REUNITED AFTER TWO YEARS
ADMIRAL BYRD AND MRS BYRD KEPT IN TOUCH BY WIRELESS (By Telegraph—Press Association* AUCKLAND, This Day. Admiral R. E. Byrd and his wife were reunited in Auckland to-day after a separation of nearly two years. Mrs Byrd arrived by the Mariposa and her husband by train from Wellington. Although separated so long they have been in continual touch by means of wireless. They had a private code which, unlike radiotelephone was secret. When Admiral Byrd was living alone in the hut in the Far South his messages were sent to Little America and relayed from there. Mrs Byrd expressed delight, at being in New Zealand of whose beauty and friendliness her husband had often written. The Admiral and his wife will leave shortly for Dunedin.
