ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
DR. COPE LANDS. TO EXPLORE GRAHAM’S LAND. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, June 29. The Federal Department has received a letter, posted on a whale-catcher at Auvord Bay, Graham’s Land, last December from Captain Wilkins, giving details of the landing of' Dr. Cope’s expedition. The party consists of -Dr. Cope, Captain Wilkins, Mr. Bagshawe (geologist) and Mr. Lister (topographer). Considerable stores, equipment and eight dogs were landed. The intention was to start as soon as possible across Graham’s Land and to establish a base on the other side, then next spring, or possibly late in the present winter, to go south carrying supplies, returning in the summer and living on seal meat. A steamer will call for the party in February, 1922. From these facts it appears that Dr. Cope’s ambitious expedition has developed into a mere reconnaissance party exploring Graham’s Land.
