UNIVERSAL REGRET IN LONDON.
POSITION WORSE THAN EVER. ANOTHER ATTEMPT MUST BE MADE. •Received S-4 5 p.m., June 27. LONDON June 27. The “Daily Chronicle” says Sir E. Shackleton’s message evoked universal regret. It makes the position of the marooned party most serious. Another attempt must be made. Apparently there is no suitable vessel in South American waters. The question Is: How long is required to find, equip, and despatch a ship? Prank Houlder cabled to South Africa hoping to find a suitable Dundee whaler at the Cape whaling station. The Aurora is entirely suitable, if it is possible to repair and send her from New Zealand in time. Even if ice issurrounding the island, a strong gale might at any moment disperse it, leaving free access. THE RELIEF OP MACINTOSH’S PARTY. DUNEDIN, June 27. The Aurora is to go into Port Chalmers’ dock to-morrow. It has been definitely settled that Capt. Stenhouso shall have charge of the party for the relief of Macintosh and Iris men.
