IN THE ANTARCTIC
There was a good attendance at the meebng of the New Zealand Antarctic Society last evening when Mr. B. R O'Brien, who, as radio artist, went south with Admiral Byrd, gave some sidelights on the life of a modern expedition. The personal, humorous, and piquant aspect was illustrated, and interesting photographs were shown. Such incidents as the finding of the three stowawaysA the frustrated attempts of the cameraman to film the birth of "the first calf to be born on Antarctic seas," and the first re-entry into the abandoned "Little • America" were told from first-hand observation. The dangers of such a venture were not glossed over, and the courage and hardiness of the expedition's leaders and personnel was made evident. After some questions had been answered the lecturer was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks.
