Wireless/ to New York Times.) The Expedition is amid a bad snow storm, It is with much difficulty that the ship was prevented from being blown away from the icefield, to which it is secured with anchors. The men ashore are safe and snug in tents, but it is 'feared that the walls of: the house, which are only half erected, will bo blown down during tho storm. Visibility is almost nothing. At four o’clock this morning, when; the storm approached, the dog teams were unharnessed and everybody was told to take a much-needed rest till the storm was over. So they are in tents inside their reindeer sleeping bags. A temporary kitchen lias been set up consisting of canvas and food boxes. The Eleanor Bolling’s departure from Now Zealand has been delayed at least two days. Bropliy in charge of the expedition, truly has reason to be thankful If or tin),' excellent equipment he secured.
