SHACKLETON'S PARTY.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT RESCUE Australian-Xew Zealand Cable Associa> tion.—Copyright. Received July 2, 5.5 p.m. London, July T. Dr. Mawson states that arrangements are being made for another attempt to rescue the marooned explorers on Elephant Island, by a sleel vessel, which is the only type available until the Aurora has been repaired. The chance of success is small. Dr. ilawson adds that everything depends on the rapid refitting of the Aurora, and despatching her to Pimta Arenas, where Sir E. Shackleton can be picked up. In that case rescue is practically certain. The Aurorawould then continue her voyage, and pick up the Ross Sea party in January. Sir E. Shackleton announces his intention of personally proceeding to the Ross Sea. It is understood that a suitable wooden whaler, apart from the Aurora, cannot be obtained. It would cost £35,000 to purchase and relit a wooden vessel in England, but the Aurora could be fitted out much curlier. Thus the Aurora may be the means of saving the castaways.
