and
flaking and give the auto light stayfull longer life, as
proved by test conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Where can I beget miss marvelous marvel.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Why from your nearest auto light battery dealer, the man
who services all makes of batteries To quickly locate him
dust phone Western Union by number and ask for operator
twenty five.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I'll tell you where to get an autolite staple, the
battery that needs water only three times a year in
normal car.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You and remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Right with autolite.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
And now Autolite presents the Mountain, starring mister John Hodiac,
hoping once again to keep you in suspense, We made
the fourth camp on the East Glacier, twenty two thousand
feet above sea level. In that cold, thin air, we
(01:56):
stood looking up, and in the great loneliness.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We saw for a few seconds, as the mist cleared,
we saw it the mountain, the peak towering over us
was beautiful and terrible. Then a swirling curtain moved around it,
and it was gone again. There were six of us,
and the porters Manton and Leeds had been sent back
to the third camp, some four thousand feet below. Those
(02:20):
had been badly frostpitten. So then there were six of
us left to make the attempt. Nobody had done it before,
no one had ever reached the top of that tremendous
windswept place, And now we were ready for the assault.
That night we held our last meeting in the fourth camp.
Games Thomas Feldman, Eldridge, Ferucci, and myself.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's the best way, the most practical. Three of us stay,
and three of us try to make it.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
We stand a bit a chance. We all do it together.
What do you think, Bop? I don't think so. Thomas
is right. Three of us go and have to turn back.
The other three will still be fresh. They can have
a go. That's right, all right? Sure, yes, okay, two parties. Thomas,
you'll head up the second stay at the camp. I'll
leave the first one up right. No, wait a minute,
don't we get a vote on this. No, it's a
waste of time. Start voting and we'll start arguing again.
(03:08):
Those momsons aren't going to hold off forever. Yes, how's
your leg? Harry?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I might hold you back. You better leave me down.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Here, all right, Beruccie, you want me to go? Feel
up to it? Sorry you bet gaines?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Okay, you're not a climate.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It get a lot worse higher better not?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, Look, why not let me go with you and
leave Harry in charge down here?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That leg will be all right in a couple of days,
don't you think Harry it ought to be. He hasn't
had enough experience for a lead man. There's nothing wrong
with me or is there. Well, well, I don't know, Johnny,
it's going to be pretty tough. Well, well, listen, john
what about it? Bob? I'm in good shape, I guess so, okay, you,
(03:58):
Perucci and myself. That'll be it. We'll start a daybreak
And that's the way we decided. There was no other possibility.
It wasn't that we didn't like Eldridge. It was just
that he was always flying off the handle, and because
of that, he wasn't a good risk. Nerves don't go
(04:20):
so well with mountain climbing. Not that mountain, cold and dangerous.
It's never gained peak hidden and mist. Later that evening,
Thomas and I were going over the equipment before turning in.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know, someday they'll invent an oxygen tank, this light,
that's these things weigh over thirty pounds. Yeah, Hey, Bob,
about Eldridge?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What about him?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Do you think he ought to go?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's the only way.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I guess you're thinking a big chance.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
He'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
We could only wait just a couple of days, Harriet,
be all right.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Late now, if the monsoon starts, none of us will
be able to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's the trouble. Well you have Brucie along.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He gets on pretty well with eldrick zandle Hell, it'll
be fine. We're all in good shape. I think we're
gonna make it that in a way.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
I hope you don't.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I'd like a crack out of myself.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh wouldn't that be something the first man to get.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
To the top.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You understand why I didn't take you, don't you? Of
course wish.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We'll thinking that's all? Well, you bet at ten in
I'll finish checking the stuff, Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
See you in the morning. On May the eighteenth, we
started to climb the Northwest Ridge. We were twenty three
thousand feet. Each of us carried a thirty pound oxygen tank. Besides,
the equipped went higher, the wind started to take it
out of us, and we felt the cold more pick can.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Eh, yeah, Why when you look at it up there,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
You must feel like you could jump and touch the top?
Big jump, Perucci? What do you figure about thirty five
hundred feet more right, something like that? The weather holes.
We might make it by tomorrow, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Not a cloud in the sky.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Oh with a look at.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That thing, boy, what can you say when you see him?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Outain like that. Save your breath. We'll move in a
few minutes. Then we hit patches of snow and the
face slowed down. We spelled each other as leader, and
it was my turn up ahead. Brucci was bringing up
the rear when I heard him yell and trough that
dreadful tug of the rope. At the same time, Bob
(06:36):
Brushi gone down.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
Diggin's boke?
