GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE.
Daniel Gainey Released on His Own
Resemblance.

Daniel Gamer. alias Daniel Gardner, an
eighteen-year-old boy. charged in two
separate cases with the theft of junk
was allowed to go at liberty in the Police
Court today upon his personal recogniz-
ance, after the youth entered pleas of
guilty to both charges. The courts lem
iency was due to the belief that young
Gainey had been acting under the infiu-
ence of certain local junk dealers.
Il feel confident that this boy went
wrong because of an evil influence over
him by unscrupulous junk Dealers" de-
clared Acting Judge Aukan. before
whom the case was tried. II am going
to let you go upon your personal recog-
nizance. and l hope the lesson of your ar
rest will cure you of evil tendencies in
the future.
The youth was formerly employee as
messenger by the local branch of tele-
graph company. He was arrested a day
Or so ago by Policeman Wise after thefts
of junk, valued at about S., from two

We discovered glacier 20 milcs
long and approximately forty miles
wide running in 4 south and south
westerly direction.
On December > we started to as
cend the glacier ut latitude SO deg,
80 min, longitude 172 deg.
The glacier was badly "creyasscd"
as the result of huge pressure. On
December the surface was so Gre
vassed that 1t took n whole day to
fight our way coo yards.
On December the pony Socks"
breaking through a snow-lld, disap-
peared in crcvasse Of unknown
depth. The swingle-trce swapping,
we saved Mr.. Wild and the sledge,
which was damaged.
The party was now hauling a
weight Of $50 pounds per man.
Unknown Mountains
The clouds disappearing on Decent
her s, we discovered new mountain
ranges trending south and southwest.
Moving up the glacier over treach-
erous snow covering crevasses, we
frequently fell through, and were
saved by our harness and pulled out
with an Alpine rope. The second
sledge was badly damaged by the
knife-edged crevasses. D.
Similar conditions obtained on our
way up the glacier from December g
to December rs, when We reached an
altitude of GS00 feet.
In latitude SO deg. 10 min. 3 sec.
we made depot and left everything
there but our food, instruments, and
camp equipment, and reduced our
rations to twenty ounces per man
daily.
On December &c we reached pla-
teau after crossing icefals at an altl-
tude of 5000 feet, thence gradually
rising in long ridges to lO,5OO feet,
Finishing relay work, We discarded
our second sledge. There was n CON
slant southerly blizzard Of wind and
drifting snow, with the temperature
ranging from 81 degrees to 40 de-
grees of frost. On December p we
lost sight of the new mountains,
Finding the party weakening from
the effects of the shortage of food,
the rarefied air, and the cold, | de-
cided to risk making a depot on the
plateau. On January we proceed
ed with one tent, utilizing the poles
of the second tent for guiding marks
for our return.
Union Jack Hoisted
The surface became soft and the
blizzard continued. For sixty hours

low temperatures, and were held
up" for seven days. The lowest tenn
perature was IS degrees of frost.
Motoring on the Ice
We found the Barrier surface inn
practicable for our mOtOr-slcdge, but
with the Arrol-Johnston motor did
much useful work over the sea-iCe,
laying depots and covering distances
aggregating over four hundred miles,
in spite of temperatures varying from
1 4 to 60 degrees of frost.
The Southern party" Messrs.
Adams, Marshall, Wild, and with
four ponies and supporting party
, consisting of Sir Philip Brocklehurst,
Messrs. Joyce, Marson, Armytage,
and Priestley, left Cape Royd on oc-
tober 20, 1908.
We left Hut Point on November 3
with ninety-one days provisions. We
were held up" on White Island on
November . for four days by biz
card. The supporting party returned
on November 7.
Owing to the bad light among the
ice crevasses Mr.. Adams and pony
were nearly lost
On November 10 We reached the
depot laid out in September in lati-
tude 10 deg. SO min, longitude 16S
east.
We took on pony maize and provi-
sions previously left there, and COM
menced reducing our daily rations.
We travelled south along meridian
les over varying surface, high sas-
trugi BRIDGES and mounds of snow }
alternating with soft snow. The po-
mics c.ten sank to their bellies.
In latitude 81 deg. min. we shot
the pony "Chinaman, and made q
depot of oil, biscuit, and pony-meat
The remainder of the pony-meat VIC
took on to exc out our dried rations
Snow-Blind Ponies
On November 20 we reached thI
Discovery expeditions southernmoSt
latitude. The surface was now ex
