Abstract
CONSIDERABLE concern was caused by the announcement on January 18 from the commanding officer of the R.R.S. Discovery II, that a survey party which had been landed on King George Island, South Shetlands, was missing. Early on the following day, however, the reassuring message was received that the party had been located and had returned to the ship. The Discovery Committee states that the party consisted of: Lieut. R. Walker, R.N.R., chief officer; Dr, J. R. Strong, ship's surgeon; Dr. F. D. Ommanney, scientific officer; Mr. R. G. Gourlay, third engineer; Mr. J. Matheson, boatswain's mate; and Mr. J. Dobson, A.B.
