MOSCOW, July 13-On the last
short stage of the most triumphant
voyage of rescue in modern history,
the Russian icebreaker Krassin ra-
diced today that she had picked up
two dogsled men off Northeastland
and was proceeding to rescue five
men stranded on the coast with
their damaged airplane.
In her last brief message, the
Krassin wirelessed that she had res
cued Captain Sora and Self Van
Dongen, who with dogsled team
had gone in search of survivors
from the wrecked dirigible Italia.
At almost the same moment, all
unconfrmed report from Virgo Bay
said that Ludwig M. Warming, third
member of the little expedition, had
been picked up with the dogsled
team where Sora and Van Dongen
had left him, near Cape Brun.
Only One Party Left
The only other party of known
survivors now on the arctic ice that
fought such long, bitter and for
a time winning battle to prevent
rescue is that of Aviator Chukhnov-
sky, off Cape Platen.
Chukhnovsky and four compan-
ions crashed after they had flashed
back word that they had located
Capt. Filippo Zappi and Capt. Adal-
berto Mariana, of the Italia.
AS it pushed it's way along the
coast to the rescue of the Sora and
Chukhnovsky parties, the KrasSin
radioed she had aboard seven men
brought back from death to life aft
er the wrecking Of the Italia.
In business-like manner, the ship
added that after effecting reScues of
all survivors, she would proceed to
Advent bay to re-coal.
Within two days the KraSsin had
rescued two groups from the Italia =
one given up as lost and listed
SAamong the dead; the. other the men
who day by day since June 8 had
rad 2ed from their ice camp of
Foyn island their desperate condi-
tionS.
Pick Up Two Groups
In the first group we're Capt
Filippo zappi and Capt. Adalberto
NEariano, navigators of the Italia,
uicked up off a twenty-four- foot ice
fJe off Cape Platen Thursday
morning.
They had left the ice camp May
80 with Prof. Finn Malmgren, the
Swedish meterologiSt Of the Italia
to try to walk to land.
The Krassin radioed Thursday
that Malmgren had been dead for a
month.
Magnetic storms that have inter-
rupted all radio communication
throughout the North caused barb
ling Thursday of subsequent mes
sages from the ISraSSin.
The messages we're interpreted as
saying that Malmgren's body had
been found.
Today further messages from the
Krassin left this, and even the ques-
ton whether Malmgren actually was
known to be dead, matter of un-
certainty.
In the second group she picked ur
at the Italia ice camp off Foyr
island-the Krassin reported that
there were five men. They were:
Lieut.. Alfredo Viglieri, joint nav
igator of the Italia, in command;
Professor F. Behounek of Czecho-
slovakia radiologist; Felice Troiani
aeronautical engineer; Gieuseppe
Biago, radio operator, and Natalie
Cecioni, chief engineer.
Cecioni's Fate Uncertain
Cecioni had been desperately
wounded when the Italia crashed
to The ice May 25. A thigh had
been broken and he had suffered
other injuries.
Last Saturday, the report was
published generally that Cecioni had
died.
The Krassin radioed today that
Cecioni, like the others, was aboard
her.
All seven rescued men aboard the
Krassin are under the care OF
physicians, who are feeding them
cautiously until they have become
used to ordinary food after weeks
Of trying to masticate, with swollen
mouths, the frozen pemmican that
was almost their only food.
\, zappi, Viglieri, Sehounek, Troi-
ami and Biagi are wandering about
che ship as in dream, the Kras-
sin radioed. Perhaps it would be
more accurate to say, as If awakened
to wonderful world after forty
