A GREAT

When Commander Richard E.
Byrd, Virginian by birth, New
Highlander by adoption, sails Sept.
10 to the antartic, it will be for
a two-fold purpose. Primarily he
hopes to unlock the secrets of the
natural sciences which have been
locked in the ice of centuries. If
an expedition to the South Pole
is a great adventure, it is also, to
Commander Byrd, a great chal-
lenge.
Plant and animal life, in forms
not hitherto revealed, he believes
exist there. Perhaps he hopes,
too, to find an unknown race. The
antartic is geographically one of
the greatest tracts of uninvesti-
gated areas in the world; it is
undergoing crises of glacial
change.
Books have told what supposed
ly happens during periods of a
glacial change. Byrd wants to
see if what the books have sup
posed is the truth. He, with the
company of 81 men and 100 sled
dogs, will sail in the wooden ice
ship. Samson, for an anchorage
in the Bay of Whales in the Ross
sea. Because the Samson was
in Norway in 1885 it is old,
as sailing ships go. Dog sled
.ravel is one of the Oldest means
If transportation known to =
Airplane travel is the newest and :
,vercomes distances as the other 7
wo cannot. =
Byrd is especially interested in u
problems Of navigation as they
exist in a region whose air is .
lighter than any air through +
which he has thus far flown.
From the Christian Science D.
Monitor we learn that besides the
customary navigation instruments y
# an expeditionary flight, he is r
aking others, especially devised, P
With which to record the atmos- d
.heric phenomena hitherto I'M q
.nown. {
Not a flight to the South Pole +
rimarily; not a dash in the ordi- +
.ary meaning Of the term" Byrd
