The temperature was lo.4 degrees fahrenheit.
 Five flags were dropped - one American. one Norwegian. and three Italian. This, partly in view of Poary's prior claim for the United States, had less significance than Amundsen's plan of dropping a flag on any land discovered further south, as an airbase of inestimable value, connecting Europe, Asia and 1 America.
 American Is Ignored I Roman newspapers hailed the crossing of the pole by the Norge as 1 q Norwegian and Italian triumph, scarcely mentioning Lincoln Els worth. the only American aboard, one of the three leaders, whose A. nancial backing made the fight pos sible.
