SACK OF MAIL
CHEERISIG HEWS FROM HOME “Any word from home?” After greetings had been exchanged that was the first question of the members of the crew of the City of New York who came up to Dunedin this morning. , They were handed a sack of mail, to be opened by their captain. Judging by the amount of correspondence Hie most popular man af tho
expedition was Paul A. Siple, the Roy Scout. ' Second in popularity was Cap-' tain Frederick C. Melville, who lor thirty-one years has sailed the seven seas in all manner of craft. “ Ukulele” Dick Konter was a close runner-up, and it looks as if he will have to pack his instrument away while he, answers Ids mail. He is the proud possessor of the only ukulele that has ever been over the North Pole. When Byrd was preparing to leave King’s Bay on his famous flight all unnecessary weight, was .discarded, ■ and' he found his plane loaded with mementoes from his boys. However,- lie overlooked the ukulele placed in the cabin by Konter.
