BYRD SERIOUSLY ILL. AID BARES AFTER RESCUE Admiral Exhausted When Found in Ice Hut, Doctor Reveals. Bt f'nilM Press LITTLE AMERICA. Antarctica Ami? 15 —'Via Mackay Radio Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Is recovering from an illness which threatened his life in his hut 123 miles out on the Ross Ice Barrier. Dr. Thomas C. Pouiter reported by wireless today. Dr. Pouiter and a crew of two in a snow tractor reached Admiral Byrd, it was revealed, to find him seriously ill. and extremely weak. Fumes from his kerosene stovq poisoned him in June. He was so weakened that he was unable to prepare his food properly—a grave thing in the antarctic where a balanced diet is necessary’. Toward the last, before Dr. Pouiter reached him. Admiral Byrd was forced to spend half the time in his sleeping bag. both because of his weakness and because he was afraid to u-e his stove for sufficiently long periods to keep his little hut heated. Exerted Rescue Sooner It was found that he was too weak to crank longer than a few minutes the emergency wireless generator he used to communicate with the base, and this acrounted for fragmentary reports from him. It appeared also that his wireless receiving set had been out of order for a long time, and he had been expecting the tractor for many days before it arrived. Dr. Pouiter reported that he and his crew would stay at Admiral Byrd’s hut until Byrd had recovered fully, rather than risk the long journey back tn the cold and winter darkness. Stay at Ire Hut "We will stay until Admiral Bvrd feels able to start back," reported Dr. Pouiter. “Our presence here and the fact that we have relieved him of the phvsical details incidental to his solitary confinement have already lifted a great weight off his shoulders. He is remarkably cheerful.'* Dr Pouiter has converted Admiral Byrd's hut into a meteorological station in order to study the meteor showers and to compare weather reports with the base.