Speaker 10 (06:39):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Crevass?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Who's the ideas?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
It won't hold?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
No, it's too soft. Here, my sippy bullet him, sippy.
I saw the snow crumbling away from beneath it to
his feet. I saw it, and I thought of a
man I knew who slip from an area ladder one
hundred feet up. And as he fell to the ground,
his legs raised wildly, armed waving, trying to find the
rungs to put himself back up. And Eldred was doing
(07:08):
it now, his heels turning into the soft snow at
the edge of the crevice. Then he found solid ice. Bob, Yeah,
can you pull me back?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I can't get to root you out from here.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I'm afraid I'll go over too.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm right on the edge.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Can he get a hold with his ash. No he
free the wolf.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
Folks.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I'll try. You'll have to fool too, Bob. I can't
do it alone. Too much weight, I'll tell you. I God,
I'm afraid to move. I can feel it going under me.
For around me there's solid ice a couple of feet back.
I can grab it with my ax. Go let go,
don't let me go, Sack, I'll go.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I want just hang on.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I knew that if I slipped. When I reached behind me,
it was the end. I looked at the figure of
Eldridge below me, his body bent backwards away from the
drop of me eat him. I closed my eyes, reached
behind with my axe, and dug into the ice I
got and as Eldred shouted, I thought I heard another cry.
And suddenly the rope weight was lighter. I saw Eldridge fall,
(08:16):
then get up on hands and knees and crawl away
from the crevass toward me. Norman, Where's Norman?
Speaker 9 (08:24):
You got here?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
He can't be how I don't know. I have the
rope frayed on some eyes at the edge.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Suddenly it went slack. I heard him.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I heard maybe if.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Not too deep, he might have fallen into a drift
at the bottom. Stay here, I've got to see that.
I delayed the rope about the ice axe and pay
out the rest of it as I slid down the
slope to the crevasse. But when I looked over the edge,
I knew that dark blue, almost black emptiness below. I
knew there'd be no snow drift for Norman Perucci's body
(08:59):
unless it is perhaps ten thousand feet below us. We
by it past that place, found a shelter from the wind,
and pitched our tent. For a long time, neither one
of us spoke. I think we were too exhausted to
say anything. Exhausted and shocked. There were only two of us.
(09:22):
Now I keep hearing and no, you don't not the
way I do. He's a nice kid. Yeah, it doesn't
seem as cold without the wind.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How high do you think we are?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Twenty four thousand I wonder it's a little hard to
breathe better use the oxygen. No, not yet, we won't
need it. Yes, yes, we better say it. We're going
down in the morning. No, we've got to you and
I couldn't make it up there alone. It's twenty five
hundred feet to go, maybe more No, we've got to
(10:04):
go back. Let the others try just because he's gone,
is that?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Why?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Look, I've done more climbing than you out here. What
happened today is bad for the nerves. We couldn't make it.
We'll go back try again later.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
But the monsoons will be here later. We've got to
do it.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Now, Thomas and the others can do it. No, we'll
keep going. I've got to I'm not going back. That's
the matter with you. You're talking like a kid. Look, I
was the last one on your list when you got
the party together, wasn't I? Yes? Why why was I lost?
I don't know. Somebody had to be with you, that's all.
You're a liar.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You didn't want me along, none of you did.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You're here, aren't you?
Speaker 10 (10:40):
You?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
And I'm afraid of climbing, don't you?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And everybody a little meant why we do it? Meant
part of it?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I mean really scared. I'm really scared. You know that. No,
I don't. Look something happened when knowing something happened to
me today, I've got to go on to the top. Now.
You think I'll call you a coward if we don't. No,
all right, then forget it. We'll try again. Maybe next
year he'll be along too. I'll do it alone. Then
(11:10):
I'm going on alone. If you want to come with me,
all right, If not, it doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I'm going on.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
So on, gone, John. He didn't stop, just moved up
the ice slab and around the hummock out of sight.
I went back inside the tent to get my pack.
