SHIP CRUSHED BY ICE

The wonders. perils. and scientific
riches OF the Arctic region were de
scribed at National Rifles armory last
night hy Anthony Fiala leader of the
Fiala-Zeigler expedition. The party
commanded by Mr. Fiala spent nearly
two years in that desolate country and
had almost been given up for lost when
the relief ship found it and brought it
back to safety and civilization.
Mr. Fiala delivered his lecture of last
evening before the National Geographic
Society of Washington. of which the sec
ond in command OF his expedition. W. J.
Peters. is a member. and was a repre-
sentative with the party
Made on America.
The voyage TO the Arctic was nude in

sail and steam power and especially bull
warked against the crushing impact of

az Cape Flora. Franz Josef land. the
good ship made its way through the
packs II was in 1904 that the America
was lost-crushed 10 pieces almost un-
der the grinding weight OF the bergs.
She did not sink. for the ice forced her
out between and above its Jagged masses
and she disappeared in the darkness and
storm of the long Arctic night.
Il have no idea now where the good
ship is, said Mr. Fiala. She may
have gone TO the bottom. or she may
be floating around now. somewhere in
the regions surrounding the pole. like
