ANTARCTIC JOURNEY.
EXPEDITION OF 1901. SURVIVOR IN NEW ZEALAND. (Per Press Association). AUCKLAND, February 17. A man who believes that he is the only survivor of Captain Scott’s 19011904 Antarctic expedition, Air W. I. Weller, has returned) from London without having traced his only brother. He ascertained that there were so many stepbrothers and stepsisters that he abandoned the search. A book of his life and adventures is shortly to be published in London. He ran away to scai at the age of 10 when his mother died fifty years ago. His father, a retired superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, died five year ago, aged 95. He had been maried five times and had a large family by each wile. It was hopeless to trace all the children. “Only once previously did I return to London,” Air Weller said. “That was during the war, when my visit was so brief that I had no time to trace the family.”
