WHALING IN ANTARCTIC.
ANOTHER EXPEDITION. (By Telegraph.-SDecial to "Star.") DUNEDIN, this day. The whaling steamer Sir James Clark Ross, which left Port Chalmers hut fall for Europe, with a valuable cargo of whale oil from the Antarctic, is returning South, and is expected to call at Port Chalmers on the 11th of nest month for water. The Sir James Clark Roes is the mother ship of the expedition, and her fleet of small whale ehaßers were left to winter at Stewart Island, when she left these latitudes at the end of last whaling season. Last season's expedition did not prove quite so successful as was anticipated, but it was the initial venture, and the experience then gamed will be utilised to make the ensuing season's activities more remunerative.
