AWAIT MOBILE,
ITALIA CREW IN
SWEDEN TODAY
Inflated Explorers Return
in Contrast With Brave
Start.
By OLE CAVLING
United Press Special Correspondent

COPENHAGEN, July 24.-Sixty-
three days has made a vast differ
ence in the life of General Umberto
Mobile.
On May % he stepped into the
gondola of his dirigible, Italia, spoke
reassuringly to the fifteen members
CT his crew, then with a wave to
hundreds of people of Kings Bay,
Spitzbergen, started on polar
cruise as the world watched.
Today Sweden awaited Mobile. But
the Italia commander comes here
not in the glory that would have
been his had the polar flight been
successful. Sixty-one days ago the
Italia crashed on an ice foe. Two
members of the crew are dead. Seven
are with Mobile at Kings Bay. Six
others still are missing.
Mobile Criticised
Mobile is injured and according to
latest reports is unable to stand
erect. He was injured just before
Lieutenant Einar-Paa1 Lundborg
rescued him from the ice island.
It will be a hurried trip that No
bile and his men will take through
Sweden, according to reports to the
newspaper, Ekstra Bladet. They will
be brought to the port of Narvik by
the supply ship, Citta Di Milano, and
probably will arrive this afternoon.
They will board a regular train
one car Of which has been reserved
by the italian government-and
proceed via Kirunaboden, Malmoe
and Trelleborg directly south to
Italy.
The train will miss Stockholm and
every effort will be made to expedite
the party on the return to Italy.
Several members are suffering ILL
ness and injury and desire to get
immediate medical attention.
There has been criticism of Mobile
in these northern parts, principally
because he was the first of the Italia
crew to be rescued from the haz-
ards OF life on the ice foe, and the
train routing and missing of Stock
holm will save Mobile from any en-
barrassment that might come up.
Search to Continue
Per1er Benito Mussolini ordered
some days ago that the Italia crew
proceed home as soon as possible
and refrain from making any state
ments or giving interviews.
The Citta Di Milano will return
to Kings Bay from Narvik to aid
in the search for six members of
the Italia crew who floated away
with the envelope of the dirigible
and also for the six men of the
Road Amundsen group. The sup
ply ship will give aid to the several
flying crews Russia, Sweden and
Norway and viii cooperate with the
Russian ice breakers Krassin and
Maligin, both of which now are in
port for refueling before starting
out on last search.
