I'VE left Sydney behind us Thurs
day afternoon, after an elaborate
farewell and Godspeed from the in
habitants, and are now sailing north
for Labrador. We have learned by
wireless that the Labrador coast Is
packed with ice and navigation prac-
tically impossible, but we are hoping
conditions will improve before we get
much farther north.
The steamship Seal, with 200 pas
sengers, is locked in a pack, with
her propeller blades gone and help
less and a steamer from St. Johns,
is endeavoring to
work through the ice to her relief.
Icebergs Chill Wind.
1.-The wind is beginning 90 catch
the chill of the icebergs and in two
days, or perhaps less, we should find
ourselves among them. If the Straits
Of Belle Isle are blocked we shall
do our best to make Red bay and
seek shelter until a favorable wind
starts the ice offshore again. when
we hope to work the Bowdoin to
Cape st. Charles, from which point
we will have an inside run to Battle
harbor. There we expect to reoccupy
our old magnetic station of 1921. In
our work on the important subject
of terrestrial magnetism all the old
stations will be visited and work
done at every opportunity.
$50 far everything is going nicely.
In the event of our fuel becoming
exhausted during the long trip, we
have planned to mix kerosene oil with
seal and walrus white oil. Our en-
gines have already been tested with
this mixture and work beautifully.
Wednesday night, while at sea, thanks
to an American Radio Relay League
operator, we were provided with con-
siderable excitement through the re-
ceipt of the Dempsey-G Gibbons fight

detail of the proceedings, and again
demonstrated its wonderful possibilt
ties. All the boys were delighted
with Tom Gibbons plucky showing. :
