Ship Held in the Ice.

At no time could the ship approach
nearer than twenty-five miles to Gran
lite harbor to relieve the western geo.
logical party, though repeated attempts
were made. The pack in this direction
was extremely heavy. The ship was
caught and detained on several Occa
sions for two or three days at a time
though fortunately without experiencing
dangerous pressure.
February :. the line of fast ice was
four miles north of Cape Evans, but very
rotten at the edge. Shore parties from
Cape Evans were able TO communicate
with the ship by the help of dog sledses.
but the ice was too dangerous to allow
! further passage between ship and shore.
( II was not until February that the ice
broke away to Cape Barne and allowed

The work of sledging stores ashore

winds. Mules and new dogs were landed

Effort to Reach Northern Party.
| The ship steamed south along the coast
and found the geological party at Blue
Glacier. After embarking them the ship
proceeded north to relieve the northern
party in Terra Nova bay. but found a
large extent of heavy pack ice from forty
five miles south of Brygalski barrier to
north of Cape Washington. which baf-

THE TERRA NOVA'S REPORT.

Following is the Terra Nova's report:
The Terra Nova sailed from LittIeton
December -, with seven mules. fourteen
dogs and further years supply of stores
Exceptionally fire weather was eXpe-
rienced. with light winds, which enabled
the mules to be frequently exercised on
deck during the whole voyage.
This weather also permitted complete
soundings to be run from New Zealand to
the Antarctic. Soundings under six faith
oms were obtained until 100 miles ca st
southeast of Campbell Island Thereafter
deep water was experienced, the greatest
depth being 3.100 fathoms.
Many lCeberSS We're met south of 81
degrees. Loose pack ice was met at GA
degrees south December 26. tire main body
being entered the 9th at ~ degrees 80
minutes south
The ship finally left the pack early in
January after passing the rough 1870 miles
of il. being completely held up from De-
cember % to December 81. While in the
pack the dogs were exercised daily on
the large ice foes.
Robertson bay reached January .. was
found completely filled with pack ice and
icebergs, which, together with swift tidal
streams, made the relief OF Campbell s
party, henceforth called the northern
party. difficult the ship being only able
to approach the beach at Cape Adare for
two hours.
Both on the Sd and 4th the ground
swell considerably interfered with load
ing boats ashore After embarking the
northern party January the ship pro-
ceeded down the coast to land the party
near Wood bay. Much pack ice was met
with and prevented the ship from ap-
preaching the coast, but eventually the
party landed in Terra Nova bay north of
Brygalski barrier January s.
The party proposed to work due north
thence leaving Melbourne eastward and
the Mount Nansen range to the west. pro-
ceeding as far time allowed with the
object of examining the northeastern ex-
treme land plateau both geographically
and geoloGically.
The ship then proceeded south to COM
municate with Cape Evans and relieve
the western geological party at Granite
harbor. She was again held in the ice for
two days. and finally arrived off Beau
fort Island January ~. where it was
found that heavy pack ice blocked the
whole entrance TO McMurdO sound and
extended across to the western coast.
On the LIST the Terra Nova able to
penetrate the pack off Cape Bird. but

two dog teams. A severe blizzard broke

fresh food. which had been brought out.
After resting the dogs DR.. Atkinson de-
cded to take the invalid to Discovery
Hut in a single march, and the dogs
covered the thirty-four miles in about
four hours.
After weeks rest DR. Atkinson allow
ed Evans to he moved by sledge to the
Terra Nova, but attended him for an
other week when he considered the pa
tent out Of danger. Evans condition
continued to improve, and he is now
convalescent. After complete rest in
New Zealand he will. it is hoped, be able
to proceed to England on the business OF
the expedition, and return in time to
make the relief voyage south with the
Terra Nova at the end of the year.
Provision for SCOTS Party.
Lieut.. Evans states that no anxiety
need be felt concerning the health of the
members of SCOTS sledge team. He
Evans) was absent from winter quarters
on surveying work and depot laying from
September . until just before leaving on
the main sedge journey. During this pc
Rod he had necessarily to eat sledging
rationS, while other members of the
southern party were in the hut about two
months before leaving. Great care was
taken by the doctors, and all in the hut
ate fresh meats and other anti scorbutic
food daily.
1t may further be pointed out that
Evans had an exceptional amount of man
haulage to do. owing to the motor sledge
breaking down, which accident did not af-
feet any member of SCOTS present party.
The southern party. having five men to
pull their sledges, will return very easily

of their movements can be given. They
landed at Cape Adare February IL, 1911,
the ship sailing the following night. Their
hut was completed March 3. with only
one interruption from gale. It's site
was the middle of the Adele penguin
rookery, which occupies very dry spot
on the moraine and extends far up the
mountain side. The hut was thus sur
rounded by countless numbers OF pengulns
during the whole summer.
The first blizzard of hurricane force
was experienced March 10. when the ane-
mometer broke after recording a vino
velocity Of eightyfour miles an hour.
During the winter these severe gales
were not uncommon They shook the hut
violently. and on one occasion the porch
was blown away. Otherwise, except 1or
minor mishaps, the hut stood well, be
ing wen supported by ropes passed over
il and secured by two buried anchors.
The sea finally froze over the bay dur

The Party Picked Up.

January the party returned to Stone
Hut to await the ships arrival, but over
thirty miles of fast sea ice remained be-
tween sledge and open water. After wait
ing for weeks until only ten days of avail
able sledging food remained. they decided
to retreat over Piedmont glacier to Dis
covery Hut via Butter point. No specl-
mems or personal gear could be carried
Some twenty-foot crevasses were cross
ed on the first day. but then a route was
found at a 1OOO-foot level which avoided
the larger crevasses. They found all the
sea ice had broken out south of Dunlop
Island After coasting around open Wa
ter for the next ten days, the party was
crossing Blue glacier when they were
picked up by the ship February u.
It is highly probable that the Terra
Nova will be able to obtain the speci-
mems collected at Granite harbor in 1919.

Leaving for the north. the Terra
Nova with difficulty steamed through
new ice at the entrance of the sound
having at times to back astern and
charge at full speed to make any i'm

the season was probably caused by the
extremely late date on which the Ice
broke away. pack thus formed late
in the season of heavy bay ice some
feet thick. and not only kept the tenn
