LIFE IN ANTARCTIC.
Byrd Party Inactive Due To Polar Night. LIGHT FALL OF SNOW. .***-- — (United Service.) (Received 9 a.m.) NEW YOKE, May 13. {By Mr. Russell Owen. Copyrighted 1928 by the " New York Times " Company and the " St. Louis Post Dispatch." All rights for publication reserved throughout the world. Wireless to the " New York Times."! BAY OF WHALES, May 12. To-day is clear again. The thermometer stands at 23 degrees below but it is calm and possible to walk- with comfort. The sky towards the north shows only a dirty grey with a bare suggestion of thin yellow'. We will have some light in the middle of the day for a week or two yet. Sunday is very much like every other day. When the routine tasks arc finished we perhaps loaf a little more. On Friday and Saturday there was a light fall of snow, which piled drifts to the lee of the nouses.
