"Flagler Fjord is like magnifi-

The second message from Com
mander Byrd, follows:
After establishing a base yester-
day at the end of Flagler Fjord,
Nal and NA-3 left at P. NJ. to
leave additional 100 gallons Of gaso-
line at base but tide and wind had
filled water with ice and landing was
impossible. No proper landing place
