steamer Frithjof passed Honningsvaag
Sept. 3, returning to Tromsoe. The
Frithjof, on board of which was Will
liam S. Champ, secretary of William
Ziegler, in connection with his arctic
expeditions, left Tromsoe, Norway,

Champ was to take the Frithjof back
to Tromsoe after leaving the Frithjot
expedition at Franz Josefland, but
when the Frithjof was spoken Aug. IA
by the sealing yacht Soeblomsten, she
had not been able to reach Franz
JOsefland. In recent interview Mr..
Ziegler explained that the Frithjot
party would pass the winter at Franz
Josefland and would make the
expedition independent Of Mr.. Bald

IF the Frithjof reaches Camp Ziegler
all right and the new expedition starts
next spring, Baldwin will receive
orders to proceed to Camp Ziegler as
soon as he can next summer. He will
remain there through the winter and
will go north to relieve the other eX
petition, or to find the pole in the
spring of 1904" If things turn out that
way BaldWin's expedition will, in u
sense, be a relief expedition for the
one carried on the FrithjOf. Mr.. Champ
will bring the Frithjof back to from
