(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 4th September.
Sir Ernest Shackleton, in a despatch to the Daily Chronicle, dated from Punta Arenas, 3rd September, says : — " My fourth attempt to rescue my comrades from Elephant Island' succeeded, and all have arrived safe and well. On this occasion I set a course ..which enabled the Yelch'o to approach ' the island . from the north-west, tlie ice having worked towards north-east. We reached Wild's camp on 30th August, after steering in the fog through numerous stranded icebergs, and immediately after started on our return journey. With Wild lies the credit for having kept the party together in strength and .afety under most trying and difficult conditions," says Shackleton. " I cannot speak too highly of Crean and Worsley, who have' seen things through with me."
