BYRD AT SEA
CITY OF NEW YORK MOVES NORTH „ LOSS OF CHINOOK CITY OF NEW YORK, Friday. It is now Sunday, because we omitted Saturday on crossing the 180th degree of longitude. The City of New York is now 264 miles north-west of Discovery Inlet. We brought back every living dog, from old veterans to the smallest puppies born in Antarctica. They played a key role, although aviation was the outstanding success of the expedition. One of our best dogs, Chinook, went off into the white wildnerness on his 12th birthday and never returned. NEW ZEALAND’S MESSAGE A message from Wellington states that the Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, has forwarded to Rear-Admiral Byrd the following message on behalf of the Government and the people of New Zealand:-—“I wish to express our real pleasure at the safe departure from the Antarctic of yourself and the members of your expedition, and our keen anticipation of receiving you again in the Dominion.”
