THE ANTARCTIO

JAMES M.acDONALI) AT IIELM

Souris Youlhs.On Historic Voyage To Anlarclic Base

A few weeks ago two young AIIIHITIIC adventurers from San- ris, P.E.l.. returned to their homes am-r spending almost six months on a history-making cruise to the Aiitzirtic Continent via London, linglzind. The two t..iveliers. Ja- iiies MacDonald. 5011 OI M13 lilld Ilrs. Reg. S. MacDonald. and Kim- ball Jarvis, son of ilr. and Mrs. Lawrence Jarvis were among the crew members of the now lamolls ruggcd little Canadian sealer. M. V, "Theron" of 849 tons.

The ship carried the advanw party of the Commonwealth Trans- Antarctic Expedition. led by Dr. Vivian Fuchs for the purpose of setting up an advanced base near the edge of the ice .cap. From this base the expedition will at- tempt to cross the 2.000-mile ice cap via the South Pole.

In a diary which he kept of the voyage, Jim said the ship sailed from Halifax, October 23, last. with very little fanfare, for Lon- don. England. arriving at Mlllwall Ducks on November 3. Here the supplies for the expedition were taken on and Dr. Fuchs and his party of seventeen joincd the ship. On November 14 the sturdy vessel headed down river amidst a tum- ultuous send-off by every whistle and voice within hailing distance.

The trip to Montevideo was un- evciitiul and they completed the first leg of the voyage December 9. it was at llontevideo that the party was joined by Sir Edmund llillcry. the conqueror of Mt. Ev- erest in 1953. -

VISITED WHALJNG STATION

Leaving Montevideo the Theron continued her way along the east toast of South America. arriving at King E ward Island on De- cembcr 16. he ship stayed at this place for four days and our wan- dercrs had their first opportunity of visiting a whaling station in full operation. The boys were greatly surprised at the speed in which the factory crew disposed of the whales. Jim said that he sun. at sixty-nine foot whale cut up in. a matter of fifteen minutes.

WlIlIt' hero they also were able to visit the burial place of Sir. Ernest Shackleton. the famous British Antarctic explorer who lost his life when his ship. 'the

-.covcry, was crushed in the tiiciiclicrous ice fields.

on December 20 the momentous and nerve-wrackiug part of the lovaac began when the Theron siiilcd for he Antarctic wastes. in ii tcw ours the ship was llircaiiing its way through num- rrnus enormous icebergs and on the second day when they en countered hcavy packed ice, the Cllltain. Harold L. Man), of Ches ler. MS. a naturalized Norwegian-

born scnman. personally took over :21; wheel to steer the ship through 0 ICC

Bl” Christmas Day. they started to encounter ice having I depth of ten feet in which they were stuck solid for two days, it w” ill: ing this time that our adven- lurcrs wcrc given the opportunity '0 lI1V their hand at seal hunting aloiiiz with Sir Edmund. During Ill: ncxt five days they managed to make three miles bucking very heavy Ice continuall.,.

DRIFTING ICE

From December 25 until Jan- uary 4 it was calculated tharihe ship had managed to steam about t lies on her own power. but the drifting ice was cwrrying them along at a speed of twenty miles a day. Finally freeing herself on January 24, two days later the Antarctic Continent was sighted at a point near Cape Norgia. From then on the ship moved through almost completely -open water. until arriving at Vshsel Bay on January 29 where the stores were to be landed. -

The unloading was not carried out without incident. for at one time the seas washed over the edge of the ice to which the ship was moored.,causing her to break away from Iher moorings and threatening to crumble the ice away. dumping" much of the stores into the sea, 1'

On the seventh, Jim noted in his diary, the work of unloadnig was completed and the ship sailed on the homeward journey. On the way out much ice was encountered and the ship a. ived at Gritvichen on the fourteenth of February. From this point until they arrived back at Montevideo fairly heavy seas and rain squalla were ountcred.

After an overnight stop at the latter port they then sailed for Madeira. All this time the weather had been getting warmer and the crew were taking every opportu- nity to soak in the sun and to acquire a tan.

RETURN VOYAGE

The "Theron" arrived at Mad- iera after an uneventful trip on March 15 and the next day sailed for London. Despite the heavy weather and fog they managed to make very good time and were forced to anchor on two occasions so as to arri al at the Port of London. ..j...:..M.....-..E.

The last place of anchoring was off Gravesend on March 27 for about five hours; and at 5:30 oi that morning the ship started up the River Thames on the final leg of her adventurous voyage to rousi ,, welcome from every com- unity and vessel alongthe river, At. 9:50 a.m. the sturdy little sea- ler slipped into her berth at But- ler's wharf. below the Tower Bridge. to the cheers of hundred of siglitseers on the wharf and along the Thames Embankment.

The next day two tired but happy travellers signed off the ship and tried the luxury of hotel living for a couple of days. Then it was a train from Waterloo to Southampton where they boarded the Cunard liner F.anconia for home. But this was not to be. A few days out the ship developed shaft trouble and had to put back to Southampton. Here their book- ings were transfered to the Queen Mary and the homeward stretch started April 5, New York being reached on the ninth. From there it was train trip back to Prince Edward Island via Montreal and Halifax.

The envy of many in their com- munity, the two young-old- "salts" have experienced an adventure that is not likely to be soon for- gotten.
