Monday, July 30, 1923. Harding in grave condition.

President Harding was reported to e in "grave" condition, which indeed he was.


Summer life, of course, went on for many, which included camps for some.

The Dependency today is claimed by New Zealand, a claim recognized only by other countries claiming Antarctic lands.
