"The Magellan Times", Miscellaneous Reports (after visit)

19 October 1916

The following telegram has been received by the British Association of Magallanes from Sir Ernest Shackleton:--

Santiago,
5th October 1916.

We are now leaving Chile and on behalf of my comrades and myself wish to thank you for the way in which you took us to your hearts and made a second home for us far from our native land. The British Association will be ever a vivid memory for the unstinting kindness, generosity and sportsmanship of a crowd of good fellows.

Shackleton.

9 November 1916

We are pleased to learn that our young friend of the Shackleton Expedition, Mr. Blackborow, has so far recovered that he was able to leave hospital yesterday and take his passage for home by the Ortega.
