WHALING IN ANTARCTICA.
NORWEGIANS* SECOND CRUISE. (By TelesTapb.—Oivn CorresT'<m ae ' nt -' DTJNEDIN, Wednesday. The Norwegian steamer Sir James Clark Ross returned to Port Clialmers to-day en route to Antarctica for another season's whaJing. The steamer left Tort Chalmers on April 17 to take the last season's catch in oil and whalebone to the Kuropaan market. She left her fleet of whale chasers to winter ill Stewart Island. After taking in water and coal at Port Chalmers, the Sir James Clark Ross, which is the mother ship of the expedition, returns to Stewart Island, picks up her brood of chasers, and proceeds to Antarctica. Last season's trip was a pioneer venture and although expectations were not quite realised in regard to the extent of the cajLeh it proved a payable proposition. With the experience then acquired, Captain Larsen, who has also had experience of whaling in the Arctic as well as in South Georgia, expects that the forthcoming season will prove to be very successful. The Kamona arrived at Port Chalmers to-night with Westport coal for the whaler, which leaves next week for Stewart Island.
