UNFOUNDED RUMOURS.
It is very much to be deplored that certain newspapers in the South Island, and in Australia, should have placed a construction upon the messages from the Antarctic which are calculated to arouse a feeling of uneasiness in the minds of the public. We have scrutinised the messages very closely, and have failed to discover in them any statement of fact or absence of data which could afford reasonable scope for the wild conjectures of sensation-mongers. At the most the statement given to the press displays certain ambiguities and defects in compilation. There is absolutely no room for apprehension as t~ their bona fides. In view of the rash conclusions that have been drawn bv imaginative journalists, it is not at all surprising that Commander Evans should decline to be further interviewed, or that the- better-class journals in the Old Country should express indignation and dismay at the comments made.
