Prof. Nansen has expressed his views
on the proposed Nathorst expedition as
follows: II think the expedition is called
| for, and its general plan is practical and
easy to carry out If Andree is still
alive, he must be searched for, in the
| first place. on the east coast of Green
land. 1t is quite probable that he is
there, and we must not rest until that
region has been searched. If another
year is allowed to pass, it may be too late.

The story about the finding of the re-
mains of Andree and his companions
rests upon a shaky basis. But it is given
below in the same form as reported by "a
| well-known sportsman named Kjalen -
and published in the Siberian Advertiser:
Il hasten to inform you that Andree's
balloon has been found. I was running
on snowshoes after elks in the primeval
forests of South Yemisei, and came
across traces of Andree. It was $50
versts (234 miles) from Krasmoiarsk and
100 versts (67 miles) from the gold wash
ings in Sanvinch. The balloon and ropes
were torn and three bodies lay at it's
| side, one with a broken skull. Please
prepare assistance so the balloon and
| bodies can be brought to the washings at
| Sanvinich, which can only be done by
| means of snowshoes. guarantee the
truth of these facts and shall soon be in
Tomsk." The governor Of Yenseik, under
date of Krasnoiarsk (Russia), Feb. 49,,
|telegraphs that the report of the diScov-
cry of the bodies of Andree and his two
! companions cannot be confirmed. A min
| ing inspector, who is energetic and in
| telligent, was sent to investigate the
matter. He made an exhaustive search
along the upper river and dispatched ski
| runners into the adjacent country, but
was unable to find any trace of the mis-
! sing men. - &..r' -,
