CRUISE OF THE QUEST.
ARRIVAL AT CAPETOWN. DODGING THE PRESSMEN. (Received 11.30 a.m.) CAPETOWN, June 18. Elaborate precautions were taken to prevent Press interviews when the Quest arrived here. The ship was sent back to sea after landing Captain Wild and two officers. Following the Quest in a motor boat a correspondent managed to get aboard. He found everything upside down, the ship looking very battered after her long voyage from South Georgia. The <yew were "tired but happy, and were reading letters. The Quest called at Gough Island for deep sea soundings, and discovered a hitherto unknown species of bird. At Tristan Da Cunha she found all well, including the clergyman, Mr. Rogers, and his wife. The Quest was in daily wireless touch with Europe, even in the Far South. The explorers were welcomed by the Mayor of Capetown. Captain Wild told a correspondent that he was quite satisfied with the results of the voyage, but would like to have done more. The Quest will remain luirc for three weeks, repairing and replenishing stores before returning South. — (A. and N.Z.)
