Cargo Ship Returns
To Little America
(By Alton L. Blakeslee)
LITTLE AMERICA, <Delayed>
(A*)—The cargoship Yancey will
be sent back into the Bay of
Whales tonight in response to a
call from Little America’s tent
town for more men and bread.
The supply ships Yancey and
Merrick and the Mount Olympus
were forced to leave the camp an
chorage and seek open water when
a north wind began blowing a
huge iceberg and chunks of ice
into the bay.
Snow flurries swept the camp
and the three ships throughout the
day, but the wind swung around
to the east late today.
Rear Adm. Richard H. Cruzen,
noting the favorable turn of the
wind, said “we hope to have better
weather here 24 hours from now if
the wind shifts to the southeast.’’
It may be clear here by Wednes
day evening. There also is a
chance the weather will clear in
the area of the carrier Philippine
Sea, outside the ice pack, a few
hours earlier.
This means there is a possibility
the transport plane with Rear
Adm. Byrd, expedition leader,
may take off from the carrier for
Little America.
Cruzen, said, however, it was
probable the flight would be de
layed until Thursday or Thursday
night.
The«Yancey, after entering the
bay, will send seabees and bread
ashore by small boat.
