THE TERRA NOVA'S STORY.

WORK OF SCIENTIFIC PARTIES

The Terra Nova left Lyttelton on December 15th, with mules and^dogs and a further year's supplies. Exceptionally fine weather was experienced all theway.» [foundings were taken from New Zealand to the Antarctic. Many icebergs were met in latitude 61.0 south. Loose pack ice was mot in 64.0 south. The party finally left the pack early h\ January after passing through it for 130 miles. The dogs were exercised "daily'" on largo floes at Robertson's Bay which was completely filled with pack ico and icebergs. , ? Icebergs and swift tida) streams made the relief of the Campbell -party (henceforth called the northern party) extremely difficult, the ship being only able to approach the beach at Cape Adare for two hours. The northern party embarked on the 4th, and were landed at Terra Nova Bay, on the North Drygalski Barrier, on the Bth. They .proposed to work duo north thence eastward, with the object of examining the north eastern extremity of the inland plateau, both geographically and geologically.
