MONDAY
WILKINS TO EXPLORE ARCTIC
 SEA WITH SUBMARINE

Captain George Hubert Wilkins announced he is considering a voy- age across the North Pole in submarine. possibly this year or next. Commander Sloan Danen- hover, a technical expert of the Simon Lake Submarine Company, who plans to navigate the craft, said that the submarine which will be used is being fitted out at the Company's works at Bridgeport.
 Wilkins said the idea of using submarine to make a trip across the Arctic Polar sea has been in the minds of designers and ex- plorers since 1899. when the Sim on Lake Co. advanced 1t. Stefan son and Peary both considered 1t.
 "on the face of 1t. 1t scene risky but as a mathematical hazard I consider 1t no moro risky. and even lese 30 than an airpIaue flying over the Polar seas"
 The trip will be undertaken in July and will last only two or weeks, the submarine would be equipped with special diving lock, through which the diver might be sent out to blast the ship free of retaining ice. and would also have a bar sloping up from the bow to the coming tower to ease 1t under unseen ice bergs. the vessel would carry a large quantity of chemicals to melt the fee if found necessary. Wilkins said there was need for such a trip to get information as to the depth of the ocean and to determine if it conical, a depres- sion or basin. Data concerning the currents will also be obtained.
