ANTARCTIC TOUR
NOVEL SCHEME NOW UNDER WAY LINER TO BE EQUIPPED Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Monday. A romantic scheme for holidaymaking in, the Antarctic has been devised by Captain J. R. Stenhouse, the commander of Shackleton’s Aurora and the Royal research ship Discovery. He intends to equip a 17,000-ton transatlantic liner to carry British and American passengers to the Antarctic. He proposes to sail from Southampton on December 10 on a four and a-half months’ cruise to the Southern limit of navigation. Passengers will be able to join two dashes on dog sleighs on the Antarctic continent. The cruise is expected to appeal to women as the Antarctic continent is the only remaining part of the earth on which they have not set foot. It is also proposed to visit Rear-Admiral Byrd's base, the winter huts used by Scott and Shackleton, and Amundsen’s base in the Bay of Whales.
