WILKINS EXPEDITION. PLANES FOUND INTACT. (Copyright.) (Received 3 p.m.) LONDON, November 14
Sir Hubert Wilkins, in a message sent from Deception Island by radio today states: “One lone iceberg greeted us as we arrived through four snow-squalls at our Antarctic base this evening, ‘,Our two Lockhead planes, Los Angeles and San Francisco, were awaiting us in their winter clothing, having outridden storms, sleet, winds and 50 degrees below zero. They are apparently as secure and fit as when we left them eight months ago. “After a fine trip from Monte Video we approached Deception Island with caution through heavy seas. After riding out a storm we entered the bay only just in time, because two hours after nightfall ice blocked the entrance we had traversed. The men are now mooring the ship in semidryness.” '
