Captain Amundsen’s report states that eight men and 115 dogs landed on the barrier. Tho dash for the South would begin directly tho Pram departed. Sir Ernest Skackleton interviewed said that if Amundsen started on February 15 he would be able to sledge until mid-April, but it would be impossible to cross the crevasses in tho Boardmore Glacier in tho darkness and with a probable temperature of 100 degrees below zero. It was possible that Amundsen’s message meant tho laying of depots to tho South. THE PRAM’S VOYAGE. (Received April 21, 10 a.m.) BUENOS AIRES, April 20. The Fram, Amundsen’s exploring >hip, reached latitude 78deg. 41min., the furthest south of any ship.
