in the morning the mans heart was
sounded and tested, after which chloro-

The operation took only half min

Artificial respiration was tried, and
at 8 80 o'clock a tracing OF the beats
was taken. At 1880 the heart ceased
to beat.
At the post-mortem examination 1t
was found that death was caused by
tumor on the right side OF the brain
and that this would have nothing to
do with respiration ceasing while the
heart remained beating.

his opinion that so long as his heart

after he had spent two years in push
Ing around the eastward arctic pas
sage from Norway. The explorer left

Will Install Wireless on Ship.
The Maud has no wireless apparat-
us, but Captain Amundsen expects to
install one when the craft is brought
here some time this summer to be re-
paired and refitted. Captain Amund-
sen explained that his party had been
cut of from communication with other
human beings for two years, with but
one break-his trip out to Nome last
year.
THE war was In Its most critical
period when we left the world" he re-
called, "and for months we speculated
In vain on the course Of events. 1t
was December, 1919, more than a year
after the signing OF the nrmistice, that
we met n Russian trader who told us
what had happened. Then l deter
mined we would carry wireless"
To Sail Next Summer.
Captain Amundsen said he would
spend the next year in the United
States, probably most of it around
Seattle, and would sail from this port
next summer.
The last voyage tended only to con-
firm his previous theories about mag
netic properties of the polar basin, the
explorer affirmed. He expressed faith
in his belief that an ocean current run
ming northeasterly from Cape Serdze
would carry him past the pole and
eventually into the Atlantic ocean.
"It will take three years-perhaps
longer" he predicted.
Captain Amundsen said that an Inn
portant part of his equipment consist
ed Of books, hundreds Of them.

The Maud's crew includes DIR. II. V.

G. Olonikin and seven natives. They
