WRANGEL ISLAND
 SHIP GETS HOME
SoViets Bring American Back.-
 Discuss Their Trip
By The Associated Press.

by lIlb tssUtluttu
 Petropavlosk, Kamchatka, Siberia, Oct. 24.--After tempestuous voy- age, the soviet Russian transport, Red October, arrived here today from Wrangel Island with Charles Wells, of Uniontown. Pa, survivor of the expedition which vilhjalmur Stefansson took to the island year ago, and with 12 Eskimo members of the expedition. who are American citizens.
 Professor Davidov, chief of the Russian expedition. explained that Wells and his Eskimo companions were taken off the island because they had no desire to remain and because they had no permit from the soviet government to live or hunt there.
 The Red October ran short of coal in mid Arctic and had a. difficult time in making this port During the survey of Wrangel Island, ac- cording to M Davidow, the soviet expedition found the grave of liar old Noice. who perished there. and also found the flagpole on which the British flag had formerly flown. hay ing been run up to claim British sovereignty. Members of the Rus sion expedition constructed a new pole on which they hoisted the red flag in the name of the soviet re- public.
 According to Professor Davidov, Wells and his companions attempted to flee when they caught sight of the red flag over the island. fearing they would be cast into prison or exc cuted. Their alarm was dispellcd, however, when the soviet officials assured them they did not intend to harm them.
