Gould Digging
Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd last week flew east from Little America, discovered: 1) mountains running north and south between west longitude 150 and 145; 2) indications that the Scott Nunataks, Alexandra and Rockefeller Mountains were island-tops. Meanwhile Geologist Laurence McKinley Gould, looking for earth and rocks to dig, with George (''Mike") Thorne of Chicago (rescuer of Boy Scout Paul Siple last summer and regarded as perhaps the hardiest man in the Byrd Expedition) and John S. O'Brien, tried to climb Liv Glacier up which Byrd's plane flew to the South Pole. Thwarted, they attacked windy Heiberg Glacier.
