Japs. from Antarctica.
The Japanese Antartie exploring ship Kainau Maru which returned to Wellington on Saturday, the furthest south attained being 80deg. smin., left Sydney on November 19 last, and had only been away 124 days. According to Lieutenant Shirase’s report the vessel left the ice barrier finally for Wellington on February 4, so that tbe trip northward occupied 47 days. If the trip southward from Sydney occupied the same time, the expedition could have spent only 30 days in Antarotioa, The Jups are very reticent, uud will say very little at present, but they neither saw nor heard anything of Captain Soott.
