THE NIMROD.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Sydney, March 30. Professor David, speaking to an enthusiastic gathering at the University, paid a High tribute to Lieutenant Shaokleton and Captain Evans, and especially the latter’s fine seamanship, stating that, after Providence, they all owed their lives very largely to the captain of the Nimrod.

LIEUT. SHAOKLETON;S PLANS. Per Press Association. Wellington, March 30., Lieut. Shaokleton he has made no arrangements for another expedition but, if he ever does, it will be from the other side—-from the Falkland Islands and South America. About this side nearly all that is worth knowing is now known. It is the other side that is unexplored. He had no intention at present of lecturing in Australia, but it was not unlikely he would do so at Home. He intended to leave New Zealand on April 15th. During the day Lieut. Shaokleton called on the Premier and thanked him for the assistance rendered by the Government. He informed him that the Dominion stamps presented by the Government were lodged in a cylinder and left at the furthest south point. " Lieut. Shaokleton will deliver a lecture in Wellington on April 14th.
