DECLINES OFFER OF $BO,OOO TO JOIN FEDERAL LEAGUE MAWSON [3 AVED BY HIDDEN FOOO Explorer in Antarctic Regions Has Terrible Experience While Sep arated From Companions, ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA. March 2.—Dr. Douglas Mawson, who has just returnel from the Antarclic, vividly describes the disastrous sledge journey on which Lieutenant B. E. S.

His food was exhausted, he was stumbling along in a snow storm when he happened to see a black spot ard discovered it was a cache, After restoring his strength suffi ciently, as h 2 theought, to reach his base, 21 miles away, he left the re mainder of the contents of the cache for the search party which he thought would b 2 sent out. But so furious grew the storm that Mawson could make his way no more than two miles. So he dragged himeelf baek to the cache, where the searching party found him. He has been in poor health ever since this trying experience in Feb ruary, last year, so little sledging was undertaken afterward. The health of the rest of the party was exceptionul 1y good. 5 Terrific winds were experienced at the expedition’s base in Adelieland. During one whole month the wind's speed averaged 63 miles an hour. For one hour it Hlew 116 miles, and gusts were frequently gauged at over 200 miles an hour. These winds delayed the party, but they took advantage of the delay to make a magnificent collection of eggs, some extremely rare, Dr. Mawson emphasized the value of wireless telegraphy to him and in gisted that no similar expedition should be uadertaken without wire less apparatus.
