FIRST ANTARCTIC WRECK.
Steamer Lost I'm All That
Vast REGION.

Of all the many vessels that have en-.
gagged In Antarctic exploration from the
time Of Capt. Cook, in 1913, to the pres
ent day, the steamer Antarctic is the
only one that has ever been lost in that
vast region. To be sure. we have had
no tidings for year from the British
ship Discovery and the Scottish steamer
Scotia, but there is no reason to believe
that they are lost, says the New York
Sun.
The Antarctic, which carried the
Swedish party to Graham Land, south Of
TERRA del Fuego, was q Norwegian
whaler, specially built for navigation in
pack ice, and was in fine condition when
DR.. Otto Nordenskjold sailed from home,
on October is, 1901. The disaster which
sunk her was not due to any inferiority
In the boat: nor is 1t at all likely that
her commander, Capt. G. A. Larsen. was
at fault for the loss Of his vessel.
Capt. Larsen became we'll known to
geographers In 1894 through his brill.
liant explorations on the sailing vessel
Jason. He was sent to the south polar
regions on an experimental quest for
seals and whales, and as he did not ind
the game he was after he turned his at
tention to exploration and brought to
light 12O miles of hitherto unknown
coast line on the east side Of Graham
Land.
1t was the irony Of fate that his in
comparably better vessel, the Antarctic.
should have been crushed in the ice on
February IL last in the very waters In
which he had safely cruised In his sail
ing vessel nine years earlier. His party
spent last winter after the wreck on
Paulet island, overlooking the waters In
which he had caught some seals in 1894
The disaster occurred about 625 miles
southeast of Cape Horn.
1t should be remembered that thu
Nordenskjold exploring party was MOI
involved in the shipwreck itself. The
Antarctic had taken the explorers tt
Graham Land in February, 1902, and LEFT
them in Admiralty Inlet, some 60 miles
southwest of the place where the vessel
was crushed in the ice year later. Aftel
participating in the summer work thu
Antarctic left Nordenskjold and his five
companions at their camp on shore ane
returned to Buenos Ayres.
In November. 1902, the Antarctic
sailed again to take part in last sum
mer's work and to bring the party home
at the end of the season. Then the yes
sci was crushed and Nordenskjold spen
his second winter at his camp while thu
ship party was ashore further north.
Of course the failure Of the explorer
to return in March last caused grea
anxiety. Prompt measures were takeI
to relieve them when the present Ant
arctic summer dawned, and fortunately
every member Of both ship and lant
parties is returning home. 1t will b.
interesting to learn what success hal
attended DR.. Nordeuskjold's efforts t.
extend our knowledge OF this little
known land mass.
Meanwhile the French expedition un'
der DR.. Charcot, which was to take par
in the search, having been relieved o.
this duty, is about to sail from Buenoi
Ayres for Graham Land to carry ou
it's scientific work, which includes LAND
exploration and biological. magnetic
and photographic Investigations.

OPERATION REPORTED
TO BE SUCCESSFUL

A letter was received today from
Milwaukee stating that Attorney B.
r. Goggins has recovered from the
effects of the operation and he will
probably return to the city in about
four weeks. His many friends in this
city will be pleased TO learn this news.
The necessity for the amputation was
caused by an injury which Mr.. Cog
gins suffered when a boy. The limb
has given him great deal OF trouble
and he has at various times had
operations performed on its account.
This winter he has suffered great
deal, and recently the physicians with
whom he consulted gave the advice
that the deceased limb was menace
to Mr.. Goggins' life and the amputa-
ton was decided upon.
