ON DECEPTION ISLAND
COLD WIND FROM GLACIER EXPEDITION’S WORK NOT HALTED (Rec. November 28, 9.45 p.m.) London, November 28. Sir Hubert Wilkins wirelessed on November 27: A strong south wind, carrying the chill from the glacier ridge on Graham Island, swept over Deception Island to-day, but has not halted the expedition’s work, which proceeds unceasingly from 6 o’clock in the morning till late at night, except ou Sundav. Even here what we call the Dav of Rest does not begin until 8 o’clock. Even so the condition is comparatively luxurious, ensconce-d in heated cabins. The stewards serve good food in abundance, and the drive to work each morning in a little Austin automobile, wondering all the time how earlier Polar explorers spent the long months sledging and existing on meagre rations.
