For Fourth Expedition American Hopes to Explore Enderby Quadrant

SPECIAL TO THE "N.CD.N."

Capetown, Sept. 27.

"Mr. Lincoln Ellsworth, the famous American explorer, arrived in Capetown today from Durban.

He intends to join his expedition ship, the Wyatt Carp, at Capetown for a fourth expedition into the Antarctic. The voyage is planned to start at the beginning of November.

The explorer will sail 2,500 miles to Enderby Land, on the African side of the Antarctic Continent. The Enderby quadrant of 750,000 square miles has never yet been penetrated.

Ellsworth, who has been in New York for the past two years since his trans-Atlantic flight with Mr. Herbert Hollick Kenyon, a Canadian pilot, hopes to examine the unknown interior of the quadrant and discover its geological, ' geographical and topographical features.

The expedition will consist of nineteen persons carrying two aeroplanes.—Reuter.
