Speculation Rife Regarding Disaster Was AL
 ways Low Flier

KINGS BAY. Spitzbergen. June 2S.-A strong wind and blanket of fog continued today to block efforts of rescue workers and the fear is expressed that nine of the missing members of the Italia s crew will never be found alive.
 Considerable speculation as to events which preceded and fol- lowed the disaster, withholding news of the death of Vincenzo Pomella, motor attendant, for one month by Mobile and refusal of those commanding the base ship Citta di Milano to permit news papermen to question Mobile, has given rise to many rumors.
 Mobile Criticized
 Mobile is being criticized for coming to safety first, leaving his comrades.
 It is also said that Mobile, following his usual practice of flying low on the Polar voyage added greatly to peril. Such a journey is reported to have been made by the Italia and on May 16, when the airship was over Lenin Land, Mobile nearly crash ed into a mountain.
 Capt. Mariana, pilot, was talk ing nap at the time but was sleeping so lightly he heard the antenna touch the ground. Mar iano immediately sprung from his

saved the airship from disaster.
 Mobiles EXnlanation


 Mobiles only explanation of the disaster on May 25 is that the airship, suddenly weighted down and it was impossible to avert crash.
 In the controversy between Capt. Roald Amundsen and Mo- bile after the flight of the Norge over the Arctic, it was said the expedition then was twice close to disaster because too near the ice
 Capt. Riser Larsen is credited with then having averted catas- trophes by each time taking the rudder in his own hands.

 Durban Entertainment
 Despite the unexpectednes ol the arrival of the 'Durban last Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Goddard said. everything possible was done for the entertainment of the men and officers on the vessel Autos were secured and many were taken out to Mendenhall Glacier, others visited the Alaska Juneau mill and mine. others la ken on fishing and hiking exMls. tions. and citizens entertained a number from the boat in their homes. Last night the dance giv- en by the Chamber in honor of the visitors was largely attended.
 The band concert given by the Durban's band packed the big hall in the Southeastern Alaska Fair Building.
 Through the courtesy of W. D. Gross, owner, the British officers and sailors were c1mitted to the Coliseum Theatre without charge.
 Gridiron Is Discussed
 Like Mark Twain said about the weather everyone talks about the need of a gridiron here for small boats but no one does any thing, declared c. T. Gardner, of Sawyer Reynolds Company. He offered on behalf of his firm, to donate the piling necessary for such a structure if the Chamber or the City authorities found it necessary to construct one.
 Later the Chamber adopted a motion offered by him for the az pointment of. special committee to act as intermediary between the City and Charles G. Warner Company to see if their differ ences over disputed site on which Mr Warner proposed to erect a gridiron. President George named V. A. Paine. l.. D. Tender son and Dr. w. w.

 Such cruelty is beyond descrip- tion and unbelievable but it is a fcct.
