There was no one to see him Off

mated today to be down near North
east Land or on the polar ice cap to
the north.
The base ship Citta di Milano has
picked up signals from the airship.
which has been missing since May
rs. The men at the base were very
optimistic today that the airship's
crew of II and their commander,
General Umberto Mobile, would be
rescued.
Signals Are Heard
The base ship heard the Italia's
signals yesterday afternoon and
asked the airship number of Gucs-
tons. The base ship received no
answer to the questions but heard
several more signals which Captain
Manoya of the ship was unable to
understand
The Citta di Mlano told the crew
of the Italia about the numerous
expeditions being undertaken to
rescue them. These include the fly
ing expeditions of Captain Riser
Larsen and Lieut.. Luetzow Holm.
the expeditions aboard the sealing
ship Hobby and the ice breaker
Braganza and several searching
parties making their way across the
snow and ice of Spitzbergen.
The base ship was being made
ready today to sail as soon as pos
sible to the rescue, if this were
thought advisable.
The messages received by the Cita
di Milano were calculated to have
come from a point within ATTITUDES
so to 81 north and longitudes % to
80 east AS soon as the signals be-
gan to come in all stations in the
vicinity were asked TO be quiet.
Kings Bay. Spitzbereen, June S
UP)-A relief expedition prepared
today to rush into the territory north
of Northeast Land after the steamer
Citta di Milano had received a radio
message believed Enthusiastically to
have come from the lost. polar
dirigible Italia.
The rescue vessel intercepted the
message shortly before midnight last
night. The MESA ge was an $ q ;.

Immediately thereafter it gave the
position of $3.50 degrees north and

This position is just off the north
