A STEADY ROUTINE
WORK AT LITTLE AMERICA MONTREAL, June 20. (Received June 21, at 8 p.m.) A radio message from Little America states: " With the dead winter night only three days away the golden horn of a crescent moon has risen over the barrier ridge to the north and the faintest light on the daily rising and setting of the sun has become almost unnoticeable. The lives of the members of the expedition are worked out to a steady routine. All rise at 7.30 in the morning, and after breakfast start various manual and scientific pursuits. There is plenty to be done, from watching the skies for meteors to milking the* cows. The principal concern is now the remodelling of the tractors for exploration work. Wooden cabins are being built, with bunks and cooking facilities for the crews."
