STORM HAS BROKEN

CLEAR WEATHER COMING.

BRYD EXPEDITION.

(Copyright —Byrd Expedition.) BAY OF WHAMS, Feb. 13. The storm appears to have broken and tii© wind is shifting to the southeast. Although the sky is again overcast there is a long line of pale green on the southern horizon, which indicates that clear weather is coming- _ . . ,Elver since, we put to sea we have been cruising back and forth outside t ( he ice capes in a narrow lane or water, Between two enormous packs of heavy does. Fortunately the currents around the capes kept the space clear, despite the wind. If Byrd ill ad not 'ordered the New York seaward the moment this pack began to appear it would have crushed us like matchwood. Where we formerly lay there is a berg a mile tek\rr and 40 feet high, which, would have crushed' a battleship. About 10 o’clock at night the light has been perceptibly growing fainter because of the overshadowing clouds. One can feel that winter is coming, although as yet the temperatures are fairly high, it Being 27 degrees at 6 o’clock this morning.
