Amundsen Here to Buy
Hydroaeroplanes For Use
in Next Polar Expedition

New York, Nov. 81. Roaln d
Amundsen, South Polar explorer, is
here to buy two hydroaeroplanes for
use in his 1918 expedition into North
Polar regions, he said on his arrfvai
at this port to-day on the Danish
steamer Frederik VIII from Copen-
hagen. The flying machines, he said,
would be constructed so as to travel
over smooth ice as well as on water
and will be used for interior explora :
tions starting from the ship which
will carry the party. The vessel will
be constructed, he said, so that the
planes can rise from and land on its
decks. The explorer added that an
other purpose of his visit here was to
buy food supplies for his trip in this
country because prices in Europe were
prohibitive.
Amundsen said his ship would be
ready for launching in March and
that the work of equipping her would
begin in July 1917 but that no effort
would be made to get away before
the following year so he might have
plenty of time to complete his prep
arations. The start was originally
planned for 1917 but was delayed on
account of the war.
