admiralty flyers will start
ON PERILOUS SEARCH
OF ICE PACK
OSLO, Norway, June 3 (#*)—Lieu
enant Lutzow Holm announced today
liat he will be control officer in the
search for the Amundsen expedition.
With, him will be Lieutenants Harold
Styhr and Bernt Balchen.
The Norwegian admiralty shipped
skiis, tents, sledges, and other sup
plies on the transport Norten.
Holm is 35 years of age and was
flying in California a few months ago.
He said he had been ordered to re
connoiter the edge of the ice field i
without flying over the ice to the
Pole. He declared he could see 100
miles onl a clear day but that it would j
^ he difficult to distinguish human be
ings fro'm the air. He said he hoped
to locate Amundsen by smoke bombs
with which Amundsen was provided.
The planes are to be transferred to
Amundsen’s ships Farm and Ingertre
which will resume their regular coal
carrying service.
The statement by Capt. Hagerup
of the Farm that he opposed the use
of planes in the search has engender
ed pertubation. He declared that the
planes risk the lives of the aviators
without the likelihood of aiding the
lost explorers. Hagerup is reported
to object to the use of the Farm in
patrolling the ice edge any more as
the vessel is built of iron which is
less suitable than wood.
