DETAILS OF svERDRUP's EXPEDITION

Christiania. Norway. Sept 20-Captain Otto
Sverdrup. who reached Stayanger yesterday
from the arctic regions on the steamer Fran, in
an interview with a representative Of The As
sociated Press. gave the following details of his
expedition:
spent the winter of 1S9S-'99 in winter quar-
ters at Eliesmereand. whence scientific expedi-
tions We're started with sledges- The summer OF
1899 was unfayorable and the Fran was obliged
to return and pass the winter at Ellesmereland
a great part of the surrounding region was
mapped out.
There was serious fire on board the Fran in
May. 1900. II was started by sparks from the
funnel and spread TO the kayaks (arctic canoes),
which were sneared with paraffin for their pro-
lection. The rigging and nasts caught ire, and
the total destruction of the vessel was threat
ened: but We succeeded in mastering the fiames.
In August. 1900 traversed Jones's Sound
and Cardigan Strait and took up winter quar-
tiers at 764S north and SO west The region
was rich in reindeer and polar wolves. of which
We brought back here living specimens
The following winter was more than ordinarily
cold and stormy, the average temperature being
H. degrees below zero Sledge expeditions occu-
pied the spring and summer OF ISVl ana tne
early part OF 1902
On August 8 the Fran succeeded in breaking
away from the ice, and arrived at GodhaVen
on August IS. We left Cape Farewell home
ward bound on August Is.
CAPTAIN Sverdrup added that the members Of
the expedition met no EsQuimaus in the regions
visited but he said that many Of their dwell
ings belonging TO former periods, were SEEN
A well known professor, Yngvar Nielsen, de-
duoes from Captain Sverdrup's discovery of de-
serted Esduirnau encampments that the north

beings to exist in the arctic archipelago must

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
EVELYN r. BALDWIN GIVES AN IN
TERESTING ACCOUNT OF HIS
EXPERIENCES.

London Sept. 2o-Evelyn b. Baldwin, OF the
galdwin-Ziegler arctic expeditions. arrived III
London to-day his way home. He had h''ie
20 add 10 what has already been told regaroine
his experiences, but he gave extended detais ol
technical interest to arctic navigation OF the
work accomplished and the stations established
The most southerly is on Alger Island, elshl
miles north of the Jackson Harmsworth expedl-
-ious former headquarters A second station
is on Greely Island, close to the eighty-firsl
,srallel near a large island which charted
Las, spring and named President Mckinley ISL
end. Thirty-fve miles further north is a third
s-,tion. equipped with five thousand pounds OF
condensed food on an island not yet named
sourth and most northerly station was estao-
,;sbed on Rudolf Land. within sight of the head
Quarters which We're occupied by the Duke OF
the Abruzzfs expedition. 1t contains all the
condensed stores originally intended for dash
TO the pole
The expedition for the first time in polar ex-
r,Ioration Mr. Baldwin added, secured COM
n,ete photographic records of the snow and ice
conditions of the regions traversed. They in
clude moving pictures.
Mr. Baldwin gave interesting account of his
iournev TO Cape Norway, where he came upon
DR. Nansen's hut, the place where Nansen and
Johansen spent their historic winter. The hut
Nansen's record was intact. 1t was found in a
brass cylinder. and was dated May 49, 1896. and
WAS written in pencil on half sheet of note
paper Mr. Baldwin has the Nansen record, ana
left his own record in its place
Later the America, Mr.. Baldwins snip. was IN
imminent peril of being crushed by icebergs,
but she escaped by putting on all available
steam.
While in the arctic regions, Mr. Baldwin re-
leased three hundred balloons which were
driven northward and may later furnish DATA
regarding air and sea currents Each balloon
has attached 10 it an automatic buoy addressed
10 the Nearest American Consul
The expeditions start for home was attended
by exciting incidents. 1t necessary to
charge the heavy ice drifts. blast them with
dynamite and saw channel through the ice.
The America was caught IL a violent ice field,
her screw and rudder were twisted, and her
propeller frame was broken.
The expedition had another exciting expert
ence in pack further south. Two members of
the expedition unarmed and pony sledge,
were set upon by huge white bears. The pony
bolted and the men were defenceless- With
great presence of mind they clambered on top
of an iceberg and escaped the other side to
the ship.
Mr.. Baldwin described fights between dog
teams and herds of walrus. and in conclu-
sion. said:
The old idea of an open polar sea is baseess.
We know that land extends far as 81 de-
grees on the Franz Josef Land side, and from
there I believe the pole can be reached agree
reaching the pole is by sledging from that
point.
