Brophy, i second in command and business manI ager of the- Byrd expedition, in reply to a Christchurch reporter’s query as to- how he liked New Zealand. Mr Brophy said that he would probably make his home in Auckland, where he was to spend next summer. He had several business interests in the Dominion. Mr Brophy has gone to Dunedin to meet the Eleanor Bolling, the supply ship of the expedition, where some last minute supplies are to be taken aboard. Included amongst the cargo to be picked up- are another aeroplane, two automobiles, two large crawler tractors similar in type to the war-time tanks, four portable houses, 8000 gallons of aviation spirit, 4000 gallons of kerosene, and a large quantity of food, oil, grease, etc. Questioned regarding future movements, Mr Brophy said that after his business in Dunedin was completed he would spend a fortnight’s holiday—the first he had had in ten years-—on a fishing expedition in the North Island.
