Show undertaken rather for the purpose or geographical survey than with the Idea of reaching the pole itself, it may be eald to have succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. ' Shackleton made pome departures from the usual preparations for a Journey Jour-ney across the snow and Ice. He took with him a motor car, which could be substituted for a sled and light woolen clothing In place or heavy rura. Briefly summarized, the results or the expedition are that a potnt was roached within 111 miles of the sontn pole; that tho magnetic pole was also reached; eight mountain chains were 1 discovered and ono hundred mountains. moun-tains. Mount Eerebus, 13,120 reet high, was ascended by the party; a new ,coar.t and hlh mountains were located running run-ning west from Vlctorlaland and coai measures were discovered In the Ant-artic Ant-artic continent. The theory or the existence ex-istence of an area of atmospheric calm around the south pole was disproved. Lieut. Shackelton thus describes tho daph to the pole: "The southern party, composed ot Adamil, Marshal. Wild and myseir. with four ponies and a supporting party consisting of Brocklehurst, Joyce, Marspn, Armytage and Priestley, Priest-ley, left Cape Boyd on October ny. 1908. Oon November 3. we lert Hut Point with nlnoty-ouo days' provisions, provis-ions, but were held up cm White Island, Is-land, which wo. reached on November 4. The supporting party returned to the permanent quarters on November 7. Owing to the bad light among tho leo crevasses, Adams and hiB pony were nearly losL "A few days later we reached the depot of latitude 79.2U, longitude 168 east. We commenced to reduce our dally rations and traveled south along meridian 16S over a varjlng furnace of ridges and mountains of snow, alternating al-ternating with noft snow In which tho ponies often sank in to their bellies. "In latitude SI. 64 wo shot a pony and made a depot of oil. biscuit and pony meat, taking tho rest or the pony meat to eke our dried rations. Wo reached the 'Discoveries' southernmost latitude on November 26. Tho surface now became soft with large undla-tlons. undla-tlons. The ponies were attacked by snow blindness and the Becond ot tbora shot, the depot being made In latitude 62.45, longitude 170. On November No-vember 30 we killed our third pony. "Steering south and southeast wo were now approaching a high range of new mountains, trending to the southeast. On December 2 wo discovered discov-ered a glacier 120 miles long and approximately ap-proximately forty miles wide, running In a south and southwesterly dlrec-, tlon, and on December 5 we started to ascend It at latitude 83. 33, longitude 172. The glacier was rull or bad crevasses. It took the whole of the next day for us to tight our way t0U yards. There were many dangers to be feared, for at any moment ono might be thrown Into some unknown depth. As It was, on December 7, the last remaining pony broko through a snow lid and disappeared in a crevasse. cre-vasse. Fortunately the singletree snapped and we saved Wild and tho stage, which was damaged. The party was now hauling a weight or 2ao pounds per man. "The clouds disappeared on December Decem-ber 8, and we discovered new mountain moun-tain ranges trending south and southwest. south-west. "On December 18, we reached an altitude al-titude of 6,800 feet. In latitude 8b degrees, 10 minutes, ' seconds, we made a depot and left everything there but our food, instruments and camp equipment and reduced our rations ra-tions to twenty ounces per man daily. On the 26th we reached a plateau at an altitude of 9,000 reet, then gradually gradual-ly rising in log ridges to lO.OW) tcet. Finding that the party was bcomlng weakened we decided to risk making a depot on the plateau. On January 4th, we proceeded with one tent, utilizing uti-lizing tho poles of the second tent for guiding marks for our return. During January 7, 8 and 9, tho snow blew 70 mllos an hour with 72 degrees of frost It was impossible to move, and members mem-bers of the party were frequently frost-bitten In their sleeping bags. On January 9, wo left camp and reached latitude 88 25, longitude 162 ea3t, this being the most southerly point ever reported. Here we hoisted the Union Jack, presented to us by Her Majesty, tho Queen. No mountains were visible visi-ble and wo saw only a plain stretching stretch-ing to the south. Wo them started on the return trip." "Wo roached the upper glacier depot de-pot on tho 19th. Tho snow had been blown from the surface of the glacier, leaving only slippery 'blue Ice, which presented the greatest difficulty in the descent. "On the morning of January 20, our food wag finished. It was blow going. Sixteen miles were coverod in 22 hours. We reached the lower glacier depot. In latitude S3. 45 on the 27th. There wo obtained food and proceed with greater speed.' On February 2 Wild was suffering from dysentery, the effects of the horse meat, and on February 4 the party was proatrated from the same disease and unable to move. For eight days the men suffered, suffer-ed, but, our condition improving, wo managed to make our way to "Chinaman "China-man Depot." on February 13. Tho food hod run out again. "Three days later we came In sight of tho depot on Minna Bluff, which had been laid by the Joyce party In January. Here we received news from the ship. Marshal had a relapse and though he suffered greatly, we made a forced march of 24 miles. He was unable to go beyond that and on the 27th I left him in camp in charge of Adams while Wild aud I made another an-other forced march to the ship for relief. re-lief. On March 3 I returned with a' relief party and all reached the ship at Hut Point on March 4, in a blizzard. The total distance of the journey, including in-cluding relays, wa3 1.70$ miles and the time occupied, 126 days." Professor David described tho northern north-ern party's Journey to the magnetic pole which was undertaken by himself, him-self, Marson and Mackay. The party hauled two sledges by relays, the total to-tal weight being 600 pounds per man. They made the start on October 5, 1908, and proceeded north of Cape Bernachl, and thence. living mainly on Bcal meat, crossing the Nordens-klold Nordens-klold barrlor and relayed to the Dry-golskl Dry-golskl glacier. On Docembor fi, after some difficulties, the party once being be-ing nearly lout, they reached the main glacier between the Mountains Iarxen and Bellingshausen. From that on it was fair traveling to the Island plateau, pla-teau, the altitude of which was more than 7.000 feet They reached the magnetic pole, 200 miles northwest of the Draygalskl depot on January 10, and hoisted the Union Jack. Marson determined the position of the polo as beolng In the vicinity of latitude 72.25. longitude 154.
