"The Magellan Times", 28 September 1916

A telegram received by our contemporary «El Magallanes» announces that the Yelcho with Sir Ernest Shackleton and party arrived at Valparaiso yesterday. The reception at the port was tremendous, more than 30,000 being present to witness the arrival of Comandante Pardo and the distinguished guests. In the "Circulo Naval", Captain Ward delivered a most eloquent speech. Sir Ernest and the other members of the expedition, together with Comandante Pardo leave today for Santiago.
