BYRD'S VOYAGE BACK
VESSEL NEARER DUNEDUM
PARTY VERY SEASICK
(By Russell Owen —Special to "New ■ York Times.") CITY OF NEW YORK (at sea), 6th March. Five days of strong favourable winds have brought us within 570 miles of Dunedin at noon, to-day. -This was better luck than anybody had a right to expect, but most of us paid dearly for it. Ninety per cent, of us were dreadfully seasick. Men who had never been sick before, men who had spent years at sea, have felt the effects ever since we left the Barrier, and we are wondering if the fact can not be traced to tho unusual conditions in which we have lived for more than a year. Some have advanced the theory that the nnnsual diet is responsible, and that the absonco of automobile and street ears has made us more subject to the effects of artificial motion.
