Thirsty Engines OF
Arctic Ship Demand
Whale Oil
lz;.. b. n h d 3 q q q 3

How many miles to whale,
not how many miles to a gal
lon, is the problem Of naviga-
tion with the "Bowdoin," ac-
cording to Commander Donald
B. Macmillan, leader of the
Macmillan Arctic Expedition
under the auspices of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Oil burning engines of most
modern ships are a bit particu-
lar about their diet. Heavy
Texas they demand, but the
"Bowdoin" engines are omniv-
orous. With almost mathemati-
cal precision, Commander Mac
MILAN knows that if he can get
so many miles on q whale, he
requires a certain number Of
walruses and a small herd of
seal to get an equal distance.
The "Bowdoin" burns seal oil,
walrus oil, whale oil and pc
troleum with equal facility.
Macmillan does not anticipate
having to harpoon mileage,
since the ship will carry full
tanks of oil @om Wiscasset, but
the Arctic is land of eYner
gencies, so no safety factor is
overlooked.

ed miners gone, but with a de.
termination to bring to the surface
today all Of the bodies Of the vic
tins, believed instantly killed when
a series of explosions occurred in
the mine Wednesday.
Meanwhile, relatives remained at
their vigil, still hoping that there
may yet be a spark of life down
below the 1900 foot level where
rescue workers are now digging.
Mothers, fathers and girls but
recently married, fingered in the
front line awaiting the call that
will take them to the khaki tent
to view the bodies.
The mine has been penetrated to
its full depths, and exploring. parties
expected to reach the
emainder of the dead poketed in
minor passages.
The effects of the gas are max
ing rescue conditions more intoler-
able, as the rescuers are unable to
withstand the odors for any length
Of time.
The problem Of Identification has
also become increasingly difficult.
Where the features Of the dead are
not charred, they now are so
swollen that in one case even a
father refused to state positively
that the man before him was his
own son.
With the end of the rescue work
in sight, plans Of relief work for
the destitute families were under
way.
According to estimates, forty
widows and about seventy-five
orphans are left as a result Of the
catastrophe.
The miners carried little, if any,
insurance protection.
American Red Cross officials,
Adjutant General j. B. Van Metts,

Announcement of Amundsen's
Plans AIIays Fear for
Safety of Explorers
BY international News Service.


OSLO, Norway, May 29.-Con-
tinued fair weather in the Polar
zone, and the knowledge that Cap
tain Roald Amundsen expected to
make more extensive observations
at the pole than was at first be-
lieved, served to allay today the
fears that have been expressed
as to his safety.
Latest dispatches from Spitz-
bergen, where Amundsen and his
companions hoped off on their
daring aerial dash to the pole last
Thursday, stated that members of
his base party did not favor start
ing any search for the missing ex-
plorers until at least two weeks
have elasped.
Obeying Last Instructions.
Amundsen's instructions. accord.
ing to Lieutenant Horgen. a men,
Der of the party stilt.at Spitzbergen
were that if he was not heard from
for fourteen days, the steamer
Hobby was to go eastward and the
steamer Farm, westward along the
ice barrier.
If a six weeks search produced
no result, the ships were to return
on the presumption that Amundsen
was directing his course to Cape
Columbia, approximately $50 miles
north Of Greenland.
These instructions indicated that
Amundsen started out on his
spectacular dash with the firm in
tention Of making observations that
would require considerable time.
