Shackleton to Eat Unpalatable Food TWO SHIPS FITTING OUT FOR SOUTHERN VOYAGE London, July 7.—All the provisions for Sir Ernest. Shackle-ton's trip across the south pole continent are to be packed in sausage skins. "They are the most nutritious part of the composition," says Sir Ernest. "We tried them in Norway but did not succeed. We shall ^no doubt do better at the.

In the latter there is a lot of ,- wasto which has be;n eliminated from the rations of the explorers. There will ba daylight during the wlkole five months the party is en the march, so the: ordinary clay of 24 hours will be disregarded, and a new iday of 10 hours established. Supposing ther hour for rising on the first day is 7 o'clock, xthe time tabled will work out on these l'Ucs. -a ^ 7-8 a.m.—Preparations for the start and breakfast, consisting of three ounces of lard per man, two ounces of suy;ar, one 'ounce'of-dried milk, wheat protein and oats.^ 8-12 a.m.—March. ^ the protein bui'lds) up muscle; the hnis are the most nourishing food in the world; and the bats, mixed with other rations afford tta bulk- necessary to keep t)»c organs from becoming atrophied. "You may feel rather sick when you hear of it. said Sir, Ernest, "its rather eh greasy compoubd. Indeed when we tried it in Norw.ay we thought it a very /Utipleateant sort of ration,btit I can assure you that, scientifically considered, it» is the finest that has-ever been devised. I hope J^hat this time hunger will play a very small part in our troubles. • . . . " As tlile party intends to cut right "accross the continent^ a march of 1,800 mile$,^ they will have to carry all their food with them, and cannot like provious^explorers, whose objective, was .the pole, depend upon food depots on the return march. Therefore the greatest attention is being paid to prov visions. The organization is perfect so far as human ingenuity ."can advise.' They are" allowing 15 days fopd^for blizzards, but they can go on much .shorter rations if. necessary. To carry-trhe food motor pledges with aerial propellors will be used for the first time, and in addition there will be one hundred Canadian dogs, which can carry a hundred, pounds each.
