TO REMAIN IN LYTTELTON. RESIGNATION OF CAPTAIN ENGLAND. Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH. March '). It is improbable' that the Nimrod will be despatched on magnetic survey work, as originally intended, nor will she visit Sydney and Melbourne, as was expected. It is practically certain that she will remain in Lyttelton until she leaves for the Antarctic regions to pick up the shore party in December next. Seen by a “Press” reporter this afternoon, Captain England made the following statement:—“You may announce my resignation as commander of the Nimrod on the grounds of illhealth. 1 shall remain in charge until the ship is passed‘over to tbo agents here. My future movements aro very uncertain, hut I shall probably remain here for a considerable time.”
