BACK FROM McMURDO
Supply Tanker InPort The Chattahoochee returned to Lyttelton from McMurdo Sound yesterday afternoon after completing her first petroleum supply trip this season. She will make two more trips south. She left Lyttelton on December 7, arriving off Hut Point on December 15. Drift ice was sighted in latitude 67 degrees south and the voyage was uneventful. After discharging her petroleum cargo alongside Hut Point the Chattahoochee sailed on December 17. Christmas dinner was celebrated aboard the supply vessel in port last evening. By Monday there will be three more Antarctic vessels in Lyttelton. The Glacier is due from McMurdo Sound this evening and the supply vessels Private John R. Towle, from McMurdo Sound, and Private Joseph F. Merrell, from Hueneme (California), are both expected on Monday. Until the oil berth is vacant, the Chattahoochee will be unable to load for return to McMurdo Sound. Her departure date is uncertain.
