AMUNDSEN TO SEND FLASH
IF H EREACHES THE POLE
SEATTLE. Aug. 20—From the
remotest, most inaccessible spot on
sarth—the North Pole—a wireless
message will be flashed to the civi
lized world, if the plans of Captain
Roald Amundsen, discoverer of tihe
South Pole and famous Arctic ex
plorer. are carried out.
Captain Amundsen’s schooner
Maud, on which he hoped to drift
past the pole with the ice floes, was
disabled by a broken propeller off
Cape Serdze. Siberia, after he had
spent two years in pushing around
the eastward Pretie Passage from
Norway. The explorer left his ves
sel and her crew to await a break
' in the ice and proceeded to Nome,
later coming to Seattle on a recent
ship.
I The Maud has no wireless ap
paratus, but Captain Amundsen ex
pects to instal one when the craft
is brought here, some time this
summer, to be repaired and refitted.
Captain Amundsen explained that
his party had been cut off from
communication with other human
beings for two years, with but one
break—his trip out to Nome last
year—two years of ice-bound hori
| zons, of bitter cold, of almost end
| less night.
‘•The war was raging in its most
critical period when we left the
world most of you know." he re
called. "and for many months we
speculated in vain on the course
of events. It was in December. 1919
more than a year after the signing
of the armistice, that we finally met
a Russian trader who told us what
had happened. Then I determined
we would carry wireless."
Captain Amundsen told The As
sociated Press he would spend the
; next year in the United States,
| probably most of it around Seattle,
i and would sail from this port next
summer. He will strike back for
i Cape Serdze, he said, trusting to
! meet with better luck than the
! furious Arctic storm which last
1 year hurled the Maud into the ice
bank on the Siberian coast.
The explorer affirmed that his voy
} age had tended only to confirm nis
previous theories about magnetic
'properties of tfoe Arctic basin. He
| expressed faith in his belief that
, I
| an ocean current running nortn
| easterly from Cape Serdze would j
i carry him past the Pole and event
, ually into the Atlantic ocean.
“When we reached Nome ayear
ago and started back,” he said,
“the trouble was that an unpre
' cedented ja mof ice prevented us
from pushing far enough North.
We drifted too much to the Ea?t—
and the currents eastward from Si
beria are extraoordinarv—it is a
sort of whirlpool, where one wand
ers around in circles instead of fol
lowing any course.
“It will take three years—per
haps longer,” he predicted.
Captain Amundsen said that an
important p>art of his equipment
| consisted of books, hundreds of
| them.
“I read mostly fiction,” he said.
! “Under such circumstances a man’s
; mind needs diversion. I want some
tiling light—but not too light. It (
must be plausible.”
The party experienced no serious
illness the entire trip. Nor did the
cold cause suffering, the explorer
•aid. for all were well equipped. On
the tortuous voyage from Norway
to Eastern Siberia the encountered
few natives.
“It is a desolate shore on the
North of Siberia.” he pointed out.
“We saw few signs of life, except
occasional polar bears. At one point
we shot forty, skinned them and
used the meat for steaks. If we
had been trapping for skins we
could have made a small fortune.”
The Maud’s crew includes Dr. H
V. Sverdrup, a scientist; Oscar
Wisting, G. Olonikin and seven
natives. They left Norway in 1918
and remained buried in the ice
nineteen months.
CHINESE ARE COMPLETING
TWO SHIPS FOR AMERICA
SHANGHAI, Aug. 3—Work ot
installing engines and mechanical
equipment in the hulls of the
steamers Oriental and Cathay is
proceeding rapidly and it is believed
that before the summer is over
these two ships, which are the last
of four built in Shanghai for the
U. S. Shipping Board, will be de
livered at San Francisco. The first
two of the four vessels are the
Mandarin and Celestial, which have
oeen completed.
The building of the four vessels,
all sister ships of 10,500 tons, is a
distinct achievement for Chinese
builders and marks a noteworthy
advance in the industry of ship
building in this country, for they
are the largest boats ever built in
China. Reports of shipping men to
representatives of the American
shipping board at Shanghai are
that the Mandarin, which eras de
livered come time ago in San Fran
cisco. was held to be one of the
best ships of the many constructed
for the shipping board. It is the
belief of officers of the Kiangna.t
Dock and Engineering Company,
builders of the four vessels, that
all four will live up to the stand
ard set by the Mandarin.

Fairbanks with mail and a small
consignment of freight, including
ore samples which are being sent
to Fairbanks for assay.
Nelson and Horner, mowing picture
men who went into the Kantishna
with Charle5 Ingersoll some time
ago. are now working their way out
of the district by way of the Riley
creek road to the Government rail
road, accompanied by Joe Clark.
Their plan is to return by way of
Xenana and go back to the coast
over the Richardson highway, tak
ing the Kennecott mine enroute.
During the time that Ingersoll and
Elam Harnish were with them, the
movie men secured many reels of
pictures, including some “close-ups”
of big game.
