THE SOUTH POLE.
HELP FROM AUSTRALASIA.
(By Telegraph — Press Association.) CHRISTOHUROH, Last Night,
Lieut. Shackleton is delighted with the news that the Government has given £1000 towards the Ninirod expedition. He asks that the following message be conveyed to New Zealand: "Say I find great difficulty in expressing my feelings. lam deeply impressed with the practical sympathy which your Dominion has shown in the expedition. We are lifted from bedrock to a position in which our finances are sound and satisfactory. It is not so much the monetary gift which delights me as the manner in which the sympathy has been expressed. I feel that the Dominions oversea have given a lesson to the Old Country, where the apathy displayed was in marked contrast to the practical interest shown by New Zealand and Australia."
