T [ iy SHACKEL- a member of the Royal Naval Reserve '‘and an officer of the British exploration vessel, Discovery, which now lies tightly bound in the icepack of the Antarctic circle, arrived here yesterday from the southern seas on the steamer Ventura.

It was these hardships, which Lieuten- ant Shackelton = modestly refers to as merely the natural incidents of a trip of the character undertaken, that were responsible for his returning home before the mission of the Discovery party had completed. During a hazardous journey to a point never before reached by explorers he was attacked with hem- New Zealand announced the fact that the reliet boat The Morning, sent out by the British Goveérnment to hunt for the Discovery, had found the latter in winter quarters in McMurdo Bay. The dispatch stated that one seeman, Vance by name, had died from the effects of the severe winter and that all on board, with the exception of Lieutenant Shackelton, were well and eagerly looking forward to the time when the ice would relinquish the Discovery from its firm grasp and permit the navigators to continue on their tour of investigation. Further than this the world has been in ignorance of the pro- gress made by the explorers except that they had succeeded in traveling south to a new territory yet unvisited by men from the civilized world. Naturally British scientists, and for that matter those of other countries, have since been waiting with much ex- pectation for later and fuller reports from the Discovery. In this pleasant an- ticipation they will no doubt look to Lieutenant Shackelton for their realiza- tion, but it will be some time before the latter will be able to gratify them, for he is bound by a sense of duty to main- tain silence ungll the facts which he is bringing home are given over to those who were responsible for the expedition.

FOSTERED BY THE KING. The expedition to the Antarctic is a project of the Royal Geographical Asso- clation, but is fostered by King Edward, who showed his approval of the under- taking by personally visiting the Dis- covery on the eve of her departure and addressing her little band of explorers. The ship's officers, of which Lieutenant Shackelton was one, were chosen from the Royal Naval Reserve. The Discovery took her departure from Cowes on Au- gust 6, 1901, arriving at Christchurch, New Zealand, on December 22 of the same year.
