WELCOME AT CAPETOWN. SHIP VERY BATTERED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, June 18. I Elaborate precautions were taken to prevent Press interviews when the [Quest arrived. The ship was sent back to sea after landing Captain Wild and two officers.

The crew were tired, but happy reading letters. The Quest called at Gough Island for deep sea soundings and .discovered a hitherto unknown species of birds. At Tristan de Cunha she found all well, including the clergyman Rogers and his wife. The Quest was in daily wireless touch with Europe, even in the far south. The explorers were welcomed by the May or of Capetown. Captain Wild told a correspondent that he was quite satisfied with the results of the voyage, but would like to have done more. The Quest will remain three weeks repairing and replenishing before returning south.
