NO NEED FOR ALARM.
FOR MAWSON PARTY. Sydney, Thursday,
Proesaor David says that no apprehension need be felt for the members of Dr Mawaon's party while wintering in Adelie Land, as they have an excellent hut, and polar expeditions of this kind always have a year's more food than they are likely to require in to provide for contingencies. The professor says the word "probably" in the message he received implies that there is still a good chance of the Aurora being able to bring the Mawson party off on the return voyage from Wilde's base. In any case the return of the Aurora to Australia will probably be a little later than was anticipated, as she may be delayed in attempting to reach land again at Mawson's winter quarters. The professor adds that it has not be°n possible to obtain any news of Wild's party. He says Wild is a very able leader, and was Shackleton's right hand man during his dash f or the Pole. Wild's party now totals eight Mawson's party, including Ninnis and Hertz, numbered, eighteen, and five other men remained on Macquarie.
