THE ENDURANCE.
LIEUT. STENHOUSE'S OPINION. NO NEED FOR ANXIETY YET. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Yesterday. Lieut. Stenhouse interviewed regarding the cablegram about the Endurance, said: "I received a wire from Home seven days ago* stating that there wa? 110 news of Sir Ernest Shaekleton at all, and no news of the arrival of the Endurance, which meant that there was no word of her being in the Weddel Sea, so we don't actually know if the Endurance party effected a landing. Probably they did, but we have no word of it. "I don't think that it has previously been stated in. print, but when the war began Shaekleton went to the King and offered the services of all his party on both ships for fighting. He also offered all the expedition stores; in fact, he offered to abandon the expedition in the interests of the Empire, but ohe King declined Sir Ernest Shackleton's offer, and commanded that the expedition should proceed. "My own personal opinion is that the Endurance has been stuck up in the heavy pack ice, and in a disabled condition is proceeding slowly to ' South Georgia. I think no fear about her safety need be entertained till the middle of May.
