ELLSWORTH EXPEDITION
OPINION OF ADMIRAL BYRD PROBABLY NEAR LITTLE AMERICA. Received Nov. 27, 8.45 p.m. CHICAGO, Nov. 26. In an interview, Admiral R. E. Byrd to day dared thpt. he saw no reason io worry over Mr. Lincoln ElhVvorth's situation. “It seems a reasonable conclusion that Ellsworth either is at or near Little America. Their emergency radio set may have gone out of range. His pilot had a great deal of experience and I cannot visualise any good reason why he' could not pick out a good landing place from a high altitude, even if he was compelled to make a forced landing. If Ellsworth is at or near Little America, he will not want for food because there were hundreds of seals and penguins anywhere he may be along the shore line. I cached ten drums of gasoline at Little America for him. ”
