Pictures Show the Many Difficulties and Dangers of Making Long Expedition I'm Regions Where Ice Is King

INTEREST in Lieutenant Sir Ernest
 H Shackelton's expedition toward the
 N south pole, in which he discovered
 new land and also faced many hardships has been renewed by the re- ceipt in this country of pictures of the expedition, made by the explorer him. self. The accompanying views give an accurate idea of what the region in the polar districts looks like and also give a good insight into the difficulties of making headway against the ice foes.
 Almost from the first, after starting from South Georgia in December, 1914, the Endurance experienced unfavorable conditions. Within a month the little ship was forging it's way through ice foes. A new land, with a coast line of about 200 miles and great glaciers dis charging into the sea, was discovered during this period Future maps will show this latest addition to British ter ritory, but will contain no mention of New South Greenland. which Shacllle-
 ton proved to have been a myth. Shackleton's soundings in the region heretofore charted on the maps as New South Greenland are declared to have shown 1901 fathoms of water. Other work of the expedition included a com plete Astrological survey of the We'd dell sea, continuous magnetic and me- l neurological observations, important bi- ological observations, moving picture | records to Oct. 30 and photographic records up to date
 Satisfaction over their earlier achieve 1 ments was soon overshadoWed by a | foreboding that the approaching season | was likely to be an abnormal one. A | great migration of thousands of seals l northWard' was observed. They were escaping from a doom of which they | had been forewarned by instinct The Endurance pushed on, only to meet with | worse conditions. At length she be- came wedged in ice foes, while bergs lowered above her as though they might | at any moment OverWhelm the vessel.
 For weeks on end the Endurance re- i sisted the pressure, but by August it
 was apparent she must be crushed into
 mass of splinters. The party was
 then forced to make camp on one of 1 the ice Hoes.
 Then came the end of the Endurance.
 "The terrific pressure" says Shacllle- | ton, "tern1inated in the tearing out of 1 her stern and rLdder post" The main
 deck drove upward, ice cut into the 1 hull, the fires were extingu:shed and, | caught in a trap from which there was
 no escape, the vessel became hopeless
 wreck.
 The little party of explorers found | themselves strangers in frozen world
 of their own. They were the sole in l habtants of the field of ice. Their only sustenance was the small supply of pro- visions taken from the lost ship before l she was abandoned, and their only hope

 J.

He received most of his earlier education at his mother S knee under her tutorship. He was able to attend school only few weeks each year. At thirteen he started out to make his way in the world By teaching school in the winter he was enabled to take a short course in the Eastern Hi nois Normal school at DanviIle. He was admitted to the bar in 1889. In 1890 he was elected to the state senate of Indiana as Republican. In 1894 he was elected to congress, and in 1904 he was elected governor of Indiana by a majority of almost S5.000. MT. Hanly
