The Southern Cross Expedition —A Dramatic Meeting

When Borchgrevink and his merry Mariners returned from Australia to report to Sir George Kewnes the result of their endeavours to discover the South Pole, England ought no doubfe to have ' enthused ' mightily a la Nansen, But the war relegated Antarctic experiences and inconve xiences to the position of a very third rate seiasaliorij and even bad there been bo war I doubt if we should have bees inclined to treat Borchgrevink and Mb lieutenants as conspicuous heroes. They seem to have done their duty as persona who voluntarily risk P»lar dangers and discoveries oaght to de i^ hub not much more. Last week the Southern Orosa reached Home, and Captain 3 ensen (her skipper) was epeedtty seized on by tke inevitable interviewer, He did not add much to what Is already known, if I except a rather dramatic little account of the " How I Found Borehgrevink" order. The West minster Gazette, who discovered the story after » glaes wi!h the skipper, says he looked like a man to. whom almost any feat of daring or of enduranc® might be possible. Tall and powerfally built, with a drooping felonde moustache, a handsome pair of keen, bright eyes, and hair just begin ning t© show traces of grey without making bim look aoy thing but a young Bian, he tnij»ht serve as a aic«l-?l of the typical Viking. And this though ho mußf; —though he says nothing of it have passed through hardships almost unparalleled. Six times he has crossed the Antarctic circle—more frequently, that is>, than any other man living, unless out of those who returned with Sir Jonea Ross m 1843 one or two who did as raucfa are still jiving, Fifteen years he has spent m the Arctic region, and twice he has got as far north as the eighty-second parallel. And he was, with Mr Borchgrevinlts one of tfee first t& set foot on the main land of Victoria Land m 1894. And yefc he looks like a man whose years have enabled him to do just enough to gain such experience as would fit him to play an important part m an important expedition. Stanley's •Or Livingston, I presume V and Jackson's greeting of Kansen: 'Fowdo you do? I'm im« aiensGly glad to see you ' are almost historic, But Captain Jeosen's an nouncement of himself to his corri panianp m their winter quarters was rather less conventional than either. Mr Borchgrevink and his landing party had spent; the winter m a hut on the shores of Robert son Bay. The Antarctic summer was drawing to a close somewhat prema turely, and they began to fear that the Southern Gross might be prevented by thi ice from returning for another year. They had, indeed ? come so near to abandoning hope that they had set to work to collect and salt penguins* eggt, as a food supply during the weary twelve months—at least—that tkey feared, they h«d before them And then, m the ni^ht, and quite unexpected, the vessel came back to them. As Oaptain Jensen himself tells it: 'We had to battle tbroash the ice to get back to Bobertson B iy, and there we found it so fall of loose ice fehafc we Gould not go is, so we anchored outside. I took a bag with the mails and Borne fr"sh fruit and newspapers and other things, and battled nay way through the ice-iioes and the strong currents until at last I reached the shore. I wen* up to tho hufc, and stood and listened. There was sot a sound, end I was afraid to think what I might find inside. At last, though, a dog barked, and that told me men were there. I walked Into the hat, with the miil bag on my back. They were all asleep. I flould hear them snoring m their buaks, so I just put the bag on the table and sang out ' Here's the postman.' Every head was out of every bank at once, and everyone looked bewildered. Then m a moment there was laughing and shouting on every side, and all cried at once, ' Any letters for me f And then followed inquiries on both sides. All was right, I told them, on board ; but they, I was grieved to learn, had lost poor Hanson. Of coarse I found all of them changed m appearance, bat not so much so as might be expected. It may be that I noticed the change less as they were all clean shaved, waiting for me—shaving need not be neglected during the Antarctic 1 enraraer, you know, for though it is, of course, very cold, a mas can even 'go about without mittens, and run no sink.

Rooliganism Run Mad.

An extraordinary story of Hooligan ism was told at the Rugeley Police Court, wb™ William and Ernest Brindrey and Samuel Harrington were charged with shooting at several per sons. The prisoners were found early m the morning on the railway near Bugeley In a platelayers' cabin, into whacb they had broken and had lighted & Ire. Oa being ordered off, they fired a revolver at a platelayer, the shot narrowly missing the ronn's head. They then ran away. On being followed by Inspector Whitehursfc m a carfe each prisoner shouted ' Hands up,' and threatened to blow out his brains. In running away again they were met by Constable Keath on a bicycle, Thby covered him m the same way, and then eßC&ped across three fields. Heath pursued and overtook them, a»d the prisoners fired two shots at him. At this point the chase was taken up by several men, one of whom on being fired afe by the prisoners replied with a shot gun, severely peppering two of the fugitives. All three got away bow ever, and their final exploit was to hold tip a milkman, whose carfc they made off with. Soon after this Ser geant Parsons overtook th@ prisoners, and overpowered them. The prisoners were remanded
