ANTARCTIC EXPLORERS.
WILD IN LONDON. RESULTS OF EXPEDITION. Australian and X.7. Cable Association. (Received November 13, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, November 12. Frank Wild, who, with his party of the Shackleton Expedition, was marooned on Elephant Island, and who has just reached England, in an interview stated that during the Endurance's voyage, new land was discovered east of the Wcddell Sea, near Coats Land. "Later, during our drift in the ice, we disproved the existence of the New South Greenland and Morrel Land. These were probably large bergs, for we drifted right over them, and there found 200 to 2000 fathoms of water." Films of the Shackleton expedition have arrived at Liverpool.