I couldn't let him do it alone, and I was
trapped into going with it. Then I saw that the
fool hadn't even taken his rope was neatly coiled in
(11:38):
the corner. I grabbed it up, and as I did so,
I saw the end of it, the end which had
broken when Peruci hung over the crevasse, the rope which
Eldridge had said was parted by the ice, but there
were no fray. Then the brake was clean. It had
been cut through, and the oil of Eldridge's knife blade
was still on it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Auto Light is bringing you, mister John Horiac with Ben
Wright as Eldridge in the Mountain Tonight's presentation in Radio's
Outstanding Theater of Thrills Suspense.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
OH Auto Light Stafos the battery for me, it's the
finest fine battery I ever didceived.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That tis the truth, mister McSorley. And that famous auto
light stainful needs water only three times a year in
normal car use.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Hallow me by which we repeat about the glass of
fiber a.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Pleasure, a pleasure. It is those fiberglass retaining mats around
every positive plate to redoce shedding and flaking and give
the auto light stainful longer life has proved by tests
conducted according to accepted life cycle standards. So friends, visit
your auto light battery dealer. He services all makes of
batteries and he's got an auto light stainful for your
(13:13):
car if a replacement is needed. To quickly locate you're
nearest auto light battery dealer, Carl Western Union by number
and ask.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
For operator twenty five. I'll tell you where to get
an auto light stainfule, the battery that needs water only
three times a year in normal car use.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
And as they stand, st Patrick's.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Death from bumper to tail light, you're always right with
auto light.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And now auto light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage,
mister John Hodiac in Elliott Lewis's production of the mountain,
a tail well calculated to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
When Eldridge had thought that he was going over the crevass,
he'd cut the rope which had held Norman Perucci's body
some twenty feet into the chasm to save his own life.
He'd done this, I pulled the coral through the straps
of my pack and left the tenth. I caught up
with Eldridge about one hundred feet higher. He was standing
(14:21):
on a shallow ledge, catching his breast, and his head
was tilted back, eyes fixed on that mountaintop, the brain
of the monster massive bit back there. We're cutting teps
up the cliff and nfl You didn't so no, I.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Didn't say you're coming with me.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Eh. I want to say that you get down alive.
You forgot your rope. I found it in the tenth.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I didn't think i'd need it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You might. Yeah, thanks, We better tie on together, all right?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Do you want to go fas?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
No, it's your party now, you lead, all right? He
had a funny look on his face as we roped together.
I think he must have known then that I'd found
out what he'd done. He didn't say anything, though, but
turned and began to move upwards. At three o'clock that afternoon,
(15:22):
we were at about twenty five thousand feet. It was
hard to breathe, now, terribly hard. We decided to rest
for a few minutes. I remembered looking down from the ridge,
looking down into the incredible scene below, then up and
the peak which loomed over us, clear against the sky
and perhaps fifteen hundred perhaps two thousand feet over us.
(15:45):
I remembered Perucci's excitement as he'd seen it further down,
and even then I thought it could be beaten, that
we might do it. Huh, here were.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Now, here's the oxygen from here?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Soon as we start again, I can't do anymore today. Yes,
we can go higher? Then what? And he gets doc
Camp finish it tomorrow. If we don't today, the storm
comes up, be in trouble. It won't.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
We're going to make it. I know we are. And
what that doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
After that, we have to go down to the others. Yes,
I suppose though, I have to tell him about Norman. Yes,
we're going to tell the same story. I think we will.
You know why I followed you, why I came along? Yes,
it's like that. Yes, you murdered a man, and that's
(16:40):
all there is to us.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I was afraid. I knew if I went over, we'd
all go.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It was the only way. If you had waited, we
could have got him out.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I didn't know it. Then I felt myself going. I
had to do it.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
What's all this for?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The wife? Out the sin? Get to the peak and
be a man again in a way. Perhaps you won't be.
You'll never be when this gets out, and it's going
to there'll be no place for you to hide, no
place to go. We'd better get movie. We began to
(17:16):
use the oxygen sparingly and kept moving up, flower and flower,
our hearts pounding with the effort. One hundred feet, two
hundred three. I began to feel lightheaded. I couldn't got
another step. I couldn't. Then it was four hundred feet.
(17:40):
Eldreds collapsed in front of me and lay in the
fine snow, sobbing.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
We stopped.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Stop here, We've got to go on No.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
And he sobbed like a child.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
His mind willed him to keep going, and his body
wouldn't allow it. We lay there, using our precious oxygen
because I think had we not done so, we'd have
died of fatigue. The wind had dived down completely, and
there was a silence so complete that you could almost
imagine it bore a sound in itself, deadening, awful. We
(18:35):
made camp and tried to sleep. We were too tired
to think of food. Where the night came a heavy
mist that began to grow much colder. The morning of
May twentieth was gray clouded. The peak of the mountain
was shrouded, and I knew that it was going to snow.
