STORMY TRIP.
Byrd Expedition Ship Reaches Dunedin. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, This Day. The Bear of Oakland reached Dunedin at 9 o’clock this morning after a stormy trip from Little America, bringei of the remaining ice party. Ihe commander, Lieutenant English, IS . F r ? uc * °f his ship, which has been criticised in some quarters, having travelled 20,000 miles since leaving New i ork. Owing to the cutter having to carry out the major work of evacuating Little America, the weather being so bad that in eleven days the Jacob Ruppert was able to moor at the barrier for only fourteen hours to take the aeroplanes aboard, the project to explore the coast between King Edward Land and the Bellingshausen Sea had to be abandoned. The ship will now sail direct on the Great Circle course for Panama in about ten days’ time. Of the three New Zealanders, Dr Potaka, Bernard Fleming and Robert Young, who spent the winter on the ice, only Young is continuing the voyage to the United States.
