CLEAR SEA AND BROKEN ICE
(Beceived 19th December, 1.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Sir Douglas Mawson reports that after leaving Macqusmc Island soundings were taken in the vicinity of the Bishop Clerk islets, which, rising from the Mncquarrio submarine shelf, constitute a danger to shipping. The Discovery was storm-tossed for several days, rendering the search elusive. Emerald Island was impracticable, and tho slflp at last emerged from mists into clear sea, flocked with broken ice. She is in wireless touch with the whaler Sir James Clark Ross, which has coal for the Discovery, whoso personnel are all well despite temperatures generally below freezing point.
