Abstract
THE Times of November 9 announces the organisation of an important expedition for the investigation of the eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean, with a possible extension westward to Newfoundland. By an Order in Council, dated October 16, his Majesty the King of Norway has granted permission, subject to certain conditions, for the Norwegian Government steamer Michael Sars “to be placed gratuitously at disposal for a scientific expedition in the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary islands to the Færöes, in the spring of 1910, proposed by a British subject, Sir John Murray,” and also for “the Fishery Director, Dr. Hjort, Assistant Koefoed, and Mr. Helland-Hansen, as well as the ship's captain and engineer... to take part in the expedition while continuing to draw their salaries.”
