Admiral Byrd continues to recover slowly, taking daily walks, but for no great distance. With the temperature about 75deg below zero the party at the Bolling advance base has not yet seen the sun, which has been visible here over the lloss Sea for fivq days. On instructions from Admiral Byrd the aeroplane has been. made ready to fly to his shack to bring a new group of weather observers and evacuate Admiral Byrd. When the flight will be made depends on the weather. Tho camp here is suffering a mysterious epidemic of colds, which is unusual in this supposedly germless country. One or two are ill enough, however, to go to bed, but they are recovering. .
