STONINGTON ISLAND, Antarc-
tica., July 26.-Credit for the first
hens egg to be laid in the Antarctic
goes to the chick Petunia. 20 But I
feel pretty proud myself of yester-
days happy event-considering the
care chickens need in polar regions.
The egg was perfectly shaped, with
strong shell.
1t all began in January OF this
year, when the Texas division of the
National Poultry Council gave me
five chickens and rooster before
we sailed from Beaumont.
The birds started the 7,000-mile
voyage in two coops lashed to the
rail outside by galley on the vessel
Port of Beaumont, Texas" They
got feed regularly and eggshells once
day for calcium. They recipro-
Gated with an average of two eggs
day until we reached the Roaring
Forties south of Valparaiso.
Cold Cuts Incentive.
The the motion and the cold cut
down on incentive among the sea-
going hens So I moved them be-
low decks, into dark but airy closet.
This was close to the mems sleeping
quarters and the chickens and I
came in for some bitter "chaff" on
account of the odd hours the rooster
choose to greet the dawn" and his
ladies to publicize their production.
I saved % eggs and hid them care
fully in my galley, with an idea of
trying to hatch some on our arrival
in Antarctica. But was stunned one
morning to discover that the three
men on the four EIGHT watch had
eaten my scientific program. The
hungry men did not realize their
mistake until it was too late-but
they're still known here as the egg
| watch!
The problem when we reached
these shores was to get the birds
from ship to camp without exposing
them to the penetrating cold. So
we wrapped the coops in blankets
while they were rowed ashore. And

This has led to some bitterness
among the more academic OF ou1
scientists; though personally I feel
that some of their discussions are
on a par of monotny with the chick
ems debates.
