Thrilling Story of Rescue
The rescue of the last survivors of
his Antarctic expedition by Sir Francis
Shackleton brings to a close an epic
story of heroism, dauntless energy.
peril and disaster, of which the first
pages were written in December, 1914.
Five times in the last two years the
explorer has plunged into the depths
Of the frozen south, all but the first
time in search OF members of his orig
inal expedition. who had been divided
and marooned for months on ice-locked
Businesses within the south polar cir
Gle.
Never abandoning hope of seeing his
comrades again. he repeated his at
tempts to get to them when there was
everything to discourage and nothing
TO hearten him, until his efforts were
finally crowned with success.
His first rescue of twenty-five Of his
followers who had been marooned Oh
Elephant Island was a triupmh of un.
faltering perseverance on the face Of
titanic obstacles. Sir Ernest's expedi-
ton was formed in the summer of
1914, with the purpose of crossing the
Antarctic Continent from Welland Sea
to Ross Sea, distance of some LOO
miles. more than half of it never be-
fore traversed by man. He himself was
to take the ship Endurance to Weddell
Sea, and from there cross to Ross Sea,
where he planned to have the other
vessel of the expedition, the Aurora,
waiting for him.
Aurora Goes Adrift
Sir Ernest set sail from South
Georgia on December 6, 1914, while the
Aurora, with the other part of the ex-
petition, left Buenos Ayres about the
same time. The explorer was never
able to reach the coast in Welland Sea,
however, and was compelled to spend

went down with all on board. The
other two landed the starving, half
crazed men on the bleak coast, where
they gradually recovered.
Three Rescue Attempts Fail
Two weeks later Shackleton set out
with five of his crew for West Georgia,
which was reached on May 10. I'M
medately the explorer set about to
rescue his comrades from Elephant ISL
and. Twice he set out from West Geor-
gis and a third time from the Falk-
land Islands for the stranded expedi.
ton, but in each attempt to penetrate
the icefoes he was completely baked.
On August 26 he chartered the steam
er Yelcho from the Chilean government
and began his fourth and successful
rescue voyage. Elephant Island was
reached four days later, and it took
lust one hour to transfer the twenty
two survivors and head north again.
These men had been confined to mar
row strip of land for days during a
severe blizzard and were saved from
death only by the formation of an ice
shield at the base of the island.
After a brief rest Sir Ernest set out
from New Zealand on December %

men. who had been marooned near
Ross Barrier for twenty-one months
with scanty provisions. This last res

conclusion, according to the above dis
