IN QUEEN MAUDE RANGE? 1 ' WEATHER PROSPECTS NOT GOOD. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) BAY OF WALES, December 17. Gould radioed from Queen .Maude Mountains:—“lt is still snowing and there is no prospect of an immediate change in the weather. The sledges are nearly buried in snow, and the dogs are living in holes, our tents are half covered. Everything is wet and snowy lor it is warm and there is much melting. We hope your roofs do not break like our tents. It is not forty below zero hut this kind of weather makes sledging hard work. We left our few books at the camp. We have one deck of cards and play hearts and bridge for chocolates as a pasttime. There are mountains on three sides of us but we can see nothing. Everyone is in high spirits in spite of the weather.”
