ALONE ON THE ICE
Byrd Now Isolated WORK AT LITTLE AMERICA (By Telegraph-Press Assn.—Copyright.) Beceived 3, 10.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, April 1. A message from Little America states that Admiral Byrd reported this morning by radio from the advance base that the tractor party left him yesterday en route for Little America, and the isolation of the world’s southernmost weather observatory is now complete. He reported the temperature at 60 degrees below zero. The tractor party is expected at Little America to-day. The main southern party under Captain Taylor is also en route for Little America. The chief activities of the expedition party at Little America are being directed to making the place secure for the winter night. Tunnels are being dug between the various buildings, the buried stores of the last expedition being excavated. Admiral Byrd left specific instructions covering the preparations to be made during the winter night for the major exploratory and scientific journeys next spring. The party is being governed by a system of republic during Admiral Byrd’s absence.
