FINISH EQUIPPING
 EXPLORING SHIP
Captain RQald Amundsen Ready
 for South Pole

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 23--Final pro visioning and equiping of the eXplor- ing ship Maud, in which Captain Roald Amundsen, noted Norwegian explorer and discoverer of the South Pole will resume his interrupted Arc tic expedition next May, is being completed as the stout little ship lies in the land locked waters of Lake Union here.
 A smashed propeller blade, lost in the ice off the northeastern Siberian coast, last year, forced Captain Amundsen to bring the Maud to Seat tie for repairs When the journey is resumed the vessel will carry four eX- may cause only a temporary halt to the expedition. The Maud will carry provisions for seven years although the explorer does not expect the trip to occupy more than five years at the most
 The most important of the Mauds equipment, in Captain Amundsens opinion, will be the two airplanes, purchased in Norway and shipped here recently and which will be used in the making of extensive geographic and photographic surveys for a thous- and miles on either side of the yes sells track through the northern seas. The primary purpose of the eXpedi- tion, which is operating under the auspices of the Norwegian govern ment, is to study the movement of the Arctic ice pack the effect of ocean currents, magnetic influences and other phenomena of the polar re- gions. The airplanes Captain Amund- sen expects, will be of great value in this work. He said that he would probably use them to reach the North Pole should his plan to drift past the pole with the ice pack prove not feasible. A wireless equipment in stalled aboard the Maud will be used to broadcast a message when he reaches the top of the world.
 Captain Amundsen expects to strike Immediately into the outward or northern drift of the ice as it leaves l,ering Sea next spring, and to swing with the northeaesterly current early in the summer.
 With the explorer will be Captain Oskar Visiting, sailing master who stood at his side 'on" the South Pole; G. Olonkin, engineer; Dr. H. V. Sver- Norwegian aviators and a crew of six Siberian natives who joined the Maud in 1920.
