insane is mad, but a person whose

literally-such as mad with pain"

From Pole by
Wireless Plan

Captain Amundsen's schooner Maud,
on which he hoped TO drift past the
pole with the ice foes, was disabled
by broken propeller off Cape Siberia,
AFTER he had spent two years in push
ing around the eastward arctic pas
sage from Norway. The explorer left
ms vessel and crew to await break

ter coming to Seattle on a recent ship.
Will Install Wireless on Ship.
The Maud has no wireless apparat-
US. but Captain Amundsen expects to
install one when the craft Is brough:
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. Ii
was December, 1919, more than a year
after the signing Of the armistice, that
we met Russian trader who told us
what had happened. Then / 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.
1T will take three years-perhaps
longer" he predicted.
Captain Amundsen said that an i'm
portant part of his equipment consist
ed of books, hundreds of them.
II read mostly felton," he said.
The Maud's crew includes DIR. II. v.
Sverdup, scientist; Oscar Visiting,
G. Olonikin and seven natives. They
left Norway in 1918 and remained bur-
led in the ice 10 months.
