himself as delighted" when in
formed by The Associated Press
here today that his exploring
schooner, the Maude, had been
located by the coast guard cutter
Bear off the Siberian coast, and
that it would be towed to Nome.
Il hope that the Maude can be
towed to Seattle shortly so that
repairs may be started immediate
ly," Captain Amundsen said. "Of
course" he added, "it will be i'm
possible for me to start on my
Arctic expedition again this year.
But towing of the. Maude to Nome
will nevertheless, save valuable
time.
There was never any question
about the safety of the Maude.
Beyond the loss of her propellors,
the ship was undamaged. She
might have had difficulty in get
ting to Nome under her own sail,
however, as Bearing Strait is mar
row and something might have
happened"
