  • 'The Long Silence'
    Just on a hundred years ago, on 31 March 1909, a small crowd of people gathered in the pre- dawn gloom of Darling Harbour, waiting for a steamer to arrive. Professor T.W.Edgeworth David was returning to Sydney after an absence of 15 months, during which time he had served as leader of the scientific team on Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition, undertaken a climb of the volcanic Mt Erebus and successfully completed a hazardous journey to the vicinity of the South Magnetic Pole. He was returning to Australia a popular hero. Many in the waiting crowd were students, young men and women from David’s geology department at the University of Sydney. It was a cold morning and people were muffled in scarves and overcoats. They stood around in subdued conversation or passed the time watching the loading of coal on the many ships berthed there under the glare of huge electric lights. At 5am the first rays of sun appeared and soon afterwards a vessel glided into view through the fog. The Sydney Mail described the arrival: ‘ A tall figure on the steamer’s deck was looking eagerly at the crowd on the wharf. There was no mistaking that old, familiar form.’ An undergraduate yelled, ‘“I see you’ve got your old brown hat on...” And, greeted with smiles and hand-wringing, Professor David was home from Antarctica.’ * * * * * * * In 1907 Edgeworth David had learnt that Ernest Shackleton, a veteran of Robert Scott’s polar expedition of 1901/2, was raising funds for a new expedition to the Antarctic.

    Eminent Living Geologists : Professor Sir T. W. Edgeworth David, K.B.E., C.M.G., D.S.O., B.A., Hon. D.Sc. (Oxon.), F.-R-S., F.G.S., Lieut.-Colonel Australian Imperial Forces. (PLATE I.) PROFESSOR SIR EDGEWORTH DAVID was born in 1858 at -*- St. Fagan's Rectory, near Cardiff, and was educated at Magdalen College School, Oxford, becoming head of the school and captain of the football and boat clubs. In 1876 he was elected to the Senior Classical Scholarship at New College, Oxford, and graduated in 1880, having won further distinctions in classics and in athletics. He had included in his studies a course of geology under Pro- fessor Prestwich, and had commenced in South Wales his life-long research upon the problems of glaciation. His geological studies were continued in London under Professor Judd, at the Royal School of Mines, and in 1882 he was appointed to the Geological Survey of New South Wales, under the late Mr. C. S. Wilkinson. On his arrival in Sydney in November of that year he made an investigation of the very fossiliferous Silurian beds of Yass, and shortly afterwards commenced the study of the rich tin-bearing deep-leads and alluvium of New England, completing a large quarto memoir thereon in 1887. His duties led him to visit many pirts of the State, but attention was now devoted chiefly to the Survey of the Hunter River Coalfield, which has occupied much of his time ever since; indeed, part only of his researches thereon has yet appeared. This investigation has been of immense value both economically and scientifically.

Harvey found the rock earlier this season in Antarctica, but it came from 200 million miles away. The stone is a meteorite, which traveled to Earth from the vast asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. And Harvey, a geology professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, is a meteorite hunter.