(18:55):
Directly ahead of us was an ice wall. There was
no way around it. We had to climb almost vertically,
cut our own steps with ice acts one by one
and climbed. That time, I took the lead. As I
nod at the rope, Eldred said, here, I'm casting me,
do you yeah? Afraid if I'm leading a new Paul,
(19:18):
I'll cut the rope again. You might let's go. At
that point we had ascended twenty five four hundred feet.
The ice wall would take us another one hundred higher.
The wind began to blow when we were half way up.
Two pathetic spects on a wall of the world. We'm
(19:43):
move around to the right after this step. There's a
bit of a ledge, all right, okay, come on. The
ledge was at most ten inches wide, narrowing down in
(20:04):
places to no more than a toe hold. I felt
my way along until the ledge gave out. Then the
hacking of steps began again. The wind tore at me, screamed,
and like a great hand tried to sweep me off
the wall. Once I looked down and it was as
though a white blanket were stretched out. Beneath it was snow.
(20:26):
I could see it billowing up and around, while above
the summit ignored everything beneath, the blizzard hit us. As
we reached the top of the ice wall. We found
a little shudder in the lee of a pyramid shaped
summit and waited, and then the slope seemed to lurch,
and I had a split second to see the wave
of snow pouring down on me. It was over, it
(20:47):
was done. The avalanche swept it down, smothering, killing, and
I thought of the ice wall and the dropped below.
That's all I remember. I had stopped falling. It was
(21:15):
my first thought when I came to. I wasn't dead.
I saw a pair of legs crouched next to me.
I didn't think you were going to make it where
I land. Yeah, hanging over the ice wall, but you
were behind me. You didn't go over, No, and don't
(21:38):
ask me why. It must have be a corner of
the avalanche that hit us. Sneel.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
You ended up pulling me down. My ex caught him
one of the steps in it.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
It held us both and you pulled me up. It
looks like it. Thanks. How long have I been out.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
A little more.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Blizzards letting up here? So yeah, do you feel like
going on? I think so?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
All right?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You tell me something? What Why did you pull me
out of it? Why didn't you just let me go
over the edge? Then you wouldn't have had me around
to tell Look.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
I'm not a murder above.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I cut Norman rope because I was afraid.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
If I thought there was even a chance of it's
not palling, I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
But I didn't know. Uh, Okay, that doesn't excuse me,
but it doesn't mean i'd kill you to get.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Out of it. Yeah, I better save the talk.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
We'll lead up bread. You want to lead, or shall I?
I'll do it. The storm had passed, and although we
could see the cold sky again, the peak was still
only occasionally visible through patches of myst We went up higher, higher,
(23:11):
and then my oxygen tank went out and we had
to share outages. We'd nearly reached twenty six thousand feet.
We could see the top for a moment. It stood
out clear, and it looked so easy the last flap.
But now we could only move a few steps at
a time until we had to rest, and I couldn't
(23:32):
get up again.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It looks pretty easy past that bridge.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
I've have to wait, boy, wait for me, go on,
No together, just wait.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Our at the beginning, Doe.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Huh, I'll come back for you. No minutes.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You dig the obstacle? No, John, No, I won't need it.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
You wait here, I'll get down again.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Wait. Look, I'll tell you I was afraid. Huh.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I'm still afraid.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That's why I got got do it.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
You understand still about.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I didn't have the strength to stop him as he
untied the rope which had held us together. Then he
was gone, and after a while I felt stronger. I
sat up. I could see him, a dark blob against
the mountain, snow smaller, smaller, and he was climbing upwards.
(24:57):
He'd reached the final pinnacles and became a dot that
was lost in the mist. I saw Eldridge once more.
He couldn't have been more than two hundred and fifty
feet below the peak. For perhaps ten seconds I saw him,
and then he disappeared. I waited. I waited into the knife.
(25:21):
The next morning, I began to look for him, but
the oxygen was gone. I knew that if I had
to climb another foot I'd die, and so I turned back.
There was no wind anymore. It was almost warm. Somehow
I got down down to the base camp. I told
(25:41):
him the story, almost the whole story, but not quite.
I changed a rope which had been cut with a
knife into a rope which had frayed and parted on
the ice. I remember as we started down to the
valley below. I turned and stood a minute, looking back,
(26:04):
looking up.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
In A cloud softly poured over the peak, and in
a moment the mountain was gone.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Suspense presented by Autolite to night Star mister John Hoodiac.
Speaker 1 (26:47):

Hello, Hello, bottom of the evening to you? You mean
top of the evening, don't you, mister McSorley.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, bottom My spirit A law is the water in
my car's battery.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Oh you mean it's dry, dry, and irishman's with Well,
now it's an auto light.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Stainful battery you're needing.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
That's the famous battery that needs water on the use.
