the currents OF the sea- instead OF fighting against
them My opinion is. as l have already eSpaineu

run currents into the Polar region which carry
the foe-ce across the Polar Sea. hrst north"aru
toward the Pole and then southwark again INTO
IN. Atlantic ocean. That these currents really ex-
,s, all Arctic expeditions prove. as most OF them
have had to fight against the currents ana against
~ GOO drifting southwark. because they have tried
IN get northward from the wrong side thihK a
very simple conclusion must be Drawn from inns
fac, that currents and drifting Ice are constantly
coming from the unknown north, VIZ; currents
and perhaps also ice must pass INTO this same

HIS OBJECT MAY HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED
EX-JUsTIcE CHARLES p. DALY'S INTERESTING
DISCUSSION OF THE DISPATCHES


Ex-Justlce Charles p DAILY, the president OF the
American C,oographical Society said yesterday to
rr,h,,,e reporter: 1T seems to me from Il careful
study OF the dispatches and OF Nansens plans that
il quite probable that he has achieved his OBJECT
rut OF course all that any can say. In this
rasnect is mere theory and opinion. AS general
rule conjecures in matters OF this KIND are oil niue
value and you must remember that until we nave
more definite information every opinion that is ex-
pressed must be founded purely upon conjecture.
But in my own mind the fact that news OF Nansen
has been received from two sources and especially
from such an authoritative source as the British
Consul mt Archange leads me 10 the conclusion that
Nansen is really returning. and that the chances are
that he has achieved his object.
81 say with emphasis that II IS not improbable that
he has reached the North Pole although this as
sertlon must OF course be received as coming from
one no Is not an expert in Arctic explorations AS
you know Nanssn expected 10 follow current tnat
would convey him TO the regions or the Norih Pole.
and this same current he expected would carry
him to the coast Of East Greenland. Consequently.
in the face OF this. there Is some mystery as 10
how Nansen arrived back on the coast OF Siberia |
have however thought this matter over. and II
occurs TO that the Fran. by the aid OF her steam
power, after hansen had attained the end he set
out accomplish might just as easily nave returned
cae the fact that the pack Ice might have retarded
the passage OF the vessel. but then II Is also pos
sble that the current which Nansen followed was
lip to certain point comparatively free OF pack Ice.
But OF course this Is purely theory; but think II
explains the likelihood of the first report. and now
later and contirmatory report Of Nansens safety,
coming from the Siberian country. Communication
in these northern regions Is more rapid than one Is
likely to suppose. and at the present moment am
quite prepared to accept the truth OF the dispatches
Il am Influenced. too. in this Judgment by the
knowledge and experience Of Nansen OF the condi-
tons OF Arctic explorations. and by his indomtabe
courage and determination His remarkable jour
ney across Greenland never be lost sight OF. and
extreme | am fully prepared to hear that he has
safely through It. and with success"
