Andres. even II he succeeded in cross

would not be possible for Andre to
have alighted at the pole and then
have resumed his flight and thinks
the hest that he could have done
would have been to cross the pole high
in the air.
His expedition, however, would solve
the question as to the existence II the
open polar sea, which has been tire
subject of some controversy between
Arctic explorers, but beyond being
able to report upon that fact. Andre
probably would have little OF value
TO contribute to the present store OF
knowledge of the far north.
Assuming this pigeon message is
genuine and from Andre. there Is
grave reason To fear for the safety OF
the bold aeronaut. II, following the
line of the meridian upon which he
reported himself. he landed on the
North coast OF Alaska. not TOO iar
east of Point Barrow. he probably
would fall In with some of the whal-
ers who are still Off the coast. or some
of the few natives along the shore.
