Ellsworth to Fly to Little America. (Special to the "Star.”) DUNEDIN, This Day. D VICE has been received to the effect that Lincoln Ellsworth’s plane carried out a successful test flight about ten days ago and the leader was waiting for fine weather before making a flight to Little America.
“ I know really nothing about horticulture or flowers, but I am an expert turfcutter. like so many other people, on the golf links,” said Rear-Admiral F.
