BREAKING THE SHIP OUT OF THE ICE.—This is a close view of sawyers at work freeing the ship from the grip of the ice beforereturning to New Zealand. It is taken looking down from the ship's deck. After the ice is sawn through by gangs of men, long poles are used to break it up. It is a long and difficult job performed in intense cold. The blinding whiteness affects the men's eyes. But the 8000-ton ship cannot move until the Antarctic grip is freed.
