ELLSWORTH EXPEDITION
WYATT EARP IN ICE PACK SUITABLE WEATHER AWAITED (Received November 5, 6.25 p.m.) MONTREAL. Nov. 4 A copyright message to the North American News Association from a correspondent on board the Wyatt Earp, the Lincoln Ellsworth expedition's vessel, says: "Once more we are nestled in the familiar Antarctic ice pack, sheltered by Snow Island from a heavy westerly swell in which we wallowed for three days. "The northern end of Bransfield Strait appears to be blocked by ice. However, the wind is slackening and the ice is expected to clear soon, leaving us a free eastward passage. It is a comparatively early Antarctic summer season, and at this latitude there are still four hours of darkness nightly, but the sun is rapidly rising higher. "As soon as there is continuous daylight we will begin to look for favourable weather for the start of the flight across the Antarctic."
