KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen. June 80.
To-day, start OF the sixth week
since Gen. Umberto Mobile and his
polar expedition in the dirigible
Italia crashed on the ice off North
Eastland, saw weather conditions not
only halting efforts Of rescuers but
increasing the peril of the six refu-
gees whose location is known.
Another day passed also without
news Of the nine missing members Of
the Italia's crew or of the party Of
six which Roald Amundsen organized
for search and rescue work in a
French naval seaplane.
Throughout the more than two
score days since the disaster. efforts
of aviators and mariners, backed by
the resources Of five governments,
have failed to effect a rescue except
in the case Of General Mobile him
self. His return from the ice was
nullified, 50 far as number OF i'm
perilled men was concerned. by the
marooninE Of his rescuer Lieut..
Einar-Paal Lundborg. Swedish flier.
There was anxiety here tonight for
the safety Of Lieut.. Lundborg and the
five explorers at the camp from which
Mobile was rescued. The arctic sum-
mer is affecting the ice fields and
the floes are moving under the in
fluence of wind and current. The
fields are beginning to break up and
there is apprehension lest the big
floe on which Mobiles tent was
pitched disintegrate.
