Dies of Disease
Sir Ernest Shackleton was another
After life time Of exploration in
the ice fields, he died Of disease on
his ship while at sea near the ant
arctic continent in 1922.
Sir John Franklin was still an
other.
In lS45 he sailed from England
with two ships, the Erebus and the
Terror, to explore north of Green
land. His ship was sighted in Baf-
fin Bay months later by whaler
and then the cold arctic silence set
tied down.
Relief expeditions were sent out
from America and England. 1t was
1853, however, before the secret was
solved. Franklin had died after his
ships became locked in ice. His men
sought to escape over land, and all

Another Victim?

Amundsen, who planted his flag al
the south pole, has gone to the tor
Of the world.
Will he come back? Will he ado

stories Of narrow escapes from the

There is cold goddess who is
hidden among the eternal SHOWS OF
the polar regions, and for every man
who returns from her domain an
other must remain there forever.
Roald Amundsen is somewhere VI
in the white emptiness with his air.
plane.
Will he come back from his trip to
the north pole? Or will he add his
name to the long list Of those who
sought the goddess Of eternal winter
and met the specter of death?
Recalls SCOTS Death
Amundsen's adventure recalls that
Of Captain Robert F.. Scott, whose
tragic adventure was SO closely
bound up with Amundsen's discovery
Of the south pole.
Scott reached the pole, by dog
sledges, just five weeks after
Amundsen did, in 1912. He photo
graphed Amundsen's cairn and flag
and started back.
The antarctic winter struck with
unleashed fury. Food and fuel gave
out. Scott and his men pl0dded or
with frozen feet. Then a blizzard
made progress impossible.
They were only IL miles from /;
supply depot, but they could not
continue. Months later their frozer
bodies were found near a long dead
campfire.

Others, too, found an unseen death
in the polar lands.

ture was that of Swedish aeronaut

The bout Is billed simply as a IL.

Gated by Leonard. but those who do
not bow IN difference TO the New

bout for the championship.
Mandell and Terris are accepted
almost unanimously In boxing circles
as the best of the list of 16 boxers

Unless form goes astray the win.

Terris Is the fastest thing that
has ever been seen In The ring
and II will be his foot speed that
will win for him II he comes out
the victor.
Mandell is faster with his hands
and he can punch harder. He can't
dance and run around the ring with
the fleetness OF Terris. but his speed
Is more effective because he starts
more and gets more drive in his
punches. Compared to anyone hut
