up for lost ever since May 80 when
they left the nine men Of the Mobile
group who had been thrown on the
ice when the Italias gondola was
smashed on May %.
With DR.. Malmgren were Captain
Alberto Mariana, pilot of the Italia
and Captain Filippo Zappi, Italian
navy navigator.
Started for Help
These men stayed five days with
the marooned party off Northeast
Land and then decided to make an
effort to reach land and then to trek
across Northeast Land to Kings Bay.
They carried approximately fifty
pounds of provisions, but so far as
known had no arms.
The purpose of the group was TO
reach the Kings Bay base to bring
help back to their comrades who
were stranded near Foyn Island in a
tiny encampment centered about a
small red tent.
No definite word Of them was
heard from the time they left the
other men.
Two Wave Flag
A message was received in Moscow
today stating that the Russian flier
Chukhnovsky, who has been making
flights from the icebreaker Krassin,
now near Foyn Island, made the dis
covery in the course Of a reconnais-
sance flight. Chukhnovsky himself
was recently missing for several days
when he made a forced landing, but
was able to fly back to the base ship
safely.
The Russian airman found DR..
Malmgren and his two companions
at S0.42 north latitude and 25.45 east
longitude which is 20 miles from the
present position of the Krassin. This
is west of Cape Platen, Northeast
Land.
The pilot this afternoon was
searching for a place to make a land
ing near the party in order to pick
them up.
The airman reported that he cir
cled over the men five times. Two
of the party energetically waved a
flag to him. The third was lying
down.
