From him. a reporter gleaned that the .Discovery, after returning from the expedition, hud been cold to the Hudron'e BayCompany, and was actually berthed at London a day or two before the Xinirod left. The Terra Nova is now in American hands, and at* one time took part in. a relief expedition in connection with Commander Peary's dash for the Pole. Captain McKay, who was in command of the Terra Nova, has been whaling for some time. Before joining the Nimrod Mr Morrison had a "longshore job."
