NEW YORK, Aug. l. The fame
that was Lincoln Ellsworth's when
he was missing near the north pole
with the Amundsen expedition and
Immediately afterward when he was
declared a hero of that exploit, to-
day proved strangely transitory.
When Ellsworth stepped from the

greeting he received, aside that of

The American explorer, who
financed in part the Amundsen at

pleasure at being back on his ma

Heart In North Land
But l left my heart in the north

fail"
In good health and bearing the
marks that stamp the explorer, the

layed, but would be formulated when
Amundsen arrives here September 8.
'I hope the same men who went
with us on the last trip will be along
on the next" Ellsworth said.
The explorer expressed hope that
his plans would include the use of

He contributed more than half of

The first time was when we rode
for three hours through the fog sur
rounded by rainbows in a double
circle with the shadow of our plane
in the center, seeing nothing but
the gray wall all around us, steer

THE second was when 1 felt our

it had been frozen. If it had not
gotten off we should have perished.
