half soldier and half-trapper-were

sHAckLEToN FACED HARDsHIPs
Ship Fast In. Great Ice Floes for Nearly
Year Before II Was Sunk,

London. June ga further message
received today from Sir Ernest
Shackleton. the Antarctic explorer,
whose arrival at Port Stanley, Falkland
islands, was made known yesterday
shows that the expedition had re-
markable escape. After meeting with
almost unprecedented weather in the
early part of 1915, the lieutenant's ship
Ell Endurance was nipped by great ice
bergs and afterwards foundered.
Sir Ernest succeeded in getting of
all his men and some stores. Terrible
privations were suffered. After i most
hazardous journey the explorer reached
Elephant island. The scarcity Of food
became so serious that he decided to
leave the greater part of his men while
he set off for help. Rations for the men
left behind were stored in hole dug
in the ice.
After journey of three weeks Sir
Ernest reached South Georgia. There
he sought the assistance of whalers for
the rescue of the party on Elephant
island. but this proved to be impossible
owing to the prevalence of unfavorable
weather conditions. The message says
there is urgent need Of help for the
marooned men. 6-ss
In view of the information received
from Shackletons the plans Of the gov
eminent for sending relief expedition
from England will be abandoned and
whaler will be sent from the Falkland
islands.
After a careful examination Of the
text of Lieutenant Shackleton,s orig
inal cable, Sir Douglas Mawson, the
explorer. said today:
Instead of drifting until April 3 Of
this year. as has been suggested, it is
quite plain that the Endurance was
stuck in the ice foes from March Of
last year until Oct. u, when the pres
| sure became too great. The Endur-
ance was crushed and sank on the lat
ter date in the middle of Neddell sea.
Lieutenant ShackletoR abandoned
the sinking ship, dragging sne whale
boats and supplies on an ice foe, on
which he continued to drift until April
9 of this year.
1T appears that, having at that time
reached open water, the lieutenant and
his companions launched a whale GOAT
and sailed for Elephant island of the
South Shetland group. arriving there
April Is. There the lieutenant left
twenty-five men in an ice cave and pro-
ceeded with five others in an open boat
to South Georgia island. where he
hoped to meet whaling vessels and thus
get in touch with civilization.
His voyage from the South Shet-
lands to South Georgia, a. distance of
900 miles. in an open twenty-five foot
boat amid ice was hazardous and re-
markable feat, even for SO skilled a
navigator and seaman as Shackleton.
THE South Shetland. islands are in
vested with foe icesat this time of the
year and it will not be easy to reach
the men on Elephant island until later,
tho no doubt whalers will be sent now
from the Falklands in an attempt to
RESCUE them. ~
ut is understood that Australia is
sending relief party to reach the ten
| men who are stranded on the great
barrier on the Ross sea side, owing to
the breaking away Of the auxiliary ship
Aurora, which was to have met the
main party when it emerged"
