It was absolutely necessary for the
comfort of Captain Scott and his men
that the awful penetrating cold OF the
south polar region be kept out When
q hot day comes around and we have
10 sleep in these rooms-wow!
The staterooms are lined with wool,
being insulated to keep the cold out.
One Of the officers volunteered the in
formation that it was often so hot in
his room that he went down TO the
engine room TO cool off.
Mysterious passages for which the
crew cannot account are pointed out to
the visitor. Rooms with fine ceilings
and fittings, for which there does not
seem TO be any use, will be found be-
tween decks Captain Williams ex-
plains the presence of the secret rooms
TO his men by smilingly telling them
that these are for some unknown pas
sengers who may come aboard some
day.

Vessel That Was Held Fast
Two Winters by Antarctic
Ice Left London on April

Against Gales.

The Discovery. the ship in which
Captain Robert Scott made his cele-
brated and tragic expedition TO the
South Pole, slipped unnoticed. into port
on Friday and tied up alongside Com
mercial Wharf. in South Brooklyn.
The ship which carried the explorer

queer vessel built 70 withstand thou

Discovery IS graceful. Her lines are
those of low-fying swallow, with the
massive strength of a lion.
This Is the first trip Of the Discovery
to the United States. She is here for
q cargo Of ammunition for the men Of
France fighting in the field. Built in
1900 by the Royal Geographic Society
at Dundee, Scotland, for Captain SCOTS
Antarctic expedition, the Discovery for
two winters was solidly frozen in the
ice fields. The money spent in the
hard woods of her hull was fully justi
fed time and again during the Perilous
months in crushing ice near the south
ern extremity of the world.
After her Antarctic voyage the ship
was sold to the Hudson Bay Company.
She has made several voyages between
the busy piers of London and the for

third is rugged fore and aft. She has
an engine and a propeller that will let
her do seven knots when the sails are
idle. With her wings spread out she
can do ten or more knots. A crew OF
twenty-five men and officers, most Of
them home-loving souls, according TO

ACTION ON ROFRANO
Not Ready to Investigate
Allegations in Political
Murder Trial.
COMMISSIONER
WANTS NEW DEPUTY
Mayor Expects to Hear from
District Attorney on Charges
Made in Gaimari Case.

Mayor Mitchell made 1t clear yester-
day that he will take no action at THIS
time in the case of Michael A. Rofrano'
Deputy Commissioner Of Street Clean
ing. who has received considerable no.
torietv in connection with political
murder trial now in progress. lie mas
boer embarrassed by the unpleasant
publicity that has come to the city ad-
n,inistration. but feels it would be un-
fair for him to attempt TO form any
Judgment in connection with the allie
cations that have beer made at the
trial.
The trial is ;hat Of Rocco Carnivale
on the charge Of irst.gatng the muir
der Of Michael Galmari. one OF the po-
litical Heutenants of Tom Foley, Dem
ocratic leader in the Second Assembly,
District. Rofrano has for several years
been the anti-Foley leader IN the as
trict and a bitter feud has ragged pc
tween the two camps. Thursday one
~ tho witnesses at the trial testlhed
he had heard Rofrano say he wanted
10 get rid of Gaimari. Paul l.. Stryker,
counsel for Carnivale, has repeateuIy
referred 10 Rofrano as member Oh
the Mitchell cabinet.
1t was reported yesterday that Mayor
Mitchell had asked Commissioners wall
stein of the Department Of Accounts
to make an investigation Of the con,
duct of Rofrano, but the Mayor denied
this emphatically. He explained that
he considered it would be unfair 10
Rofrano TO appear to take account OF
allegations which will be investigated
by the District Attorney.
However, entirely apart from TINS
case, the chances are that Mr.. Rotrano
will not remain in the Department OF
Street Cleaning long after the Mayor
feels he can take action without ap-
nearing TO be influenced in any way by
the charges made in court.
It is known that for some time Com
missioner Fetherston has felt that ms
department would be more efficient II
he could have another deputy. He went
to Mayor Mitchell about the matter
lust before the Mayor went West. Inc
Mayor promised to take it under con-
sideration when he returned.

made out. The ship has been called
SCOTS tombstone.
Being built to with stand ice press
ure, her great bows are made of hard
woods, eighteen feet solid. Teak,
greenheart, stout oak and pitch pine
have gone into her construction with
out a thought for expense. In strength
the Discovery is a Gibraltar of the
seas.
Her hull at its thinnest places is two
feet three inches in thickness. OF this
thickness there is one foot of oak, one
foot Of lockwood and three inches OF
pitch pine Iron has not been used on
the Discovery, for it would have seri-
cusly interfered with the compass and
other delicate instruments, which were
located forward, and upon which rested
in great degree the success Of the
voyage.
Copper has been used to a great ex-
tent. The crew, proud Of its fittings,
point to the copper joints, blocks and
the like, which meant the investment
Of small fortune.
Built for Cold. Heat Irksome.
"The deck houses are built TO keep
out the cold" George Bush, the first
mate, said. They are made of teak
wood and solid oak. The only ventila-
ton we get is that which filters IN
through this little device in the door.