You mean that long life battery.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Hello, is one and the same.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Fiberglass maps surround every positive plate to reduce sit and
flaking and give the auto light stayfull longer life, as
proved by test conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Where can I beget miss marvelous marvel.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Why from your nearest auto light battery dealer, the man
who services all makes of batteries To quickly locate him
dust phone Western Union by number and ask for operator
twenty five.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I'll tell you where to get an autolite staple, the
battery that needs water only three times a year in
normal car.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You and remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Right with autolite.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
And now Autolite presents the Mountain, starring mister John Hodiac,
hoping once again to keep you in suspense, We made
the fourth camp on the East Glacier, twenty two thousand
feet above sea level. In that cold, thin air, we
(01:56):
stood looking up, and in the great loneliness.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We saw for a few seconds, as the mist cleared,
we saw it the mountain, the peak towering over us
was beautiful and terrible. Then a swirling curtain moved around it,
and it was gone again. There were six of us,
and the porters Manton and Leeds had been sent back
to the third camp, some four thousand feet below. Those
(02:20):
had been badly frostpitten. So then there were six of
us left to make the attempt. Nobody had done it before,
no one had ever reached the top of that tremendous
windswept place, And now we were ready for the assault.
That night we held our last meeting in the fourth camp.
Games Thomas Feldman, Eldridge, Ferucci, and myself.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's the best way, the most practical. Three of us stay,
and three of us try to make it.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
We stand a bit a chance. We all do it together.
What do you think, Bop? I don't think so. Thomas
is right. Three of us go and have to turn back.
The other three will still be fresh. They can have
a go. That's right, all right? Sure, yes, okay, two parties. Thomas,
you'll head up the second stay at the camp. I'll
leave the first one up right. No, wait a minute,
don't we get a vote on this. No, it's a
waste of time. Start voting and we'll start arguing again.
(03:08):
Those momsons aren't going to hold off forever. Yes, how's
your leg? Harry?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I might hold you back. You better leave me down.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Here, all right, Beruccie, you want me to go? Feel
up to it? Sorry you bet gaines?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Okay, you're not a climate.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It get a lot worse higher better not?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, Look, why not let me go with you and
leave Harry in charge down here?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That leg will be all right in a couple of days,
don't you think Harry it ought to be. He hasn't
had enough experience for a lead man. There's nothing wrong
with me or is there. Well, well, I don't know, Johnny,
it's going to be pretty tough. Well, well, listen, john
what about it? Bob? I'm in good shape, I guess so, okay, you,
(03:58):
Perucci and myself. That'll be it. We'll start a daybreak
And that's the way we decided. There was no other possibility.
It wasn't that we didn't like Eldridge. It was just
that he was always flying off the handle, and because
of that, he wasn't a good risk. Nerves don't go
(04:20):
so well with mountain climbing. Not that mountain, cold and dangerous.
It's never gained peak hidden and mist. Later that evening,
Thomas and I were going over the equipment before turning in.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know, someday they'll invent an oxygen tank, this light,
that's these things weigh over thirty pounds. Yeah, Hey, Bob,
about Eldridge?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What about him?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Do you think he ought to go?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's the only way.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I guess you're thinking a big chance.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
He'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
We could only wait just a couple of days, Harriet,
be all right.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Late now, if the monsoon starts, none of us will
be able to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's the trouble. Well you have Brucie along.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He gets on pretty well with eldrick zandle Hell, it'll
be fine. We're all in good shape. I think we're
gonna make it that in a way.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
I hope you don't.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I'd like a crack out of myself.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh wouldn't that be something the first man to get.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
To the top.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You understand why I didn't take you, don't you? Of
course wish.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We'll thinking that's all? Well, you bet at ten in
I'll finish checking the stuff, Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
See you in the morning. On May the eighteenth, we
started to climb the Northwest Ridge. We were twenty three
thousand feet. Each of us carried a thirty pound oxygen tank. Besides,
the equipped went higher, the wind started to take it
out of us, and we felt the cold more pick can.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Eh, yeah, Why when you look at it up there,
that's it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
You must feel like you could jump and touch the top?
Big jump, Perucci? What do you figure about thirty five
hundred feet more right, something like that? The weather holes.
