TWO YEARS IN THE ICE
Eight Explorers Leaving
Norway in Small Boat Are
Now Due at San Francisco

Henry Lund, resident Consul at this
port for Sweden and Norway, has noti-
fed Customs Collector Stratton OF an
important polar expedition, the issue
of which will be watched with inter-
est by mariners and scientists all the
world over. The letter is as follows:
have been requested to draw the attention
Of the United States authorities to an expedi-
tfon OF eight that in 1908 left Norway on
board a little sloop Gjoa (forty-seven registered
tons), in command of Captain Roald Amund-
sen, with the purpose OF taking minute obser-
vations to establish the present exact location
of the magnetic north pole located by Sir
James Ross in 1881 on the peninsula Of Boo
thia Felix. north OF this continent. After con-
Guiding this exploration Captain Amundsen
will endeavor to penetrate the much sought
for Northwest Passage and come out next
autumn or that Of next year via Behring
Strait TO this port

draw the attention OF the captains OF your
revenue cutters going into the North Pacific
and Arctic waters to the above. and should
they happen to come across the Gjoa or any
of its men and they should be in want OF as

LINER MARIP0SA RETURNS
To PACIFIC-STREET WHARF
WILL DEPART TOMORROW
Overdue German Ship Chill Safely
Reaches Destination.

The Oceanic Steamship Companys
liner Mariposa. Captain Lawless. which
sails tomorrow for Tahiti. came off
Hunters Point drydock yesterday and
was towed to her berth at Pacific
street wharf. While on the drydock.
in addition to being scraped and paint
ed. she was fitted with new propeller
and tail shaft.
The MaTiposa has been made famous
all over the world by the tourists who
have enjoyed the voyage to the South
Seas. Clean as a sailing Yacht and
comfortable as any private steamer,
the run she makes is one of the most
delightful in the world. No matter
what the weather here may be when
she leaves, ii is only a matter Of hours
TIL she strikes summer, and in summer
she travels until her return. Never
cold and never too hot, passengers are
able to live outdoors in the bracing sea
air from the time the Mariposa leaves
the cool land breeze behind until she
runs into it upon her return. Sea-
sickness on this voyage is almost un-
known and, as she did when she was
running TO Australia, the Mariposa
keeps to her schedule with the punctu-
ality of the sun.
She is taking a large number of pas
sengers on the coming trip and viii
carry fairly large cargo.
