The first person of Chinese descent to graduate from the School was Kathleen Anuei Pih-Chang (1903-91). As a child, she was nursed back to health by Margaret Reid, Dunedin missionary to China. The pair developed a close relationship, and when Reid returned to Dunedin in 1908, she brought Pih-Chang with her, eventually adopting her. After a secondary education at Otago Girls High School, she attended Otago Medical School, the ‘only Chinese’ to do so at a time when ‘anti-Chinese prejudice was still strong’. After graduation, Pih-Chang returned to China as a missionary doctor, administering to all who needed her services. In 1969, Pih-Chang and her husband retired to Tauranga.]]> Margaret D.

Vossler]]> Books]]> Antartic’s crew were dropped off at Hope Bay with the intention of rescuing the Snow Hill inhabitants. They were not successful, being forced to dig in for the winter in a makeshift hut. After leaving these three men behind, the ship became stuck in ice and sank in early February 1903. The remaining crew trekked to Paulet Island, with the ship’s cat, and built a hut to fit twenty men. The situation for all three parties seemed hopeless, with no group knowing the whereabouts of the other. Finally, in incredibly coincidental circumstances, all expedition members were found and rescued late in 1903 by the crew of Argentinian naval ship, Uruguay. Despite not achieving all scientific objectives, the expedition generated at least six volumes of scientific reports, as above.]]> ___]]> Books]]> Antarctic, Nordenskjöld and five others set up a magnetic observatory on Snow Hill Island where they would overwinter. The ship, captained by Carl Larsen, left to explore northern regions but because of the ice was unable to return and pick up the party. This meant two harsh winters on the island, during which time Nordenskjöld and his men resorted to bagging 400 penguins and 30 seals for fuel and food supplies. Despite this, scientific observations were still made and specimens, like that of the Myriothela austro-georgiae, pictured here, were still collected.]]> ___]]> Books]]> Antarctic on October 16th, 1901, with Norwegian Captain Carl Anton Larsen (1860-1924) at the helm. On the journey south to Antarctica the crew picked up Argentinian naval officer José Sobral who joined the expedition in exchange for help from the Argentinian government. In the winter of 1902 a group of six scientists, which included Nordenskjöld, set up camp on Snow Hill Island off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship, Antarctic, and the remaining crew travelled north intending to spend the winter exploring. The Snow Hill Island group spent the winter making scientific observations. After the icepack failed to open up in the summer of 1903 to allow the Antarctic’s return to pick them up, they realised they would have to spend another winter on the ice and subsequently bagged 400 penguins and 30 seals for their winter food and fuel supplies. During this time the Antarctic, on its trip north, had become stuck in the sea ice and the remaining crew abandoned the sinking ship and trekked, along with the ship’s cat, to Paulet Island (at the north-eastern end of the Antarctic Peninsula). There they built a stone hut and killed over a thousand penguins to supplement their winter food supplies taken from the ship. Eventually both parties were rescued by the Argentinian boat Uruguay in November, 1903.]]> ___]]> Antarctic on October 16th, 1901, with Norwegian Captain Carl Anton Larsen (1860-1924) at the helm.
