loading the third when some
obstruction stopped the pow

exploder in and fired the OBJ
structions and must have left
some fire in the bottom of the
hole. Conley then started to
fill it, using a key Of powder,

NANSEN'S RETURN
The Noted Explorer Penetrated
Further North Than Any
Previous Expedition.
Says He Could Have Reached the
Pole With More Dogs and
Canoes.
The Voyage Extremely Valuable
From a Scientific Point of
View.

VARDoE, Norway, Aug. 15.-Dr. Nam
sen says that the Fran drifted with the
ice in westerly direction to "a degrees,
and he expects the vessel will event
ually arrive at Spitzbergen. He adds
that wherever they penetrated they
found ice broken. Large patches of
water were also found $500 metres
deep. Below the depth of 100 metres
the water was appreciably warmer,
probably owing to the gulf stream.
Rocky scars, of which the explorers had
no previous knowledge, prevented en-
trance into the Olenek river for days.
In consequence Of the scarcity Of dogs
with the expedition, DIR. Nansen was
compelled to turn back at 1915. He
adds that if he had beep provided with
asufficient number of dogs and canoes
the pole would have been reached. The
land voyage was most arduous, but ex-
tremely valuable scientific results were
obtained
In 1895 DIR. Nansen reached the north
coast of Franz Josef Land and built a
stone house, in which he lived the
whole winter.
The jackson Farnsworth expedition
arrived at Franz Josef Land the fol-
lowing spring.
jackson met DIR. Nansen in June on
the ice foes off Cape Flora. DIR. Nam
sen was surprised at the presence Of the
explorers on Franz Josef Land, as he
himself had been living in a hut quite
close to one of Jackson's stations for q
long time.
Was Gone Over Three Years.
DIR. Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian
scientist, now SO years Of age, sailed
from Christiana on June "a, 1893, on q
voyage of discovery to the Arctic re-.
gions and with the intention of reach
ing the North pole if possible. He en-
barked on board the 3-masted schooner
Fran, which was provided with 16O-
horsepower engine. She was Of 800
tons and her sides were so constructed
as to force all ice meeting the vessel to
pass under it, thus preventing all pinch
ing and screwing. The Fran was
launched at Laurwick, near Christiana,
ON Oct. 20, 1892, and the Norwegian
parliament gave DIR. Nansen about $52,-
600 in aid of his expedition.
