ANUNDSEN TRIP
RECALLS OTHER
VOYAGE
Five Explorers Marooned on
Ice FIoes in 1879 Are
Still Alive
by international News Service.

STOCKHOLM, July 1S.-The
plight of Captain Roald Amund'
sen, who was marooned in the bar
rem Arctic wastes, has revived
memories of the famous voyage OF
Adolf Erik Nordenskiold on the
Vega.
Although it was forty-five wears
this spring since the Vega returned
to Stockholm from its epoch making
northeast polar passage. north OF
Siberia and through Behring'S Strait
to Japan, five members of the ex-
petition are still alive. At the re-
cent unwilling of a monument on
the grave of Admiral Louis Palan-
DER, who as a young naval officer
commanded the ship, four of them
were present.
The entire winter of 1889
these men spent frozen into the
Arctic ice floes, and their voyage,
lasted from June %. 1878 when
the Vega left the Swedish naval
station at Karlskronal until April
"a. 1880, when it was received with
royal honors in the port OF Stock
holm. 1t had been the first ship
TO sail around the world. north OF
Europe and Asia, and back through
the Suez Canal.
Surviving MembcTS.
The surviving members OF the
scientific staff are Oscar r
Nordqvist, now head Of the Fish
cries Bureau in the Department OF
Agriculture, and DR.. Ernst r.
Almquist, professor emeritus OF
the Upsala University. OF the
crew the following were able to at
tend the ceremonies and be pho

Professor Almquist. who is now
seventy-three years old, was also
there: but Nordqvist, who is only
sixty-seveh, was temporarily indis-
posed. Nordenskiold himself died
twenty-four years ago. while Paland-
er lived long enough to take part
in other expeditions to South Ameri-
ca and Africa. Later he served as
Admiral Of the Fleet and Minister
Of Marine.
Sought New Routes.
The original purpose OF the
Nordenskioli Expedition was to
discover a steamship route from
the mouths OF the Siberian rivers
which flow north into the Arctic
Sea. to the markets Of Western
Europe. AS Siberia is still one of
the worlds principal storehouses
Of such raw materials as lumber
and hides, this traffic may vet be-
come one Of the important trade
routes.
On its trip eastward from from
soc, the Vega was accompanied by
a small steamer, the Lena, which
stopped in Siberia. On August l9
the two ships reached Cape Chiefly
uskin. the northernmost point of
the Old World and never before
reached by any vessel. After fol-
lowing the coast alone for another
month, the Vega was finally frozen
fast in the ice. and, while the
scientists on board continued their
explorations, it lay there until July
1S, 1879. when the ice broke up and
the trip was continued eastward.
Two days later the Behring Strait
was passed, and on September
Nordenskiold was able to send from
Yokohama, in Japan. the thrilling
message that he had cleared the
northeast passage.
