NEED FOR RELIEF.
TRYING TO OBTAIN SUITABLE SHIPS. (Received June 27, 8.50 p.m.) LONDON, June 27. The “Daily Chronicle” says:—“Sir Ernest Shackleton’s message lias evoked universal regret. It makes the position of the marooned party most serious. Another attempt must be made, but apparently there is no suitable vossel in South American waters. The question is how long will be required to find, equip and despatch a ship. Mr Frank Houlder has cabled to South Africa hoping to find a suitable Dundee whaler at the Capo whaling station. Tho Aurora s is entirely suitable if it is possible to repair and send her from Now Zealand in timo. Even if tho ice surrounding Elephant Island is strong a gale at any moment might disperse it, leaving free access.
