ANTARCTIC DISASTER.

(Continued from page 5)

The search party now turned north" ward, having decided to direct their efforts next to the relief of Lieutenant Campbell and the Northern party. On November 25th Surgeon Atkinson brought his party to Hut Point and there received the welcome news that the entire Northern party, consisting of Lieutenant Campbell, Surgeon Lavick, Mr. Priestly (geologist), and Seanga Abbott, Browning and Dickinson, had returned in safely to the Expedition's base at Cape Evans on November 7th.

Lieutenant Campbell's party, which had been picked up at Cape Adare and landed. for a short side journey in January, 1012, returned to Terra Nova Bay on February 17th, expecting to be picked up by the Teri Ford.

The ship, as detailed in last year's despatch, met with its conditions, approaching the coast, that were insuper able, and was forced to leave Lieutenant Campbell to make his own way back to Cape Evans, some 200 miles away. The journey could not be attempted until the

was properly frozen appointed at the non-appearance of the ship, Lieutenant Campbell set to work on March 1st to prepare to winter. Duly considering the resources at his disposal, he selected for the home of his party a snowdrift, and into this they cut and burrowed, eventually completing an igloo, 13ft hy ft. in its dimensions. This they insulated with seaweed.

NORTHERN PANTY'S PRIVATIONS. Whilst the igloo was in course of con- struction every seal that appeared was killed, for lack of food and fat was the great problent that had to be faced, Lieutenant Campbell and his companions led a primitive existence here for six and a half months. Their diet was principally seal-meat and blubber, eked out with a Tew biscuity and a very small quantity of They had only their cocos and sugar. summer sledging clothes to wear, and these were soon saturated with blubber, which penetrated to the skin.

Their meteorological record shows winds which were almost constantly of gale force. Temperatures were not recorded, their thermometer being broken.

Sickness in the shape of enteritis attacked the party and so weakened them that a start for Cape Evans was not made Even then the until September 30th. condition of Petty Officer Browning gave cause for grave anxiety, but on their arrival at Cape Roberts they fortunately, but unexpectedly, found a food depot left by Mr. Griffith Taylor, the geologist. The change to biscuits restored Browning to health in a remarkably short time. The Northern party's troubles now ended and they made good progress to Cape Evans. This party was fortunate in picking up Professor David's specimens on Depot

Island.

(Note. This refers to valuable speci- men collected by Shackleton's Northern Sledge Party,)

The most remarkable feature of this journey is that the entire party lived through an Antarctie winter and actually sledged 230 miles on the stores and equip- ment left for one month's sledging.

FINAL TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.

LITTLE STORIES OF

THE DAY.

DOMININ OF THE OLD SCHOOL

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19TH, 1918,

I examined the contents of the satchel of a schoolboy of tender years the other day, and found it to contain sixteen books of study. The text books covered a wide curriculum, and the perusal of them awakened in me sympathy for the school boy, together with a feeling of thankful- neяs bat my own school days had been passed in a inore stern, if less strenuous, nge, when tawe were more in evidence than text books.

I mentioned this subject to an old High- lander whose school days date away back to the "Hungry Forties," and he assured me that in those days be trudged to school with a Bible in one exter and a post for the school-room fire in the other. The Bible was the only book possessed by each of the scholars, and it had to serve for all purposes. As a reading book, place-. names occurred which battled alike tho tongues of school master and pupils to pronounce. The master never was known to admit defeat, however, for recognising that "discretion is the better part of valour," he would extricate a halting render by observing sagety, "Pass it on, my lad; ye'll never be there."-Glasgow

PIONEER

The No. 10 and No. 11 VISIBLE REMINGTON MODELS are the latest expressions of Remington leadership. They represent the sum total of all Typewriter Achievement-past and present.

They contain every merit that the Remington has always bad, and every merit that any Writing Machine has ever bad,

They contain, in addition, new and fundamental improvements that no typewriter has ever had; among them the FinST COLUMN SELECTOR, the FIRST BUILT-IN TABULATOR and the FIRST, TBY-ET TABULATOR. These improvemente are the latest contributions to Typewriter Progress, and they are Remington contributions-every one.
