By W. G. Shepherd. LONDON, July 4—Capt. J. K. Davis, who has just arrived in London from the Antarctic circle, has secured this mes- sage for America, from Dr. Douglas Mawson. It is the latest marvel of the that you may sit ‘ Seattle 1 read a mes t written by a man ina w-bound hr mid eternal during the six months’ night Tall, lanky Capt. Davis, the chief of the steamship Aurora of the Mawson expedition, told me about Dr. Mawson's plight. “He's a prisoner, of course, but he has plenty to eat and he has five good companions. I'm going back next November to rescue him. “1 almost rescued him last February. It was lke this: “In the summer of 1910 I put Dr. Mawson and his party on the Antarctic shore at Com- monwealth Bay, and then I steamed ) miles westward and put another party of six men onto an ice field where they were to make scientific Investigations. “I sailed back to Hobart, with the understanding that in December, 1911, I was to go back for them, “1 did, but when I reached Commonwealth bay I found Dr. Mawson wasn't there. He had gone 200 miles into the inter. for and, as I learned later, had had a terrible experience. One companion fell into a crevasse and was killed, and the other died of cold and hunger. For 22 days he struggled on alone, while I waited for him at Com- monwealth bay “At last he returned, nearly dead. But a terrible wind was blowing from off shore. We got within half a mile of shore and we could see the hut, the wire- less tower and a man waving a flag. But we couldn't reach them “I decided to disobey orders and go for the six men, 1,500 miles away the tce field ‘Dr. Maw and his men stood on t shore and watched us sail away.
