- W4231363455 abstract "AT the invitation of Mr. L. S. Amery, Secretary of State for the Colonies, a number of scientific men and others interested in scientific exploration visited H.M. Dockyard, Portsmouth, on Saturday last to inspect the Royal Research Ship Discovery, on the occasion of the commissioning of the ship for employ ment in scientific research in south polar regions. The visitors were taken from London by special train direct to the South Railway Jetty in the Dockyard, where the Discovery is berthed. Much interest was shown in the scientific equipment of the ship and in the laboratory and other accommodation. Shortly after noon, Mrs. Amery hoisted the blue ensign of the Falkland Islands, to show that the Discovery had been commissioned, and simultaneously the expedi tion flag was run up. After the ceremony, the party adjourned to Portsmouth Town Hall, where luncheon was provided. Mr. Amery, who presided, in propos ing the toast of “The Discovery Expedition,” referred to the steps taken by the Colonial Office to mark off a zone in the Antarctic as definitely under British control, in order to preserve whales in those waters. New Zealand has also established control over a corresponding section in the Ross Sea. The work to be carried out during the expedition is outlined in an article which appears elsewhere in this issue. Every arrangement seems to have been made to ensure the comfort of the members of the expedition and facilitate scientific investigation in many fields. We believe that this is the first time that a vessel has been described as a “Royal Research Ship,” and we hope that it may be followed in due course by other vessels similarly equipped for oceanographic investigations. We cannot be otherwise than grate ful that the conditions under which work will be carried on in the Discovery are so different from those afforded to Huxley when he went to Australian waters in the Rattlesnake nearly eighty years ago." @default.
