Mr. Douglas Freshfield, presiding at. a meeting of the Geographical Society, said that the searoh ior Shackleton must bo Undertaken,: despit-o the pre-occupations cf the war. Honour demands that ship, men, and money must be found. If, as ha hoped, Sir Ernest. Shackleton succeeded in his bold' march, prolonged detention would be inevitable. Happily, there were no considerable difficulties m sending a ship from New' Zealand. He hoped the Aurora; would not be badly,, damaged, preventing/repair, for this pur".pose. "We ..may rely,'on Australia's and ■New Zealand's gallantry, and' scientific interest to lend what help is necessary in that sector, but.-a graver problem is that nothing has been heard of the Endurance since : the news from' South Georgia in December, 1914. The Weddell Sea is one ;of. the most treacherous of -landmarks. The search must be undertaken."
