IN HUGE SEAS
THE BEAR OF OAKLAND FORCED TO REDUCE SPEED (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraphy—Copyright.) MONTREAL, March 5. (Received March 5, at 10 p.m.) (From the Byrd Expedition aboard the Bear of Oakland.) Our noou position was 67.15, 178.55. We were forced to reduce speed because of high mountainous seas. The ship is labouring heavily and rolling dangerously to 50 degrees on each side. No mess tables have been set for three days as it has been too rough’. The men were frequently thrown from their bunks, hence all hands arc remaining awake, clustered in groups and hanging to any fittings available to prevent injury.
