Shackleton’s Classic.

Among the world's greatest dramatic stories must surely be reckoned .Sir Ernest Shackleton’s simple account, recently published in England in the Manchester Guardian, of his final rescue, after the fourth attempt, of the men stranded on Elephant island. “I shall never forget,” he says, “that moment when, on the fourth attempt to reach the island, the fog suddenly lifted, and we found we were only half a mile from the camp. I saw a little figure on the ice—it was Frank Wild. T shouted, ‘Are you all well?’ and he replied. ‘All well, boss.’ Within three-quarters of an hour we were all homeward bound.” —Christian Science Monitor. ——
