EXECRABLE WEATHER IN ANTARCTIC.

♦ SHIP FORCED INTO OPEN MA. [Br Hoa«su Own—OpyrifhUd IMB by K«w York Tisica Coavaay aad St. losia "Poßt-Dwpaiek.") (i! an an raasa sasocasno*—at tucmt Tmnaui-oorwsemr.j BAY OF WHALES, Febrnary 12. The weather contiauas execrable. We are still beating up and down in a stiff nor'-east«r waiting for the atom to paaa. The barometer la going up, but sometimes that doesn't mean muck down here. This is our seventh day of unrest, and It does not appear that we shall get back Into the bay ice for some time. The City of New York is practically unloaded. One mora day will finish the work. Our position is complicated by the fact that this long and sauna! ape 11 «f wind from the east and north baa brought down a lot of heavy pack-iee from aa unknown region above us, and so that we should not be eaught between it and the bay ice gad be sqneesed, we have had to thread our way throagh large iloee and get entirely ewtside the bay into the opes earn. The eoaditioaa must be vary obusual, for Captain Amundsen's Fram only pat to aea twiea during her stay here, where> aa we have almost lost track of the number of times we have left the bay lee to avoid being crashed against it by the sea.
