Matters of Moment From tbs
Far-Off Northiand

In May Captain Road Amundsen,
with crew of seven men, will steer
the Gjora, for the Arctic regions. He
will seek to relocate the magnetic
pole, which is somewhat shifty, and has
not been accurately located since 1881.
He will have with him the most mod
ern of self-registering magnetic and
meteorological instruments and will
chart the coasts he cruises by as we'll
as making geological explorations.
The expedition is planned to con-
sumo four years, but will be pro-
visioned for six years. The first
station will be established in Lancas-
ter sound, where a part of the crew
will be stationed to take observations.
About $4,000 has been raised for this
venture, of which King Oscar has per-
sonally contributed $4,000 and the
Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land $500.
Captain Amundsen is only 80 years
old and has made one successful ex-
petition in the Antarctic regions. His
second in command will be Lieutenant
GOdfred Hansen, p years of age. The
other members will be Anton Lund
and Helmer Hansen, skilled harpOon-
lists, Sergeant Peter Ristveldt, ma
chinist; Gustav J. Wiki, assistant;
and Andrew Petersen, steward.
The eighth member will be a ply
sician Of scientific bent.
The Gjoa is a small vessel but is not
a stranger to Arctic dangers and has
proven herself a stanch little craft. 1t
has, however, been greatly strength
ened and is well equipped in every
direction The scientific instruments
alone cost $4,000. Captain Amundsen
has been planning the expedition for
four years past and the details are
doubtless very complete.

his judgment of the man as we'll as on

toner who offered the skeleton I guess
l would have managed some way to let
