DISCOVERY II.

Research In The Antarctic

(Special Air Mall Serdoo),

London, Oct. 10.

The officers, scientists, and crew of the Royal research ship Dis covery II. are busy with Anal pre- parations and leavetakings before their departure from St. Katharine Dock. to-morrow for the Antarctic.

They do not expect to see the Fort of London again until the summer of 1937. and during the greater part of their absence the ship will be feeling her way along the edge of the South Polar ice

The Discovery will carry 50 men in all, most of whom are seasoned to the loneliness and rigours of Pular exploration. Among them are men who had their "training with Scott and Shackleton and others who have had a valuable apprenticeship in the service of the Hudson's Bay. Company.

The executive commander of the Discovery II. is Lieut. L'C. HIL. F.N.R.. Glasgow, who was frst officer on the ship's last commis sion, and who has served continu- busly in these expeditions since 1930. The chief engineer is Engl- neer Commander W. Horton, R.N. (ret.).

Dealers Astonished

<Special Air Mail ServI001

London, Oct 10. "The Queen is our goodwill." Thas did a shrewd dealer ex- press the unanimous opinion of her Majesty's Interest in beautiful and rare works of art, when she visited the second annual Antique Dealers Exhibition and Fair held at Grosvenor House yesterday.

The Queen spent two hours at the fair, and

did not sit down once in that time. Her keenness was unflagging. and her know- ledge and memory astonished even those who ad already had abundant experience of them.

As she passed the stand where hangs the much-discussed Law. rence portrait (shortly to be sold. I learn), her eye caught a Rey- nuids portrait of Sir Gerard Na- pier which she remembered hav- ing seen before,

SHREWD COMMENTS Noticing a superb chair covered with Mortlake tapestry, she re- marked: "There are six of these. to match. In Buckingham Palace. Where did you acquire tais?" The dealer at orice replied that he. 100. possessed "a

to the Duke of Buckingham.
