Khinyang Chhish. The British-Pakistani Karakoram Expedition, under the joint leadership of Major E. James E. Mills and Captain Jawed Akhter, had overcome the greatest obstacles on the route up the southeast side of Kkinyang Chhish (25,762 feet) above the Hispar Glacier. They appeared to have few difficulties left before reaching the summit. On July 18 Major Mills and Captain M. R. F. Jones were preparing the route along a snow ridge at about 20,000 feet when the snow avalanched and dropped them 5000 feet below to the Pumarikish Glacier to their death.
