BYRD BARK STEAMS| THROUGH SLUSH ICE Ship Pushes Toward Dunedin and Home at Steady Clip. BY RUSSELL OWEN, By Radio to_The Star and the New York Times. ABOARD THE BARK CITY OF NEW YORK, Ross Sea, February 21.—For the past 30 hours, since leaving the barrier, the City of New York has been steaming steadily toward New Zealand and home. We have followed the Ross ice bar-| rer as far as Discovery Inlet, umnxl our departure from that point and by noon yesterday had reached a_ position about ‘50 miles northwest of Discovery Inlet During the night the ship passed through an area of slush and new pan- cake ice and probably just got out in time. By morning all this had been passed We now are making _good time, though at present a light head- wind has sprung up which prevents | using sail.

Al rights for publication reserved throughout the world) DUE IN NEW YORK IN JUNE. Byrd and Party Are Expected to Return With Little Difficulty. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, February 21.—Rear | Admiral Richard E. Byrd and members of his party, now en route to Dunedin, New Zealand, from the Antarctic, are expected to reach New York during the first week in June. The explorer's ship, the City of New York, on which he now is starting the 12.000 mile voyage home, left this port August 25, 1928. The trials of the expedition are be- leved to be nearly over and little diffi- culty is expected when the ship, which will be met probably within a week and thereafter accompanied or fol- lowed by the Eleanor Bolling, en- counters the Ross Sea ice pack. now at its Midsummer ebb. The City of New York expects to reach the ice Sunday. ‘The ice pack, about 600 miles wide in the Antarctic Winter, is now be- leved to be less than 100 miles in width, and the City of New York is ex- pected to duplicate its feat on its re- cent trip to the jce Eu‘r’i\er,’_,whhe: it encompassed the pacl urs. ‘The ship will probably reach the pack by Sunday. ‘The Eleanor Bolling, now about 800 miles from the Barrier, is bringing coal for the City of New York, which will be transferred as soon as they meet on the rorthern edge of the pack. The two ships_will then proceed together and the Eleanor Bolling, as she has dene before, may tow her slower sister ship. The average daily speed of the Eleanor Bolling is 200 miles and that of the City of New York 110 miles. Due in Dunedin by March 15. Although the distance from New York to the Barrier is about 9,000 miles, the circuitous route of the two ships, which will be, it is expected, much the same as on the southern trip, will carry them over 12,000 miles. The first stop will be Dunedin, New Zealand, about 2,300 miles from the Bay of Whales. The ships will probably reach Dunedin to- ':"11!? 2‘% to 2: days l‘r'enll‘ tgeo depu(’:ture of the of New, Yorl m ice Socrier. S0 Therth 13 e 1E, § ‘The last southern trip of the City of New York, from Dunedin to the Bar- rier, took from January 5 to February 18, but this length of time was necessi- tated by delay in finding leads through the pack and then a storm blowing the ship far west of her course. At Dunedin three members of the expedition will be met by their wives. Joe De Ganahl, mate of the City of | New York and a resident of Little | America during the whole stay, will be met by his wife, whose home is in Scarsdale. She is already there, as are the wives of Capt. Ashley McKinley of St. Louis, the expedition’s aerial pho- tographer, and of Lloyd Berkner of Washington, D. C., the City of New York radio operator. Berkner's wife joined him in June at Tahiti, whither he had gone following the return of the City of New York from the Byrd base. Itinerary on Home Voyage. The ships will probably stay at Dunedin for a_week or 10 days in order that the City of New York may be overhauled. They will both take on more coal and are e: to leave separately, the Eleanor Bolling several days after the City of New York. If the Oity of New York leaves Dunedin about March 22, as is likely, and takes the same time as she did gx 1928, when she left Tahiti on Novem- |loeai ber 2 and arrived in Dunedin, about 2712 miles distant, on November 285, she should reach Tahiti about April 14. The Eleanor Bolling, unless close to/|s| her, should reach there several days n_advance. The chances are that the two ships will remain in Tahiti for from 24 to 48 hours for coaling and any needed overhauling. The next lap will be from Tahiti to the Panama Canal. This is the longest stretch, being about 4,509 miles. The ships probably will reach the canal, stopping there a short pe- riod for coaling, on or about May 15. The final leg of the voyage to New York, about 2211 miles, will then be made. They probably will arrive to- gether, any time from the 1st to the th of June. It is impossible to estimate exactly how long the northbound trip will take because allowances must be made for shifting winds and unforeseen de- lays. It has not been learned whether any of the expedition’s members will Teturn by other ships. DISCOVER NEW LANDS. Norwegian Flyers Map 115 Miles of | Antarctic Area. OLSO, Norway, February 21 (#)— Wireless message from the Norwegian | exploration ship Norwegia, now in the Antarctic, today said the expedition Monday located new land between | Enderby Land and Coats Land on the northern fringe of Antarctica. The two airmen, Capt. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Capt. Luetzow Holm, made a suecessful flight from the ship | over the hitherto undiscovered territory and mapped about 115 miles The northwestern point of the new | land was said to be situated at 71.26 | degrees south, 11.31 west. On December 28 the Norwegia re- ported to the Oslo newspaper Tidens Tegn that it had discovered the new | land and had taken possession of it in behalf of Norway. The Norwegian discovery ship is on the other side of the South Pole from where the Byrd expedition has been working. | Two men accused of ; THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, GIGANTIC STEEL JOB REACHING FINAL STAGES With two-thirds of the steel skeleton of the Department of Commerce bulld- {ing already compiete, workmen now are erecting the structural framework of the north third, just south of Poli's Theater, and expect to have the last beam in place about March 15.
