over, his ships were i'll equiprS d for
contact with an ice pack. The q lpedi-

sloop Vincennes, failed to get across

British navigator James Weddell, but
covered only about two.thirdss of the
route when he ran against ithe ice
pack and was obliged to turn back.
The sloop Flying Fish, undei' Lieut..
Walker. went farther and turned back
after reaching 20 degrees South.
The expedition again went South
from Sidney on December rs, 1883, in
the midst of the Antarctic summer.
This time there were four ships-the,
Vincennes, commanded by Wilkes3
the Peacock. under Lieut.. William L.
Hudson; the Porpoise. under Lieut..
Cadwalader Ringgold, and the Flying
Fish, under Lieut.. w. L. Pinkney. The
squadron sailed west and south of the
Balleny Islands, which they did not
see, and then cruised westward along
the ice pack. On January 10 Lieut..
Hudson reported land seen from the
masthead. During the next few days
all four ships reported seeing noun
tain peaks. Wilkes sailed for nearly
1000 miles along the Ice barrier, SEEK
ing In vain for. a place to land. There
was no break in the black cliff. The
squadron wasa buried In a dense fog

Eoth these expeditions reached the
pole. One other man, Sir Ernest
Shackleton, nearly succeeded in 1902,
when he came within 81 miles of his
objective. He was obliged to turn
back because of diminished supplies.
After the discovery of the pole, Shack
Teton formed the project of crossing
the Antarctic continent from east to

mass which now bears the name of
Palmer Land, and his reports of
mountain peaks in the distance to the
south indicate that he actually looked
upon west Antarctic. Palmer was
more than a whaler-he was a con-
scientious explorer, and continually
went out of his way to add geographic
cal knowledge. His fame, however,
only recently has been revived
After his discovery of Palmer Land,
the explorer ran his ship into a shell
tered bay in the South Shetlands.
There he was met by Capt. Fabian
Gottlieb Won Bellinghausen of the Rus
sian navy. leader of an organized ex-
ploring expedition into the Southern
seas, who had crossed the Antarctic
Circle six times and discovered two
islands, Peter the First Land and
Alexander Land. Palmer told the Rus
sian of his discoveries, and the latter
gave generous credit to the American
whaler in his reports to the Russian
government.
Palmer's standing as an explorer
and the justice of his claim to the
discovery of the worlds seventh con-
tinent has been disputed and defended.
On some maps his name is attached
to a long strip of the continental
coast and to an archipelago just off
the coast. Other maps leave his name
off the mainland altogether. The chief
claim of the Yankee whaler is found
in the journals of Bellinghausen, who
displayed generosity rare among
explorers.
The most generally recognized claim
to the discovery Of the Antarctic con-
tinent, or at least of east Antarctica,
Is that of Charles Wilkes, commander
Of the United States exploring ex.
petition which sailed from Newport
News in the Autumn of 1888. This
expedition was the first ambitious eff.
fort of the young Republic to win a
place for the Stars and Stripes In the
annals Of exploration, somewhat COM

Britain from the voyages OF the cele-
brated Capt. James Cook. The expe-
