GOOD PROGRESS.
THE BYRD EXPEDITION. MUCH SEA-SICKNESS. (By Russell Owen, Copyrighted, 1928, by the “New York Times” Company and “St. Louis Post-Dis-patch.” All Rights for Publication Reserved throughout the world. Wireless to “New York Times.”) ABOARD -THE CITY OP NEW YORK, March 6. Five days of strong and favourable winds has brought us within 570 miles of Dunedin at noon to-day, better luck than anybody had a right to expect, but most of us paid dearly for it, as 90 per cent, were dreadfully seasick. Men who haye never been sick before, men who have spent years at sea, have felt the effects ever since we left the Barrier, and we are wondering if tne fact cannot be traced to the unusual conditions in which we h aye lived tor more than a year. Some have advanced the theory that the unusual.diet was responsible, and that the absence of automobile and street cars has made us more subject to the effects of artificial motion.
