On AI outlay on Tuesday, travelling on the Feirus, a Pont of the trawler type, we will start for home, calling at Falklands to board the Royal .Mail packet, Orduna. Our route will be through Magellan Straits up tin? coast of South America. We should reach New York about the middle of March. The equipment will In' safely stored upon our return, and a lew days’ work will put it in readiness for continuing our programme, which we hope to conclude about December.
