icebergs and packice are like in this

There was nothing to do but
to return to Petermann Island. Winner

DIR. CHARCOT GIVES
ACCOUNT OF TRIP

Paris, April Especial. DIR Char
cot, the famous French explorer, who
recently returned from an Antarctic
expedition, gave a detailed account OF
his trip in q letter to the Academy
of Science.
His ship, the Pourquoi Pes, reached
the South American Antarctic region
on December 22 1903 After explor-
ing the southern Shetlands, south OF
Cape Horn, he turned west and reached
Wandel Island on January l, 1909. Dr.
Charcot, accompanied by three COM
panions, set out in a launch to find
better anchorage, and discovered
a harbor on Petermann Island.
After bringing the Pourquoi Pas
round to the spot DR.. Charcot with
two companions, started on a recon-
rcitering trip, taking neither food nor
change of clothing, intending to re-
turn the same day. Ice blocked their
path and snow fell and cut them off
for three days. On the fourth day, half
dead with cold and hunger, they
resolved to make a last attempt to
reach the ship, and at length heard the
siren of the Pourquoi Pas scraamin g
through the fog.
From Petermann Island the expedi-
ton eaded south along the coast COM
pleting the map made by previous
French expedition. A large pay was
found and named Malta Bay Adelaide
Island was measured and found to be
70 miles long instead Of 8 as previously
charted. South of Adelaide Island a
great gulf was discovered in a region
never before seen or explored The
vessel entered and moored to the
pachice.
Here the expedition was involved for
four days in a continual struggle with
vast masses of ice. which every mo-
ment threatened to crush the ship. DR..
Charcot says it Is a miracle the YES
sci escaped. An iceberg collapsed be-
side it and only a quick turn of the
helm saved the ship. In spite of In
cessant peril from the Ice 120 miles
of coast was charted.
After two attempts a passage was
made to Alexander l Land, which was
charted, but to Dr. Charcot's despair
the expedition could not winter thcre.
