ELEANOR BOLLING BACK IN DUNEDIN.
HEAVY WEATHER MET DURING THE TOW SOUTH. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, December 20. Having completed the furthest south tow ever made, the Eleanor Bolling, the Byrd Expedition steamer, arrived this morning. While towing the base ship, the City of New York, she had heavy weather, the tow line breaking twice. The master reports that the ice pack Is the thickest for thirteen summers. The Eleanor Bolling has been docked for fitting a new propellor. The vessel suffered no damage in the ice-floes, but several plates were dented through bumping the City of New York during coaling. It is not expected that the latter vessel can reach open water this month. The C. A. Larsen is not to tow her, but will go ahead to open the way for the barque. Progress will be slow, the C. A. Larsen reporting having taken seven days to go through 28 miles of ice.
