j. s. MAN RESCUED
AMUNDSEN FLYERS
Two Airmen Saved From
Drowning by Ellsworth
Near North Pole.

Olso.-The Dagbladet printed a nom
copyright story outlining some Of the
experiences of the Amundsen North
pole expedition which was missing in
the Arctic for four weeks. The news
paper said the story was based on
messages from the expeditions jour-
nalist.
In narrating their story on arriv-
ing at Kings Bay" says the Dagbladet,
"the flyers, all of whom looked worn
and thin from suffering, said their
weeks upon the ice was like fight
with death.
"AmundSen mentions that the men,
bers of the expedition were separated
for while and that Left Dietrichsen
Norwegian pilot of one of the planes)
and Oskar Omdahl Norwegian mech
anlclan) fell in the water and were
just saved from drowning by Lincoln
Ellsworth, an American Meanwhile
Amundsen and Hjalmar Risser-Larsen
Norwegian plane pilot were on the
other side of the water They heard
them scream, but were unable to help,
as thin Ice prevented using the canvas
boat"
How Flyers Were Picked Up.
Regarding the picking up of the
members of the expedition by the fish
ing boat Sjoeliv, which brought them
to Kings Bay, the Dagbladet's story
says:
The fishing boat Sjoeliv is a small
cutter of twelve tons with a crew of
nine men. Her captain is Nils Wollan.
The vessel had had a poor catch and
was hunting for wounded walrus.
When off Huggle bay, on the north
side of Spitzbergen, the crew heard
motors purring and discovered an air
plane ten kilometers away.
'They at first thought it was an
airplane from the patrol expedition,
but when it neared they Immediately
recognized Amundsen, in spite of his
long beard
"The explorers all quickly got aboard
the Sjoeliv and crowded into the small
berths. There was not much food for
so many-only seal, beef, cider and
eggs. The hawsnr towing the airplane
broke once, but a new one held.
"As Amundsen was told that the
patrol expedition was ready to leave
Kings Bay, he decided to make
for Kings Bay as fast as possible and
leave the plane. WoIlan says this was
the greatest catch he had made in his
fifteen years experience in these re-
gions."
Finds No Land Near Pole.
During the day Amundsen sent a
dispatch to Premier Mowinckel in
forming the premier that, although he
had surveyed 100000 square kilometers
in his flight, there were no indications
of land.
'The cast of the lead in our most
northerly latitude" the message added.
gave $3.50 meters, which leads to the
safe supposition that no land exists
in the Norwegian sector of the Polar
BASIN"
The expeditions meteorologist, NJ
Calwagen, thinks the flight is of great
Importance meteorologically, inasmuch
as Ellsworth took most exact observa-
tons.
Special articles in the newspaper
praise Ellsworth as the man who made
the expedition possible and say ELS
worth will be popular everywhere !;
that he is of the solid American type
and has a charming personality.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CAR
ON-CONTINTTTD

TON-CONTINUED
sgd, you know when I married
Leslie. she cared little for society.
But now she seems happiest when
she IS out with a crowd. She dances
divinely.
tried the other night to monopo-
lie her card and put my initials on
all the dances but two. yet when l
went to get her for the second dance,
I saw a perfectly strange man just
preparing to take her out on the
floor.
Before could even claim my
dance. she said, "Mr. Sartoris, let
me introduce my husband. Jack. 1
am sure you have heard Of Mr.. Mel
vile Sartoris, whose stories are TAX
ing the world by storm. Mr.. Sartoris
has asked me to dance, Jack l told
him that your initials on my card
meant nothing, that you only put
them there so that It would not look
like the card of a wall-nower."
OF course Melville Sartoris, hav-
ing gobs Of words at his tongue s
end. said:
II am sure you are mistaken, Mrs.
Prescott, for I know that no one
realizes more than your husband
that you could never be q wall
flower. No man would let you
through a dance. provided he could
get to you. / am sure Mr.. Prescott
meant to tell all Of us other longing
ones to keep off. I know I should
do so IN his circumstances"
You see, john" said Leslie,
what you did in the first dance.
My husband, Mr.. Sartoris, is a won
derful partner. He probably made
me look like Irene Castle"
And do you know she had the i'm
pudence to blow me a kiss as she
floated off.
/ stood there for a moment like a
fool. I know my mouth was open.
She smiled at me so divinely and
the man looked at her as though
she were, the only woman in the
room.
OF course, knew that no one In
the place knew upon what status
Leslie and I were living together.
but I could not help but feel that
everyone was reading my discom-
future in my face.
There / was, a man who had been
married years and his own wife was
coquetting and flirting with him. 1t
was ridiculous, wasn't It? But, oh.
1t was effective and I fell in love
with her all over again. She was
the one woman In my heart to be
desired. My love became a raging
volcano and I was sill:- enough to
cut in on that dance.
AS Sartoris gave Leslie into nv
arms he said with meaning look.
You see I was right, Mrs. Pres
colt. Your husband does consider
me poacher."
She only laughed and said, "You
dance so well that I hope you will
poach again." And there stood
again while they chaffed a moment
with my mouth open like an ever
lasting fool
Well probably be here about two
weeks longer. Come over and see
your namesake and godson. Also I
would like to have you try and
fathom if Leslie intends to keep me
between heaven and he'll forever.
