CAPITAL BIOLOGIST
TO SEEK NORTH POLE
Recent Government Expert to
Go With Stefansson on
Next Expedition.

Fritz Johansen. Norwegian biologist.
until month ago an expert in the De-
partment of Agriculture, has been
booked for the scientific arctic explor-
ing expedition of Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son.
In command of the Karluk, the ship
in which Stefansson hopes to pursue
the quest of the possible million square
miles of Arctic continent. will be Capt.
Robert Bartlett.
Captain Bartlett was the captain for
Admiral Peary, discoverer Of the North
Pole, on the ship Roosevelt. Grown
lonesome for the vast silences of the
frozen North. Capt. Bartlett has al
ready started out of New York. ac-
cording to Information received today
by the National Geographic Society
here-the society which, with the
American Museum of Natural History.
sought to back Stefansson's expedition
until the Canadian government offered
to bear the entire expense.
Specialist On Fish.
Mr.. Johansen. the biologist from this
city, who will be with the exploring
partment of Agriculture for about two
years. He is known as a specialist In
fishes and lower forms of animal life.
He had a part in the Mylius Erichsen
East Greenland expedition. which COM
pleted the mapping of Greenland.
IF this expedition Is successful.
says Stefansson. "it will close forever
the geographical chapter of discoveries
on this earth. which was begun by CO.
lumbus. 1 am going to try TO wipe a
vast area of 100000 square miles on
the face Of the unexplored map.
I'VE shall sail north along the itlst
meridian to fisd the hypothetical land
II we do not find 1t. we shall turn oack-
1t may we'll be- how ever. that on re-
turning, IL we miscalculate at all, we
shall be caught in the ice. frozen in for
the winter, and drift involuntarily
wherever that dense area OF Ice packed
tightly about our ship happens to take
in a circle between Asia and the north
pole. thus doing involuntarily what
Amundsen intends to do purposely
year after we start. II may we'll be
that in that drifting in the northern ice,
the men of his and our expedition will
meet.
Anticipates No Danger.
"If the world does not hear from us
In all that time. il will mean that We
have miscalculated in the manner /
have mentioned and are caught IN the
pack ice on our way back.
II do not anticipate any great dan
ger in such a case. 1t was IN view OF
such a contingency that I was anxious
to get a man like Captain Bartlett to
take command of our ship. He Is
man who is not afraid of hurting his
ship. and not eager to save IL at the
expense Of the expedition. He goes
cheerfully into such a hazard. risking
the crushing OF his stout vessel in the
gigantic tightening grasp of the ice
that will freeze for miles and miles
around it. II the worst came to the
worst and the ship were crushed to
bits. we could still walk Or sledge
across the ice to safety.
Nor do / fear the danger OF short
age of supplies in such a case, for
there is plenty of game in the Arctic
on which we can live"
