Masterful Feat
Then Saturday night the Swedish
air relief expedition with the great
airplane Upland in the lead, swung
to the Mobile position and indicated
a landing would be made. The
Swedish airplane swung low and the
pilot carefully picked spot that
was smooth and brought his ma
chine to a stop. 1t was a master
piece of acronautic skill.
1t was decided that Mobile and
his injured comrade should be i'm
mcdiately taken to the Quest and
given medical aid
The Quest was anchored in Hon
lopen straits and the Swedish plane
carried the explorer to that vessel.
After the two men were treated
here, they were transferred to the

that Mobile had brought north for
his explorations.
Efforts now are to be concentrate
I'd on removing the four men left
at the Mobile camp, locating Roald
