ANTARCTIC PROBLEMS
ELLSWORTH'S NEXT VENTURE: SELECTION OF AVIATOR [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT] VANCOUVER. May 22 Sir Hubert Wilkims has selected a well-known Canadian Arctic airman. Captain H. Hollick-Kenyon, for Mr. Lincoln. Ellsworth's third attempt to solve two major puzzles about Antarctica; is it a single land mass, or two high islafnds; and do the high plateaux of Graham Land, on the Weddell Sea side—considered to be a continuation of the Andes—connect with the mountain system of Victoria Land, on the Ross Sea side, to form the backbone of the continent? Captain Hollick-Kenyon has had 6100 hours in the air. He received a commission in the Canadian Air Force toward the end of the war, having transferred from the infantry. He has taken part in some of the most notable flights and rescues in the Canadian Arctic.