We might make it by tomorrow, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Not a cloud in the sky.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Oh with a look at.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That thing, boy, what can you say when you see him?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Outain like that. Save your breath. We'll move in a
few minutes. Then we hit patches of snow and the
face slowed down. We spelled each other as leader, and
it was my turn up ahead. Brucci was bringing up
the rear when I heard him yell and trough that
dreadful tug of the rope. At the same time, Bob
(06:36):
Brushi gone down.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
Diggin's boke?
Speaker 10 (06:39):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Crevass?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Who's the ideas?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
It won't hold?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
No, it's too soft. Here, my sippy bullet him, sippy.
I saw the snow crumbling away from beneath it to
his feet. I saw it, and I thought of a
man I knew who slip from an area ladder one
hundred feet up. And as he fell to the ground,
his legs raised wildly, armed waving, trying to find the
rungs to put himself back up. And Eldred was doing
(07:08):
it now, his heels turning into the soft snow at
the edge of the crevice. Then he found solid ice. Bob, Yeah,
can you pull me back?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I can't get to root you out from here.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I'm afraid I'll go over too.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm right on the edge.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Can he get a hold with his ash. No he
free the wolf.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
Folks.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I'll try. You'll have to fool too, Bob. I can't
do it alone. Too much weight, I'll tell you. I God,
I'm afraid to move. I can feel it going under me.
For around me there's solid ice a couple of feet back.
I can grab it with my ax. Go let go,
don't let me go, Sack, I'll go.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I want just hang on.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I knew that if I slipped. When I reached behind me,
it was the end. I looked at the figure of
Eldridge below me, his body bent backwards away from the
drop of me eat him. I closed my eyes, reached
behind with my axe, and dug into the ice I
got and as Eldred shouted, I thought I heard another cry.
And suddenly the rope weight was lighter. I saw Eldridge fall,
(08:16):
then get up on hands and knees and crawl away
from the crevass toward me. Norman, Where's Norman?
Speaker 9 (08:24):
You got here?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
He can't be how I don't know. I have the
rope frayed on some eyes at the edge.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Suddenly it went slack. I heard him.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I heard maybe if.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Not too deep, he might have fallen into a drift
at the bottom. Stay here, I've got to see that.
I delayed the rope about the ice axe and pay
out the rest of it as I slid down the
slope to the crevasse. But when I looked over the edge,
I knew that dark blue, almost black emptiness below. I
knew there'd be no snow drift for Norman Perucci's body
(08:59):
unless it is perhaps ten thousand feet below us. We
by it past that place, found a shelter from the wind,
and pitched our tent. For a long time, neither one
of us spoke. I think we were too exhausted to
say anything. Exhausted and shocked. There were only two of us.
(09:22):
Now I keep hearing and no, you don't not the
way I do. He's a nice kid. Yeah, it doesn't
seem as cold without the wind.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How high do you think we are?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Twenty four thousand I wonder it's a little hard to
breathe better use the oxygen. No, not yet, we won't
need it. Yes, yes, we better say it. We're going
down in the morning. No, we've got to you and
I couldn't make it up there alone. It's twenty five
hundred feet to go, maybe more No, we've got to
(10:04):
go back. Let the others try just because he's gone,
is that?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Why?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Look, I've done more climbing than you out here. What
happened today is bad for the nerves. We couldn't make it.
We'll go back try again later.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
But the monsoons will be here later. We've got to
do it.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Now, Thomas and the others can do it. No, we'll
keep going. I've got to I'm not going back. That's
the matter with you. You're talking like a kid. Look, I
was the last one on your list when you got
the party together, wasn't I? Yes? Why why was I lost?
I don't know. Somebody had to be with you, that's all.
You're a liar.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You didn't want me along, none of you did.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You're here, aren't you?
Speaker 10 (10:40):
You?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
And I'm afraid of climbing, don't you?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And everybody a little meant why we do it? Meant
part of it?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I mean really scared. I'm really scared. You know that. No,
I don't. Look something happened when knowing something happened to
me today, I've got to go on to the top. Now.
You think I'll call you a coward if we don't. No,
all right, then forget it. We'll try again. Maybe next
year he'll be along too. I'll do it alone. Then
(11:10):
I'm going on alone. If you want to come with me,
all right, If not, it doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I'm going on.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
So on, gone, John. He didn't stop, just moved up
the ice slab and around the hummock out of sight.
I went back inside the tent to get my pack.
