NEWS OF WILKINS
AFTER LONG ANTARCTIC SILENCE
NO EXPLANATION GIVEN NEW YORK, Tuesday. A copyright message from Deception Island, dated today, says: The captain of one of tile whaling vessels being used in the effort to get into contact with Sir Hubert Wilkins has wirelessed to the effect that a message from the explorer’s ship, William Scoresby, was heard at 2 p.m. The message from the William Scoresby did not indicate the cause of the explorer’s long silence, which remains a matter of mere conjecture. A dispatch -from Buenos Ayres says reports have reached there stating: that the whalers found Sir Hubert near Deception Island. Wireless, stations in the vicinity of Buenos Ayres are making continued efforts to establish communication with the explorer in order to verify the report. A further message from Buenos Ayres says that the Trans-Radio Company announced that a message from the whaler Ernesto Tonquist, stationed near South Georgia Island, reported unsuccessful efforts to call the Wilkins party at Deception Island, and had no news from the explorer for 15 days.
