An1mperishable
Record of the
Arctic

~UT Of the Arctic wastes on August
~ came news that arrested the
attention Of the world. The bodies
Of Solomon A. Andree and his two
companions had been found.
From the day-July IL, 1897-when
Andree, Nils strindberg and Knut
Fraenkel sailed away in their balloon,
THE Eagle" from Danes Island,
Spitzbergen, on their pioneer aerial
quest for the North Pole, their fate
had been a mystery.
Then on August last q Norwegian
scientific party accidentally discovered
on White Island, east Of Spitzbergen,
their remains, and the desolate camp
where they had periShed.
But amid the silence were left the
diaries and notebooks Of Andree and
Strindberg.
From these now comes, for the first
time, the whole story Of the il4ated
flight Of the explorers, their months
Of terrible ice wanderingS, their last
heroic fight against Death.
The diaries and records were recovered
by an expedition to White Island
sponsored by the Hearst newspapers.
These writings, icelocked in the North
for SO years, have been deciphered by
a committee Of eminent Swedish
scientists and reconstructed into o
seQuential official narrative - the
greatest of all the eptcs OF Arctic
exploration.
They viii be published in the March
of Events section Of the Sunday
washington Herald.
