VOYAGE OF THE “QUEST.” NEW ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION, DIR E. SHACKLETON'S PLANS.
Sir Ernest Shackleton is, about, lo undertake a new voyage of Antaratio exploration. It will take him, 20,000 miles in the Atlantic and Pacife and those uncharted seas that guard the Pola His staff will include men who were with, him in the Nimrod and the Budurana; and his object is to solve some of the problems of geography as they affect little-known islands of the great pecans and the long mysterious line of the Antarctic region.
Q
The expedition, which will start about the end of August, has been made pos sible by the generosity of F. John Quiller Rowett, at Ely Place, Frant Sussex. A large donation has been given also by Mr. Frederick, Becker, "the papef manufacturer. Thanks to them, the ex- pedition will be equipped for every branch of scientific research with the most modern instruments and methods.. LITTLE BUT GOOD,
The ship is called the Quest, and is a little vessel of hardly more than 200 tons not She belongs to the Roys! Yacht Squadros, It must not be inferred that she is a frail craft. On the contrary, with her sides ft. thick, of oik, piše, and fir, and her bows, shod with steel, she is well Atted for the stranuous part she has to play, among erratic bergs and deceptive Antarctic fows. Het length is only lift., beam 23ft., depth 1gft. As she lies at Southampton, near the dock! which accommodates the Aquitania, her dimensions seem diminished by contrast; and indeed, without masts and funnel, she could be stowed away in one of the funnels of the great liner. Built in Norway four years ago, she has had her quality tried in the ice of the north. Her steaming radius is 9,000 miles; with knots. The sail area is now being in her original sail she could do eight creased she is being rigid as a brigun tine; and other extensive alterations are being carried out by Messrs. Therny croft, of Southampton. Above and below decks there will be laboratories and general scientific provision; platforms are in course of erection for sounding machines, by which the ocean depths can be tested down to 30,000ft; together with winches for winding in captive balloons for examining wind currents, and home for the specially-constructed reaplane from which Sir Ernest Shackle ton hopes great things. A powerful wireless set will be added.
