m MILES FROM POLE

Daring Briton Tells Graphic Story
of Perilous Journey Over
Ice and Snow

The polar regions are gradually
yielding up their secrets to human per-
severance and determination. Lieut..
Ernest II. Shackleton Of the British
navy, who left his permanent quarters
last autumn for a dash to the pore.
has succeeded. after an arduous sedge
journey of Los miles. which occupied
126 days. in reaching within iii miles
of the south pole. or 334 miles nearer
than the point attained by the Dis
covery expedition Of which he was
an officer. As the expedition to the
South was undertaken rather for the
purpose of geographical survey than
with the idea of reaching the pole
itself. it may be said to have sue
ceeded beyond the most sanguine ex-
pcctatiOns.
Profiting by former experiences in
the Antarctic regions when all the
dogs succumbed to the strain and rig
Ors of the climate. Lieut.. ShackletOn
made some departures from the usual
preparations for Il journey across the
snow and ice. He took with him Il
motor car. which could be converted
into sledge. ana substituted ponies
for dogs and light wooden clothing for
heavy furs.
The main expedition. Of which Lieut..
ShackletOn was i'll command, reached
latitude 1923, longitude 1862 east while
a second party pushed forward to the
southern magnetic pole reaching lati-
tude 1926. longitude 1J4 east. The
British flag was left flying at both
points.
The narrative of Lieut.. ShackletOn's
achievements shows that the eXpedi-
ton endured the greatest trials and
privations The motor car. which was
useful in the preliminary expeditions,
failed on the uneven surfaces of the
barriers of ice. Briefly summarized.
the results of the expedition are that
point was reached within III miles
of the south pole. the magnetic poie

continent. The theory of the existence
of an area of atmospheric calm around

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine trial.
