Abstract
CONTACT with the Norwegian whaler, Sir James Clark Ross, call sign AQE, by the south shore of the Ross Sea, 78° 30 south latitude, was obtained by C. W. Goyder from the Mill Hill School station, 2 SZ, on Jan. 30, and the messages exchanged constituted the first two-way communication with the Antarctic. Contact was again established at 8.30 A.M. to-day with the double object of putting the whaler in touch with a Norwegian station and of getting particulars of the ship C. A. Larsen, with the call sign ARDI, which is within a few miles of AQE.
