Abstract
AS the middle of May has been reached without news of the Endurance, action for the relief of Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition has to be taken on the expectation that there will be no further news this season. It is possible that the Endurance, damaged and short of coal, may still be slowly working her way northward, and that any day we may hear of her return to South Georgia with perhaps the whole of the expedition on board. But such a solution of the difficulty must be regarded as highly improbable, and the relief expedition must be prepared with the information already available.
