NEW SHIP CHOSEN
 FOR RELIEF WORK
AmundSen SearCherS to Trans. fer to Heimdall

Advent Bay Spitzbergen, June Is. R>-The Norwegian governments searching expedition for the Amud- Ellsworth north pole explorers will transfer to the Norwegian pat rol ship HeimdalI, 1t has been an- nounced.
 Commander Hagerup, who has had charge of one of Amudsen's auxiliary ships, the Farm, will com mand the HeimdaIl relief expedition and the Farm will be taken over by the Annual Scientific expedition un- der Professor Adolf Hoels Of Oslo, the Norwegian capital.
 The Heimdall, 540-ton boat in the fishery protection service of the Nor wegian government, Is expected to arrive at Advent Bay at any hour from Finmarken, northern Norway.
 Lieutenant Lutzow Holm, control officer of the flying squad which ar rived here with two seaplanes on the Norwegian steamer lngertre, confer red today with Commander Hagerup aboard the Farm. The plan had been for the ayiators to reconnoitre along the southern edge of the Arc tic icepack in an attempt to locate members of the Amundsen party. which started from Kings Bay, spitz- bergen, in two flying boats for the North Pole on May 21.
 Commander Hagerup reported to Lieutenant Holm that mountains of ice have now formed in the icepaek, making 1t extremely dangerous to fly oyer it, He said 1t would be pre- ferable to employ more patrol ships, rather than to use airpanes, in the search. The present plan is for the Teimdall 10 cruise to the north and for the tliers to attempt to recon noitre as they originally intended. Tn this way the Heimdall will be avail able for relief to Lieutenant Holm and his companions is necessary.
