liv's appearance to indicate the joyous
mission, and 1t actually got some
what ill-natured welcome. Capt. Holm
of the Hobby watched the dingy ship
come up the harbor straight to his
own anchorage, and thought 1t was
coming too close to his boat. He
waved it away, with a fine display Of
fluent Norwegian language and some
references TO the bad seamanShip of
it's skipper.
None of us paid the slightest atten-
ton to the newcomer, until three
guests, foXhunters whom we had
picked up q few days ago at Danes
Island, lettering aft, spotted the fur
clad forms of the flyers on the deck of
the Sjoeliv. They called to US, who
are those strangers aboard that sealer?
In an instant the name "Amundsen
Amundsen" went catapulting through
our boat, bringing every man aboard
to the nearest portfolio in the twin
king Of an eye. Within 10 seconds
the news had penetrated to every cor.

Forthwith everybody aboard the

down onto the Sjoeliv's deck. From the

poured out of the Heimdal, including
all the group brought from Norway a
day before to man and care for the
airplane rescue expedition.

out to Amundsen. For the love of
God, how did you get here?"
Similar questions, endlessly dupli-
Gated. sprang from every pair uf lips
in the rapidly increasing crowd. No
body waited for a reply, and Amund-
sen seemed puzzled as to how to get
an answer across the hubbub. Finally
he pointed a thumb toward the deck of
the S5oeliv and called out, first in
Norwegian and then in English, This
ship and the N-25."
Words Inadequate.
Then suddenly everybody turned
his questioning 10 the N-25, and
Amundsen had to explain in foghorn
voice that she had been left fast on
the Ice at North Cape, 100 miles away.
II I seem to dwell unduly on those
first moments of Amundsen's arrival
and our welcome to him, 1t Is because
seldom does fate grant to mere men
the opportunity to experience such
Joy as was ours in those early and
marvellous moments. Words are well
nigh inadequate to express our feel
ings at the magic temperance OF
those six men, whose fate has been
constantly upon our hearts and minds

somebody asked me, seeking the same
reinsurance.
We babbled with giadness and
touched each one Of our returned com
rades fondly and sacredly with our
hands.
After what seemed long time, but
was really only q few minutes, the
happy greeting ended. Some one
slipped a ladder down from the dock
to the ships deck and one by one the
six flyers clambered up to terra ffrma

of the work which we had done in
leveling a starting place along the
frozen surface.
In view of this serious possibility.
we decided on the morning of the
18th to make starting trials with
greatly reduced load, without
waiting further to lengthen the clear
ed area.
We discarded nearly all our equip
ment. keeping only a minimum OF
food stores and the smallest possible
quantity of gasoline to proceed
southwark to our base.
The start was successful.
Our course was set for Spitbergen
at 10:40 am. After an exciting flight,
partly through fog, we reached North
Cape, the northern point of North
eastland. a large island forming the
northeastern part of Spitbergen. Our
flight to this spot required hours
and 35 minutes.

We landed on North Cape, await

alton of our flight with our remain
ing 120 liters go gallons) of gasoline.
This would only be sufficient to take
us to some spot westward, where
we would be within range of the
steamer Hobby's patrol area. Dur
| ing our return trip we continued
carefully to make similar observa-
tions to those which we had made
on the way north. But on account
of the fog, we estimated that we OBJ
served not more than $4,000 square
kilometers along our return route.
Thus. up and back, the expedition
has made observations on $4,000
square kiIometers Of hiterto unex-

Rice county of which Faribault

There are also a number of excel

the needs of the tourist.
In addition to its lakes, good
roads and resorts, all perfectly typ
ical of Minnesota, Faribault is locat-
ed in the heart of one of the great
est agricultural sections of the
state, and again the tourists get a
glimpse of another of Minnesota's
leading industries. With its many
schools, colleges and institutions of

propriately called the athens of

well planned and has several beauti-
tul drives within its limits, all of
which supplement the other attrac-
tons of the community.
