ANUNDSEN0 ON
DARING FLIGHT
Believe Explorer on His Way
Across North Pole From
Northern Alaska

COPENHAGEN. Sept. ~ (By
The Associated Press)-It is gener-
ally believed here that Captain
Ronald Amundsen, Norwegian ex-
plorer. already has undertaken his
daring high. across the North Pole
from Northern Alaska. This belief
is further strengthened by the fact
that the Norwegian government has
asked the well known Danish en-
plorer. Captain Gottfried Hansen to
undertake a relief expedition.
Captain Hansen, who is busy
working out a scheme for the explo-
ration of western Greenland next
spring. is unable to accede 10 the
request. but in an interview empha-
sized the necessity of sending an ur
gent relief expedition to pick up
Amundsen, whose airplane crossing
in his opinion. is extraordinarily
dangerous. it being virtually impos-
BILE to land anywhere on the rough
polar ice without serious accident.
1t is reported that a relief expe-
dition under the leadership of an
explorer friends of Capt Hanson will
leave this port on Oct. 1 on the
steamship Hane Egede.
