UNCERTAINTY IN
LOCATING ITALIA
TO HINDER HUNT
Previous Expeditions Were
More Easily Traced
Than DirgibIe.
By Science ScrUice

By Science SeFCtc6
WASHINGTON, May 31.-If the
passing hours prove that the Italia
with Mobile and his party aboard is
lost in the arctic somewhere be-
tween the North Pole and Splits
bergen, there may be enacted one OF
the heart-rending tragedies of at
tempted arctic rescue such as his
tory records.
Today, although the ice is as
merciless as ever, circumstances are
different from the days when
Franklin was lost, when Greedy and
his brave band starved, or even
when the more recent Wrangel ISL
and tragedy was revealed.
In the days when arctic explorers
were limited to difficult sledging
over ice, when only a few miles a
day could be travelled, the rescue
party knew in what general locality
to search.
If the Italia's radio remains silent
and gives no clew of the location OF
that Inflated ship, Amundsen and
his aides in the relief expedition
have difficult task before them
Norge News Was Slow
A dozen dirigibles in the best Of
weather might scour the icy wastes
without sighting the landing place
OF the Italia. If the radio brings
news of Mobile and his party and
gives their location, even then res
>cue over ice will be difficult enough
Up until the Italia's latest voyage,
recent aerial exploration of the
arctic has been singularly without
serious mishap. But the first air
plane venture pole-ward by Amund-
sen and Ellsworth gave the world
some anxious moments while their
airplane was down in the arctic
and out of communication.
When the Norge landed at Teller,
Alaska, after its successful trip
across the North Pole and the great
arctic blind spot, the news of sue
cess was slow in reaching civiliza-
ton and some at that time thought
that dirigible lost.
No Trace of Expedition
But the first attempt at arctic
exploration by air, made in 1897,
ended diSastrously. The Swedish
balloonist, S. A. Andree, and two
companions. set out for the North
Fole in a large free balloon. The
start was made from Danes Island,
in the north of Spitsbergen, on july
II, 1897. Five tons of supplies were
carried. In an hour the balloon was
out of sight.
That night, seven and a half
hours later, a message buoy, found
later, was dropped. This was the
last trace of the expedition although
Years afterwards various uncon-
firmed rumors of finding the bal
loon have come out of the arctic
regions of Siberia and Canada.
The Franklin expedition of 1916
IS. from which not one of the 129
officers and men returned alive,
probably is the most famous of
arctic tragedies. Not until a decade
later did searching parties discover
the fate of Sir John Franklin and
his men and of their accomplish
ment of the northwest passage and
other geographic discoveries.
