logue and take every means Of pre-
serving everything found remaining
there.
The maps and plans have been

center Of the ships hatch there
stands a simple wooden box-made
by the crew from the shelter over
the ships motor-which Is still

from about the remains Of Frankel.

Map Sensational
Possibly the most sensational
revelation in the notes on the map
Is the fact that the Andree party
drifted around On exactly the same
spot north OF Foyn island where
the Mobile tragedy was enacted in
1923.
Captain Stubendorf said he be-
lieved there ought to be "a great
chance OF finding what was left OF
the Mobile expedition somewhere
on the east coast OF Franz Josef
Land. east of Spltzbergen.
Among the letters found frozen
together In Hvitovoen was a white
tie. presumably carried by Andree
himself to have upon his home
coming. There Is also a notebook
containing funny anecdotes and a
small book containing many phrases
OF good advice and other remarks.
I'm the latter book there is found
in Nils Strindberg's handwriting a
note which would make 1t seem he

passing over Greenland. Several
private letters belonging 70 Strind-
berg also were found. still bearing
their Swedish stamps. "A photograph
Of his fiancee and pictures Of pre-

covered.

One Of the most pathetic objects
was a birthday letter to Strind-

In a box intended 10 hold chess

spools or cotton were found. There
also were 90 dollars in American
gold and silver coins.
Among the other articles were
three pairs Of ~spectacles. including a

hair clipper which belonged TO
