THE AURORA
A LUCKY VESSEL
TO MAKE POET WHILE LEAK-
ING SO BADLY
Mariners in Dunedin generally agree that the Aurora was fortunate in making port in her distressed condition. Her hull is strained, and the vessel was making seven feet or
stant use of the pumps. She will bo docked in a day or two. Her mizzen. topmast was taken down <a few days ago to make a temporary rudder. The member of the crew who injured his knee through being thrown from the wheel was brought to tho Dunedm Hospital for treatment. AVith respect to ;the men left behind, with Captain' Macintosh, Lieutenant Stenhouse's main idea is to get a relief expedition organised and on the way to rescue them as soon as possible. Lieutenant Stenhouse has greax faith in Sir Ernest Shackletoir's | ability to accomplish the transcon- i tinental journey in crossing from the j Weddell to the Ross Sea. Shackle- i ton will endeavor to trace the supposed connection between the Andes range and the high altitudes in the region of the South Pole. He also will endeavor to locate the inland st\vi that is spoken of, but about which littl-3 definite is known.
