DOG-SLEDS MOVE SOUTH
BYRD’S MEN COMMENCE LONG TREK By RUSSELL OWEN Copyrighted, 1928, by the "New York Times” company and the St. Louis “PostDispatch.” All rights for publication reserved throughout the world. Wireless to the “New York Times.” BAY OF WHALES, Thursday. A line of dog sledges moved across the first slope of the Barrier, south of the Bay of Whales, yesterday afternoon, as the supporting sledging party started on the long trip southward. The drivers, on skis, trotted alongside their teams, holding their gee-poles and calling to their dogs. Their shouts grew fainter and were lost in the immensity of space about to swallow them in the uncharted and desolate wilderness against which they are pitting their strength and courage. Left behind were two sledges and a few men, among them Commander Byrd, who came out several miles for the purpose of seeing his men on their journey.
