FLYERS SAFE ABOARD DISCOVERY II

By Telegraph Press Assn.—Op.vrritht

(Received January 19, 6.30 p.m.) New York, January IS. Messrs. Lincoln Ellsworth and H. Hollick-Kenyon, who were found alive and well at Little America by the research ship Discovery 11, have now been taken aboard the ship. In a copyright message to the North American Newspaper Alliance, transmitted from the Discovery II by radio, Mr. Ellsworth states: “At last the trans-Antarctic flight has been accomplished, but not without some difficulty. We were forced to land four times on the way, and once were held up seven days, for three days of which a blizzard raged. On previous landings we were delayed for two days owing to bad visibility and snowstorms. Finally our fuel became exhausted and we were forced to land about 25 miles from Little America. After four days of futile efforts to communicate with the outside world we proceeded by sledge to Little America, where we found the radio shack in first-class condition and there we lived comfortably until yesterday, when the roar of an aeroplane let us know our lonely wait was over.”
