MESSAGE FROM AMUNDSEN
SIR S. SHACKLETON INTER-
VIEWED
(Received April 21, 9 a.m.)
CHRISTIANIA, April 20.
A report received from Captain Amundsen, leader of the Norwegian Antarctic expedition, states that eight men and 115 dogs were landed at the Barrier, and that the dash for the South would begin directly the vessel Fram departed for Buenos Ayres. Sir Ernest Shackleton, interviewed, said that if Amundsen started on the 15th February he would be able to sledge until mid-April, but it would be impossible to cross the crevasses of the Beardmore Glacier in the darkness and a probable temperature of lOOdeg. below zero. It was possible that Captain Amundsen's message meant that lie was laying depots to the South.
THE FRAM'S RECORD,
FURTHEST SOUTH
(Received April 20, 9.10 a.m.)
BUENOS AYRES, April 20. The Fram reached 78.41deg., the farthest south reached by any ship.
