SHACKLETON EXPEDITION
URGENT NEED FOR RELIEF MEASURES. LONDON, 6th May. The Daily Chronicle says': "Sinca there is no news of the Endurance, steps must be' taken without delay to organise relief of the expeditions both in the Ross and Weddell Seae: It will be difficult to find a suitable ship, as probably there are not half a dozen in the world, and all will need considerable refitting. if the enterprise is commenced at once, it •will take three months to complete the arrangements. , The lives of forty men are in peril, and the national credit will suffer if, -while erecting memorials to the heroic dead, we- lag^ in our duty tovrffitds the heroic living."
