MR BROPHY’S RESIGNATION. . COMMANDER’S TRIBUTE. DUNEDIN, Tuesday. Commander Richard Byrd authorised Mr Richard.

At that time I wall accept his resignation from the expedition. Tlfe fact that we are so well equipped in the Antarctic; is ;dne •largely to the energy, efficiency and loyalty of Mr Brophy as business manpager .during the long and trying period of preparation in New York.” Commenting the message, Mr Brophy said he greatly appreciated the 'opportunity of taking a holiday, and that' ho intended to tour New Zealand by motor car. He would probably visit Australia, and. return to New Zealand. The City of Now York has boon delayed by bad weather on the passage from the ice barrier.
