SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April II
| When Capt. ROAD Amundsen sails
from San Francisco next spring Tor
his FIVE years DRIFT with the ice pack
! across the northern edge OF the
world, he will carry In the hold or
his ship, the Fran, two hydroplanes
tor use in North Pole exploration
work. They will cost $1,000 each.
Capt Amundsen ordered the ma
chimes recently from Aviator Silas
| ChristofYersen. who took the explorer
on a trial trip-the first time the dis
coverer OF the South pole had ever
| ridden in an aircraft.
Amundsen squared the knowledge
! that he gained in this flight with his
experience in Arctic exploration, ana
came TO the conclusion that the air
and water craft would be an invalu-
able aid in taking observations o.
winds and air currents from varying
attitudes.
Amundsen will train his crew to the
use OF the hydroplane. When the
Fran arrives here to fl out for it's
long journey, Thorwald Nilsen. cap
tain OF the vessel; Knute Sundbeck,
the chief engineer, and Hilmer Hamf-
fen, who accompanied Amundsen OH
his trip to the South pole, will be
given course OF instruction in aero
plane work by Christoffersen.
Once on the ice fields the aero.
planes Will be equipped with ice run
ners as well as pontoons. The ma

rying power and fuel!
In reply 10 the captains questions,
Christoffersen reminded him that gas
oline would not freeze al any temper
ature. and that the heat OF the engine
would keep the water ia the radiator
from freezing.
When the captain asked about the
practicability OF equipping the crai'

showed him the two smooth strips
with which his hydro-aeroplane Is pro
vlded.
The question of portability seemed
easy. for the aviator showed that one
OF his machines eau be assembled OF

space In four or five hours.

/ The best use OF an aeroplane IN
the Arctic said Capt. Amundsen
would be in spying. out the land
ahead. although II should prove IN
valuable for the exact purpose OF my

TO the crows nest the best We can dc
Is 10 get an outlook OF perhaps i.
miles. This is not enough. The aero
plane should prevent all that. IL We
| can get an outlook from an altitude
| OF a few hundred feet, We can spy
out the course ahead for many miles
with the aid of a strong glass, and
feel reasonably sure that we are on
the right track"
AS Capt. Amundsen intends to let
/ the Fran freeze in the Ice pack and
drift with the currents until he comes
ont into the Atlantic side, il is impos
sible for him to tell whether he will
cross the North pole
With this latest scheme, however
II is probable that he will be able 10
! fly from the ships side over and
! around the Pole when point OF
vantage is reached. In this way. he
, can get more accurate idea OF all
that lies around the pole than any
other explorer has been able TO do.

man who has visited both ends OF the
| earth
"Meget Behagelif!"
That is what Capt. ROAD Amund-
sen said, when he discovered the
South pole. He said the same thing
when he climbed out OF Silas Christot-
fersen's hydro-aeroplane, after flight
around San Francisco bay prepara-
tory to series OF experiments.
"Meget Behagelif' is a Norwegian
expletive. used only on rare occa-
sions, such as discovering poles ana

As the nose OF the pontoon was in
the water. the two seats OF the ma
chine could be reached only by some
agile footwork in ducking under the
lower plane and timing the pulse OF
the little waves which leaped the
shore

action the dynamic reserve OF the
man-only suggested in his altitude or

out so much as fiecking his resplen-
dent new shine.
AS bit OF wind was putting from
the heads, Christoffersen rode the
waves for quarter Of a mile before
veering into the face of the breeze
and taking the air.
The Golden Gate stood out like an
intagio cut in jade.
Christoffersen went through his en-
tire repertoire. He jockeyed his big
bird up and down and across the bay,
climbed into the higher reaches OF
sunlight and shot down perilousiy
near the tumbling waves, which be-
gan TO swell higher, after the start
was made.
When Capt. Amundsen climbed ont
of the machine, the salt wind had
whipped him in the face until thS
tears ran down his cheeks.
He quizzed Christoffersen closely as
to the question OF portability, adapta-

days sunshine. Morrow fairly exudes
good humor. You just can't help Tx
ing him. Miss Harries. too, has way
about her that naturally appeals and
she more than holds up her end or
the little comedy
But, to get back TO the laughing
song. IL has a rather interesting his
tory. The music is an adaptation OF
an old French polka that was In
vogue 40 years ago and was much
used by variety actors OF that day
for incidental music. The words were
written by big Bill" Devere, now de-
ceased, an actor who, In his last years,
Was wildly known as tramp poet.
Morrow and Devere first introduced II
when they were playing together in
one OF the old Hoyt farces. Later
Morrow introduced 1t In vaudeville
and he's been using II ever since. Sew
eral times he has attempted to dis
card the number, but managers would
insist on his retaining it. And Mr..
Morrow, being the most accommodate
Ing chap In the world, has graciously
yielded to their Judgment.
Mr.. Morrow and Miss Harries are
best remembered by Miles patrons In
their western playlet. "Happys Mil