I couldn't let him do it alone, and I was
trapped into going with it. Then I saw that the
fool hadn't even taken his rope was neatly coiled in
(11:38):
the corner. I grabbed it up, and as I did so,
I saw the end of it, the end which had
broken when Peruci hung over the crevasse, the rope which
Eldridge had said was parted by the ice, but there
were no fray. Then the brake was clean. It had
been cut through, and the oil of Eldridge's knife blade
was still on it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Auto Light is bringing you, mister John Horiac with Ben
Wright as Eldridge in the Mountain Tonight's presentation in Radio's
Outstanding Theater of Thrills Suspense.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
OH Auto Light Stafos the battery for me, it's the
finest fine battery I ever didceived.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That tis the truth, mister McSorley. And that famous auto
light stainful needs water only three times a year in
normal car use.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Hallow me by which we repeat about the glass of
fiber a.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Pleasure, a pleasure. It is those fiberglass retaining mats around
every positive plate to redoce shedding and flaking and give
the auto light stainful longer life has proved by tests
conducted according to accepted life cycle standards. So friends, visit
your auto light battery dealer. He services all makes of
batteries and he's got an auto light stainful for your
(13:13):
car if a replacement is needed. To quickly locate you're
nearest auto light battery dealer, Carl Western Union by number
and ask.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
For operator twenty five. I'll tell you where to get
an auto light stainfule, the battery that needs water only
three times a year in normal car use.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
And as they stand, st Patrick's.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Death from bumper to tail light, you're always right with
auto light.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And now auto light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage,
mister John Hodiac in Elliott Lewis's production of the mountain,
a tail well calculated to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
When Eldridge had thought that he was going over the crevass,
he'd cut the rope which had held Norman Perucci's body
some twenty feet into the chasm to save his own life.
He'd done this, I pulled the coral through the straps
of my pack and left the tenth. I caught up
with Eldridge about one hundred feet higher. He was standing
(14:21):
on a shallow ledge, catching his breast, and his head
was tilted back, eyes fixed on that mountaintop, the brain
of the monster massive bit back there. We're cutting teps
up the cliff and nfl You didn't so no, I.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Didn't say you're coming with me.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Eh. I want to say that you get down alive.
You forgot your rope. I found it in the tenth.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I didn't think i'd need it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You might. Yeah, thanks, We better tie on together, all right?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Do you want to go fas?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
No, it's your party now, you lead, all right? He
had a funny look on his face as we roped together.
I think he must have known then that I'd found
out what he'd done. He didn't say anything, though, but
turned and began to move upwards. At three o'clock that afternoon,
(15:22):
we were at about twenty five thousand feet. It was
hard to breathe, now, terribly hard. We decided to rest
for a few minutes. I remembered looking down from the ridge,
looking down into the incredible scene below, then up and
the peak which loomed over us, clear against the sky
and perhaps fifteen hundred perhaps two thousand feet over us.
(15:45):
I remembered Perucci's excitement as he'd seen it further down,
and even then I thought it could be beaten, that
we might do it. Huh, here were.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Now, here's the oxygen from here?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Soon as we start again, I can't do anymore today. Yes,
we can go higher? Then what? And he gets doc
Camp finish it tomorrow. If we don't today, the storm
comes up, be in trouble. It won't.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
We're going to make it. I know we are. And
what that doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
After that, we have to go down to the others. Yes,
I suppose though, I have to tell him about Norman. Yes,
we're going to tell the same story. I think we will.
You know why I followed you, why I came along? Yes,
it's like that. Yes, you murdered a man, and that's
(16:40):
all there is to us.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I was afraid. I knew if I went over, we'd
all go.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It was the only way. If you had waited, we
could have got him out.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I didn't know it. Then I felt myself going. I
had to do it.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
What's all this for?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The wife? Out the sin? Get to the peak and
be a man again in a way. Perhaps you won't be.
You'll never be when this gets out, and it's going
to there'll be no place for you to hide, no
place to go. We'd better get movie. We began to
(17:16):
use the oxygen sparingly and kept moving up, flower and flower,
our hearts pounding with the effort. One hundred feet, two
hundred three. I began to feel lightheaded. I couldn't got
another step. I couldn't. Then it was four hundred feet.
(17:40):
Eldreds collapsed in front of me and lay in the
fine snow, sobbing.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
We stopped.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Stop here, We've got to go on No.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
And he sobbed like a child.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
His mind willed him to keep going, and his body
wouldn't allow it. We lay there, using our precious oxygen
because I think had we not done so, we'd have
died of fatigue. The wind had dived down completely, and
there was a silence so complete that you could almost
imagine it bore a sound in itself, deadening, awful. We
(18:35):
made camp and tried to sleep. We were too tired
to think of food. Where the night came a heavy
mist that began to grow much colder. The morning of
May twentieth was gray clouded. The peak of the mountain
was shrouded, and I knew that it was going to snow.
