ELLSWORTH EXPEDITION
VESSEL IN ICE PACK. START OF. FLIGHT AWAITED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright). MONTREAL, Nov. 4. A North American Newspaper Association message from aboard the Wyatt Earp states the Ellsworth expedition’s vessel is ' once more nestled in the familiar Antarctic ice pack, sheltered by Snow Island from the heavy westerly swell in which the vessel had wallowed for three days. The northern end of Bransfield Strait appears to- be- Mocked by ice. However, the wind is slackening and the ice is expected to clear soon and leave a free eastward passage. It is but comparatively early in the Antarctic summer season and at this latitude there are still four hours of darkness a night, but the sun is rapidly rising higher and as. soon as there is continuous daylight we will begin to look for early favourable weather for the start of the trans-Antarctic flight.
