BYRD WHALING BOATS CRUSHED BY ICE, REPORT New York Representative of Party Says No Loss Will Be Suffered. gn t mtrri Press LONDON. Doc. 26.-- Exchange telegraph dispatches from Wellington. New Zealand, reported that the supply ship Eleanor Bolling of the Byrd Antarctic expedition had received a wireless message stating that two Antarctic whaling boats had been crushed in the ice. The wireless message as received by the Byrd ship stated “two Antarctic whale chasers have been crushed in the ice” without specifying that they were attached to the expedition of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Captain H H. Railey, New York representative of the Byrd expedition, commenting on the above dispatch, said he had no knowledge of any whaling expeditions sent out by the Byrd party. He explained that the whaling ship Neilsen Alonzo left her base recently in New Zealand for the whaling grounds as an accommodation to Rear Admiral Byrd. The whaler carried a quantity of supplies for the exploring party on the ice barrier. Captain Railey said j the Neilsen Alonzo had planned to 1 transfer the supplies to small whale , “chasers” which were to take them through the Ross sea to little America. It was possible “whale chasers” referred to in the Exchange telegraph dispatches referred to those sent out from Neilsen Alonzo. Capt. Railey said, however, that if such were true. Byrd and his men would suffer no hardships through the loss of the supplies.

GALES SWEEP COASTS AGAIN; 22 LIVES LOST Britain, France and Spain Are Battered by Fierce Storms. liv United Press LONDON, Dec. 26.—The coasts of the British Isles, France and Spain, only two weeks ago swept by gales of a week’s duration, witnessed renewed tempests over Christmas. Considerable damage was done by shipping, although the only loss of life was confined to one disaster, the sinking of a Norwegian steamship off Bayona, with twenty-two of its crew. The steamship was the Eeizer Aslaug, en route to Vigo, Spain, *--";h a cargo of codfish from Iceland. It sank after being driven aground by terrific gales. Heavy storms also swept the English channel, forcing many vessels to seek port. A squadron of Soviet cruisers, damaged in the earlier storms, attempted to leave the harbor at Brest, France, but the storms were so severe that they returned. Two schooners were blown on the rocks off Porspol, France. France, with the exception of the upper Alps and Pyrenees, had a snowless Christmas with spring-like temperatures which ranged as high as 72 degrees in Paris.
