MAWSON STRIKES GALE
DRIVEN WESTWARD AGAIN
(Received 30th January, 1 p.m.)
CANBERRA, This Day.
A copyright wireless message from Sir Douglas Mawson says: "On 19th January the wind increased to a high gale before which we were driven far to the west. The 20th and 21st January were anxious days. We hove-to in an easterly gafe, tho seas now moderating. On 23rd we discovered that we had been driven 150 miles west-south-west. In latitude 66 degrees 22min and longitudo 48 deg. 30min East, we passed the tip of a mighty shelf of ice tongue with cliffs upward of 200 feet high, extending south-east to join the land which receded to the horizon limit. We are now continuing east along the coast."
