ELLSWORTH DROPS| PLANS FOR YEAR' Defeated by Weather in At- tempting Trans-Antarctic Flight. BY LINCOLN ELLSWORTH, Zeader. Ellsworth Trans-Antarctic Flight Expedition. By Wireless to The Star. ! SNOW HILL ISLAND, Weddell Sea, Antarctica, January 10 (N. A. N. A). ~—Frankly, I feel bitterly disappointed at being unable to accomplish thel transantarctic flight this year. Onmly. the weather is to blame. We did our best and that is some satisfaction, for I am a believer in the old axiom that it is better to have tried lnd failed than never to try at all. There are some men who are born to champion the lost causes and I am one, perhaps, ‘for I shall not give up. But for this year the time has| passed for a transantarctic flight, so we shall put the Polar Star on bonrd“ the Wynt.t Earp as soon as weather | permits. Varlolu Accomplishments. Still, the effort has not been in| vain, for we had our flight over the unknown, many features have been | added to the maps and, besides, we | bring back a valuable collection of‘ fossils ‘from regions thought to pos- ' sess opnly snow and ice. But of even more value, perhaps, | will be the memory of the great, si- ) lent, purple-tinted, icebound world over which we flew, where, in touch | with the vastness of the unknown, it is not difficult to sense the magnitude of the universe and the nearness of | its Creator. ! ‘Then, too, there are the lessons garnered cheaply for the price paid, for nowhere else does one learn the value of friendship as in these deso- late wastes. Perhaps it is because of this that men come back to them again and again. Lesson of Patience. ‘Then, last but not least, is the les- son of patience, not the pm.iencel born of hours only, but that of days, | weeks and even years. I am forcibly impressed regarding this as I gaze! down upon Nordenskiold's little hut | below the cliffs during my fossil excursions around Snow Hill Island, for I have some conception of what it must mean to be locked up in these regions for two Winters with; temperatures often below minus 60 and recorded winds with a velocity | of 90 miles an hour. Even after suffering these, Nordenskiold had to make a mad rush for the rescue ship before the ice closed upon him for a third season. His own ship was crushed by the ice. Perhaps I should be satisfied, for I have experienced great adventure during my life—yet: “Who has known heights and depths Shell not again Know peace— Not as the calm heart Knows Low ivied walls; a garden close, ‘The old enchantment of a rose, And though he tread the humble ‘Ways of men, He shall not A‘peak the common tongue again Who has tmdden stars seeks Peace no more.” (Oopyright. 1935.
