sweet milk: serve with syrup. butter
and sugar, perhaps lemon: with

many to Geneva and the recognition
of Germany's right to parity in
ornaments with France must include
the question of these various regional
pactS. Beyond any question France
and Italy will stand together in insist
ing that if they recognize the German
right to parity in ornaments the Ger
mans must join in the Roman pact
guaranteeing the independence OF
Austria. That would then constitute
a Locarno of the Danube like the ex-
iSting Locarno Of the Rhine. That
France and Italy will also call upon
Britain to subscribe to this pact seems
certain, although British commitments
here promise to be more limited than
in the original Locarno.
If Germany refuses to take such a
pledge-that is, to respect Austrian
independence-it is likely that nothing
will happen in the matter of recognlZ-
ing her right to parity or of her return
to Geneva. On this point France,
Italy and the Soviet Union are sure
to be united even if the British seek
to get concessions for the Germans
without regard to new Locarnos. Un-
less the four great powers reach a
preliminary agreement, therefore, Ger
many is likely to exploit British re-
luctance to her own profit. 1t is not
less evident that in return for sup
porting France and Italy in Austria,
where they have slight interest, the
Soviets will demand the backing of
both Latin nations in the case of the
Eastern Locano, where their own
concerns are vital

December 81 we reached the pack for
the second time, forcing the ship
40 miles south to latitude zoos south.
From this point We withdrew five
| miles, to take advantage of OPEN
water for a take-off, and on January
| 8, 1884, made our second flight, this
time to latitude 1890 south, longi-
tude 1865 west.
Altogether it was dramatic
fight. Fog closed in, and on the
return flight to the ship We had to
fly blind part of the way. The air
speed indicator froze and the plane
was on the verge of icing up. Fly
| ing quite low, we twice burst over
huge bergs with barely so feet of
clearance Haines, the meteorologist,
said when we came aboard the ship,
well, you fellows certainly stole
one that time"
AS before, the pack ran to the
| limit of vision.
Having already overstayed the
| time allotted for these eastern oper-
ations, and still facing the tremen-
dous job of re-establishing the Winter
| base of Little America, we had no
choice but to start the long voyage
| to the west. We withdrew from
the pack and commenced to run
along the front of it. Fortunately
the wind and current had carried
much Of the pack out of our path,
and, edging southwark from the 67th
to the 69th parallel. the Rupert
| again broke into unknown waters.
On January 10, when she stopped to
let aviation resume the assault, she
had reached latitude $3.50. longitude
| 1921. Here we had our third aerial
| thrust into the unknown, flying to
latitude 71.45 along the 152d
meridian.
This flight closed the Ruppert's
operations in the eastern sector. She
was then steered directly for Little
America. But in February, after the
ships were unloaded, I was tempted
to strike at the heart of the matter
with different weapon and from a
new quarter With Capt. English I
took the Bear of Oakland on a
voyage of exploration. Before the
worst sea ice have ever seen stopped
the plucky old ship we had worked
our way northeast to latitude 1905
south, longitude 1890 west, and
thence westward to the 159th me-
ridian, so that for all practical pur-
poses the gap between the flight
tracks and the known coast was
closed.
The significant result of these op-
perations, together with our subse-
quent explorations in the eastern sec
tor, was to identity q vast area of
unknown as Pacific Ocean and ex-
tinguish the hypothesis Of an archi-
pelago reaching into it.
The Task Begins.
The bitterest task. in facing Win
tering problem, is the establishment
| of the base camp. Luckily for us, the
old buildings were available, though
| the roofs of several had been crushed
by the snow; but new buildings had
to be built for the larger personnel
and a vast amount of stores had to be
unloaded from the ships and trans
ported to Little America. A direct au-
proach was barred by impossible pres
sure ridges. A circuitous trial more
than six miles long was cut, through
the ridges and at one point a 10-foot
gap of open water was bridged with
telephone poles.
Every ounce Of stores-more than
500 tons in all-had to be hauled
over that road. Night and day. for
three weeks, tractors and dog teams
shuttled between the caches. One
plane made 26 flights to expedite the
movement Of vital equipment The

and the best tools of our trade that We
could beg, borrow or buy.
For many years my curiosity had
been attracted by that strange bulge
of white unexplored space jutting into
the Pacific Ocean in the Pacific
Quadrant between the 10th and 120th
meridians West. Somewhere behind
it lay the most extensive stretch of
undiscovered coastline on the face of
the earth. Since the time of Cook,
innumerable explorers had tried in
vain to make break through. only to
find the way barred, as he had, by
mountains of ice and pack Of i'm
penetratable thickness. After leaving
New Zealand, instead of laying a
course direct for Little America, re-
solved to try to cut away some of this
unknown.
An unprotected iron ship like the
Rupert was a poor weapon with
which to engage the worst pack ice
in the polar seas, but we fortunately
had another string to our bow.
Cooked on special TERED pedestal on
the after deck was our twin-engined
Condor biplane, William Horlick; in
New Zealand it had been equipped
with floats. 1t was our intention to
press the Rupert as far into the pack
as seemed practicable and when she
was stopped to renew the assault by
air. These tactics proved extremely
successful. risky as they were.

Flying Over the Pack.
The initial operations were aus
picious. Laying course to fetch us
up at the intersection Of the Antarc-
tic Circle of the 150th meridian, we
were gratified to break 1856 miles
past Cooks record, something In
these latitudes which had not been
surpassed in a century and half
The Rupert ultimately attained lati-
tude 6645 south, longitude 150.1C
west. 1t would have been impru-
dent to risk driving her deeper into
the ice, SO we withdrew her for IL
miles to a lovely open lake in the
pack. and there let aviation carry
the burden of the penetration.
The first flight carried us within
sight of the 10th parallel, close tc
$50 miles beyond the deepest pene-
tration in this region and within
300 miles of the coast of Marie
Byrd Land. To the limit of vision
along our track the sea was Uttered
with pack.
Enticed by the likelihood that nc
land lay nearer than the coastal
front we had discovered in 1929,
decided then to run east to the
120th meridian, where DR.. Charcot
had made a deep penetration, and
try to gain the coast along that
meridian. Those many miles OF
! casting no man aboard the Jacob
Rubbert Is likely to forget; 1t was
impressively instructive as to why
this area has so long resisted inva-
sion. We entered the heart of the
greatest producing region in the
world, which we called the Devils
Graveyard. For days we never saw
the sun.
The ship felt her way past in
Vulnerable bergs in dense fog. On q
bright day DR.. Poulter, senior scien-
tist, estimated we saw 5000 bergs
in "a hours. On one day, in fog
and in a gale, we lay helpless for
an hour and a half in the midst
of them with our engines stopped.
Flying in Fog.
Still we persevered, sometimes
