A Lone Hand.

Martin McGee waited to keep his
latest appointment with Rosalie LIE
Grange on a bench in Stuyvesant Fish
Park. dead center for the Hebrew pop
ulation in New York. He speculated
lazily and with some amusement upon
the habits of Roealis LIE Grange-so
much her own, yet SO well conceived
for her purpose. For example. this
method OF holding business confer
ences on secret affairs-for she al
ways set her appointments in some
out-of.the-way open space. 1t was
a highly original. highly effective
plan. One could enter without at
tracting attention.; one could watch
the approaches: meeting in pub
lie park-grant that 1t we're discov.
cred in such a remote part OF the city
could be passed of as an accidental
encounter, not conference. That
was one OF the thousapd ways in
which her mind thought faster and
further than his.

eyes were laughing!
How do you do?" he repeated after
her. And then. as though he must be

WILL. Send Relief
ship TO SHACKLETOh
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON. March 25.-Hasty ar
rangements for the fitting out of a
relief ship TO go in search OF Lieu
tenant shackleton's Antarctic expedi-
tion, were being made today. though
the fate of Shackleton and other
members of his party was in doubt.
The New Zealand authorities were
urged by cable again to attempt wire
less communication with the ship
Aurora. which first reported the
Shackleton party in peril. The Au-
rora's wireless message was badly
garbled in transmission.
The only brief dispatch. telling Of
the disaster TO the New Zealand
part OF the shacklecVn part OF the
expedition have reached London. Ac-
cording to these dispatches, the Au-
rora broke adrift from her moorings
last May during a violent blizzard.
Captain Mcintosh. with eight men,
was ashore a. that time establishing
a food depot and engaged in scientific
explorations. The Aurora drifted
northward in the pack ice for ten
months. covering a distance Of 1.20O
miles. Her rudder was snapped of,
but after drifting free of the ice field
the crew constructed a temporary
steering gear. Unless the damage TO
the Aurora was too severe. IL is
thought possible she may be in con-
dition to return to the relief Of the
Mcintosh party.
II relief ship is fitted out at once
it may reach Cape Crozier and escape
before winter at the South Pole. COM
ing in June and July. closes the ice
barrier again. II is most probable
however. that no relief ship will reach
the Cape until next December unless
the Aurora is In shape to return.
