Wild ordered all hands to assemble and there was a deep sense of something ter rible impending in the air. A ̋ cold"] drizzle was falling.

Nobody exept those who attended Shacketon's last moments were aware of the calamity. Wild asked if all were present, and then said: "Boys, I've ter- rible news for you. Sir Earnest Shackleton died at 3.30 this morning from heart failure. The expedition will go on," "His voice broke as he turned away. All hands were stunned, but work was carried on. Wild went ashore at Monte Video to make the funeral arrangements, while Macklin, Dell and Hussey prepared the body. They buk it ashore on a stretcher covered with a sheet and a white ensign. | Shackleton's departure from thứ ship was simple as las would have wished.

Sir Ernest Shackleton kept to Himself, Wild and Kerr the grave' news of the engine trouble, fearing to produc des pondency. He was apparently cheerful, but looking old and worn with anxiety. Be-took me to his cabin and told ine that he had never s longed to reach port. It was the worst stort he had ever known.. While taking in snil, black struck Carr's forehead, and for a short time incapaci tated him. Wild was wonderfully calm and cool' all the time, taking Shackleton's orders and seeing them properly execut ed. He, cheered everybody and worked strenuously for the safety and comfort of ali. At the height of the storm, Macklin and Worseley climbed aloft the topsail and fastened something which was adrift. Shackleton had the highest opinion of them both.

The Director of the British Museum announces that ring with ethnographic interest and a romantic history has re cantly been presented to the Museum by Sir Rider Haggard. A schoolmaster re- ceived it from a friend who had travelled much in America. The friend's story was was that while in Peru be had opened a grave-mound, wherein he found thirteen mummified figures." On the finger the principal figure was this ring, which the discoverer withdrew. It was the legend attached to this ring which, necording to Sir Rider Haggard, first turned his im agination towards the invention of stories of adventure. Eventually Sir Rider Hag- pard became the possessor of the ring, and he has now transferred it to the British Maroum. The ring is gold, of considerable substance, and this markings Lon it are of uncertain character,
