use ships equipped for work among

however, today was en- route from
Tromsoe to Spitzbergen to aid in
the search.
While the Norwegian government
awaited the approval Of the Italian
government for extensive plans. one
rescue expedition got under way
hoping to reach Kings Bay late this
week. Lieutenant Lutezow Holm
flew in a seaplane from Horten to
join the sealer Hobby at Tromsoe.
Using the Hobby as base, he will
explore the north and northeast
coasts of Spitzbergen.
Captain Riiser-Larsen. who will
probably lead the main Norwegian
relief expedition, believes that the
Italia came down on the ice some
where north Of Spitzbergcn. He
thinks that an air survey Of this
district offers the best prospects Of
finding the dirigible since every
meteorological condition seems to
point to the Italia's being north of
her base.
