The Accident on Mt. Jefferson. Labor Day week-end (September 4th-5th, 1933) three Portland, Ore., boys set out to climb Mt. Jefferson by the east face, a steep snow climb. The three, Davis McCamant, Don Burkhart, and John Thomas were first missed on Tuesday morning when they failed to return, and search parties were immediately organized. After several days of intensive search, the bodies were found frozen into a crevasse just below the bergschrund of the Whitewater glacier and were recovered. They were still roped together when found and so the tragedy must have been occasioned by a slip on the part of one of the party, which is made the more probable by the bad conditions then existing, a new fall of snow on ice. Earlier in the summer there had been a minor accident on this side of the mountain when a C. C. C. youth fell owing to a hold breaking out and was crushed by the rock and his leg broken.