(18:55):
Directly ahead of us was an ice wall. There was
no way around it. We had to climb almost vertically,
cut our own steps with ice acts one by one
and climbed. That time, I took the lead. As I
nod at the rope, Eldred said, here, I'm casting me,
do you yeah? Afraid if I'm leading a new Paul,
(19:18):
I'll cut the rope again. You might let's go. At
that point we had ascended twenty five four hundred feet.
The ice wall would take us another one hundred higher.
The wind began to blow when we were half way up.
Two pathetic spects on a wall of the world. We'm
(19:43):
move around to the right after this step. There's a
bit of a ledge, all right, okay, come on. The
ledge was at most ten inches wide, narrowing down in
(20:04):
places to no more than a toe hold. I felt
my way along until the ledge gave out. Then the
hacking of steps began again. The wind tore at me, screamed,
and like a great hand tried to sweep me off
the wall. Once I looked down and it was as
though a white blanket were stretched out. Beneath it was snow.
(20:26):
I could see it billowing up and around, while above
the summit ignored everything beneath, the blizzard hit us. As
we reached the top of the ice wall. We found
a little shudder in the lee of a pyramid shaped
summit and waited, and then the slope seemed to lurch,
and I had a split second to see the wave
of snow pouring down on me. It was over, it
(20:47):
was done. The avalanche swept it down, smothering, killing, and
I thought of the ice wall and the dropped below.
That's all I remember. I had stopped falling. It was
(21:15):
my first thought when I came to. I wasn't dead.
I saw a pair of legs crouched next to me.
I didn't think you were going to make it where
I land. Yeah, hanging over the ice wall, but you
were behind me. You didn't go over, No, and don't
(21:38):
ask me why. It must have be a corner of
the avalanche that hit us. Sneel.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
You ended up pulling me down. My ex caught him
one of the steps in it.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
It held us both and you pulled me up. It
looks like it. Thanks. How long have I been out.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
A little more.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Blizzards letting up here? So yeah, do you feel like
going on? I think so?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
All right?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You tell me something? What Why did you pull me
out of it? Why didn't you just let me go
over the edge? Then you wouldn't have had me around
to tell Look.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
I'm not a murder above.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I cut Norman rope because I was afraid.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
If I thought there was even a chance of it's
not palling, I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
But I didn't know. Uh, Okay, that doesn't excuse me,
but it doesn't mean i'd kill you to get.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Out of it. Yeah, I better save the talk.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
We'll lead up bread. You want to lead, or shall I?
I'll do it. The storm had passed, and although we
could see the cold sky again, the peak was still
only occasionally visible through patches of myst We went up higher, higher,
(23:11):
and then my oxygen tank went out and we had
to share outages. We'd nearly reached twenty six thousand feet.
We could see the top for a moment. It stood
out clear, and it looked so easy the last flap.
But now we could only move a few steps at
a time until we had to rest, and I couldn't
(23:32):
get up again.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It looks pretty easy past that bridge.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
I've have to wait, boy, wait for me, go on,
No together, just wait.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Our at the beginning, Doe.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Huh, I'll come back for you. No minutes.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You dig the obstacle? No, John, No, I won't need it.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
You wait here, I'll get down again.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Wait. Look, I'll tell you I was afraid. Huh.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I'm still afraid.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That's why I got got do it.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
You understand still about.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I didn't have the strength to stop him as he
untied the rope which had held us together. Then he
was gone, and after a while I felt stronger. I
sat up. I could see him, a dark blob against
the mountain, snow smaller, smaller, and he was climbing upwards.
(24:57):
He'd reached the final pinnacles and became a dot that
was lost in the mist. I saw Eldridge once more.
He couldn't have been more than two hundred and fifty
feet below the peak. For perhaps ten seconds I saw him,
and then he disappeared. I waited. I waited into the knife.
(25:21):
The next morning, I began to look for him, but
the oxygen was gone. I knew that if I had
to climb another foot I'd die, and so I turned back.
There was no wind anymore. It was almost warm. Somehow
I got down down to the base camp. I told
(25:41):
him the story, almost the whole story, but not quite.
I changed a rope which had been cut with a
knife into a rope which had frayed and parted on
the ice. I remember as we started down to the
valley below. I turned and stood a minute, looking back,
(26:04):
looking up.

In A cloud softly poured over the peak, and in
a moment the mountain was gone.
