said they were 400-500 miler
from the Pole.
Sir Edmund and his group,
though about 230 miles closer
to the Pole have averaged
only 24 miles a day for the
past few days and, ii
conditions worsen, this dis.
Lance may he cut still
further.
The New Zealanders, using
tractors, are handicapped by a
serious fuel shortage and bad
snow conditions, wince have
halted them repeatedly.
Fuel Shortage
In his message to Scott Base
today. Sir Edmund said: "We
have only four drums of fuel
left, which should get us
there. But if necessary, we will
abandon one vehicle."
Direct radio contact was
made
between the two
parties this morning, and
the British leader described
his progress to Srr Edmund
and reported that he had
abandoned 0 n e of his
Weasels.
He said that his dog teams
were about 30 miles ahead of
the main party.
The New Zealanders are at
present crossing an 11,1100-feet
plateau. The high altitude has
meant constant travel in low
rear, and a consequent high
fuel consumption.
They expect soon to strike a
steady downgrade towards the
Pole, which lies at an altitude
of about 9.000 feet.
But Sir Edmund and his men
have prepared for the possibility
of losing all their merhani-
-tat transport by bringing a
nan-hauling sledge with them.
Last Lap Walk?
If they were forced to walk
tart of the last lap to the Pole,
hey would average about Li
Mies a day.
