LITTLE AMERICA
THE ICE CONDITIONS NO IMMEDIATE DANGER. NEW YORK, March 12. (Received March 13, at 6.5 p.m.) In response to queries regarding ice conditions at Little America, about which unusual concern has been felt, Admiral Byrd to-day sent the following message to his New York representative; “It is true the barrier on which Little America rests is cracked all around, but the swell in the Bay of Whales has subsided, and the movement of the piece of ice we are on is very slight. A series of storms has taken new ice out of the Bay of Whales, but we hope it will freeze again soon. That will make us secure. If the ice we are on breaks we shall go to the retreat camp, where we have enough food to last us. There is no immediate cause for alarm because we are alert and shall move quickly if necessary.”
