A SERIOUS UNDERTAKING

Notwithstanding aviators have
flown across the continent, 2700 miles
in 26 hours and As % seconds, they
might well hesitate to fly with Road
Amundson from Wainwright, Alaska.
across the North Pole to Spitzbergen
though it is estimated the distance
may be covered in % hours. For at
least part of the distance across con-
tincnt it was possible to pick up land
marks and had they been compelled
to alight the ground in most places
would seem more inviting tan the
Arctic ice fields. Moreover Amund-
sen is not an aviator but a sailor.
The brilliant record of this eXplor-
err is assurance that SO far forth as it
is possible all arrangements will be
carefully made and all contingencies
anticipated but there will be the habit
of happening, which the unexpected
is supposed to have. And the unex-
pected in a Wild waste of ice is not
pleasant to contemplate.
1t is said that Amundsen's old
friend, Captain Donald Macmillan,
is apprehensive for the safety of his
friend and the pilot on this adventure
but good luck has hitherto followed
all Of AmuEdsens adventures. If he
may reach the Norwegian edge of the
polar ice there will be sea-planes
awaiting him should anything happen
there, but an accident out over the
rough ice of the polar cap would be a
serious difficulty to negotiate.
