EXPLORER TELLS OF HORROR TRIP Shackleton Describes Terrible Ex- periences After Leaving Endurance Foght. FIGHTING THROUGH BLIZZARDS 2 London, June 2—A long dispatch from Lieutenant Sir Ernest Shackle- ton, who has arrived at Port Stanley, Falkland islands, describes the mis- fortunes which overtook his Antarctic expedition. His ship Endurance was struck by an iceberg in the Weddel sea Nov. 4, and was abandoned on October 20. Shackelton and his crew reached Elephant island on October 24 on boats after a series of privations and sufferings in the drift ice, several of the party being then on the verge of physical collapse. wing to the seriousness of the food situation and the impossibility of finding any very satisfactory camp- ing place on the bleak space Shackle- ton decided to make an effort to reach South Georgia, 760 miles dis- tant, leaving the main party on Ele- phant island in charge of Frank Wild, the second in command | Leaves With Five. Lieutenant Shackleton left on April 24 with five volunteers, Then en- sued a fortnight of terrible struggles against blizzards and other difficul- ties, but finally the west coast of South Georgia was sighted. After a mighty effort lasting two_days, they succeeded in beaching their boat, and four days later arrived safely at the head of King Haakon bay. On May 19 they started to cross the island, | reaching the Stromness whaling sta- | tion on May 20. There they obtained an 80-ton Norwegian whaler for an attempt to relieve the men left be- hind. The whaler started south with a volunteer crew on May 26, but they found the ice too formidable for an unprotected boat and after several attempts reluctantly decided to turn orth for assistance to the Falk- ands. The party on the beach at hant island ~were all well when Ehukelmn left on April 24, They ad five weeks' provisions, with the Ele- ossibility of reinforcing these by the Eaptun- of seals. Work of the Expedition, The work of the expedition to date, gays Licutenant Shackleton, includes the discovery of 200 miles of new coast line, a complete hydrological survey of the Weddell sea, the elimi- cation of South Greenland from the map, continuous magnetic and me- teorogical observations, important bi- ological observations, cinema records to October 30 and photographic rec- ords up to date. As ?ar as is known not a single man of the expedition lost his life, but the anxiety will not be at an end until all the men now marooned in the south polar regions have been ac- counted for. Lieutenant Shackleton’s story. is a narrative of conquest by gheer courage and endurance of dif- ficulties as nearly insurmountable as ever a similar expedition encoun- tered. Almost from the first after starting jrom South Georgia in December, 1914, Shackleton’s ship, the Endur- ance, experienced unfavorable condi- tions. Forges Through Floes. Within a month the little ship was forging its way through ice floes. A pew land, with a coast line of about miles and great glaciers discharg- ing into the sea was discovered during this period. Future maps will show this latest addition to British territory +—named Caird Coast—but will con- tain no mention of New South Green- Jand, which Shackleton proved to be a myth. Shackleton’s soundings in the region heretofore charted on the maps of New South Greenland are declared to have shown 1901 fathoms of water. Satisfaction over this achievement was soon afterwards overshadowed by a foreboding that the approaching season was likely to be an abnormal one. A “great migration of thousands of sals northward” was observed. They were escaping from a doom of which theyshad been forewarned by instinct, The Endurance pushed on, only to meet with worse conditions At length it became wedged in ice floes, while bergs towered above it as though they might at any moment overwhelm the vessel. For weeks on end the Endurance resisted the pres sure, but by August 1t was apparent it must be crushed into a mass of splinters. The party was then forced to make camp on one of the ice floes, End of the Endurance. I'hen came the end of the Endur- ance I'he terrific pressure,” says Shackleton, “terminared in the tea ing out of its stern and rudder posts. The main deck drove upwards, ice cut into the hull, the fires were extin- guished and caught in a trap from which there was no escape, the ves- sel became a hopeless wreek The little party of explorers found themselves strangers in a frozen world of their own. They were the pole inhabitants of the field of ice Their only sustenance was the small supply of provisions taken from En durance Days of Danger a8 . o 4 of { \ v says hackleton s were| r A . done hut these » N passed February , fa - N . s boat = Tty was atene s . ar \ y ar dahips N . w PO - THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY JUNE 3, 1916.
