Tho, expedition which started about year
ago to complete the exploration Of western

Lindsay. has been complete failure. It was
the most expensive expedition ever organized
for Australian exploration. It was fitted out
by Sir Thomas Elder. and 1t started northward
Unto the desert region to carry out plan OF
explorations formulated by the Royal Geo.
graphical Society Of Australia. The e1pedi-
tim has disbanded. and most Of its members
are\in Adelaide. the officers having boon dis
satiSted with the leadership Of Mr.. Lindsay.
They complain OF incompatibility Of temper.
and DECLARE that he did not treat them with

continua 90. however. to express full confidence
In Mr.. Lindsay. but It is not likely that he will
be in charge Of another expedition.

camels. brought from Arabia with their driv-
ers. They had undergone a long season Of
