THE NIMROD.
MAY ARRIVE ANY DAY
Per Press Association
Christchurch, March 13. Mr J. J. Kinsey, New Zealand representative of the British Antarctic Expedition! states that the Nimrod with Lieut. Shackleton and members of the exploring party may return to New Zealand at any time now, although she is not actually due until the last week of this month. Members of the “farthest south” party will probably return ;to their winter quarters at Cape Royds in Maomurdo Sound in time to depart in the Nimrod not later than February 15th. The scheme adopted was that the Nimrod, after taking the explorers- on board and getting out of ihe pack ice, should undertake scientific investigation in the Southern Seas. If the conditions for work of that nature are not favourable it will be abandoned and in that case the vessel will probably come to its headquarters in New Zealand without delay. Lieutenant Shackleton has thirteen men with him in the Antarctic.
