No Supplies For Endeavour
A special request from New Zealand’s polar ship, the H.M.N.Z.S. Endeavour for lemons has not been met because of a shortage of the fruit in the Dominion. The Endeaypur is operating in Ross Sea waters and is not due to return to New Zealand from Antarctica until March 5, “These wretched chaps need lemons for health reasons in the Antarctic regions and we have not been able to send them any,” the resident naval officer in Christchurch (Lieutenant-Com-mander J. Pallot) said yesterday. Commander Pallot said that the ship had also requested some apples but supplies of these had not been obtained.
Even so, when the Ufiited States Navy icebreaker Glacier left Lyttelton yesterday for the Ross Sea it carried almost two tons of supplies for the Endeavour—most of it food, fresh and frozen provisions, and mail.
