the party had adequate clothes and Primus stoves.
For communication with the world there were
carrier pigeons brought up in northern Norway
that would take reports home written IN short
hand. There were also twelve messenger buoys
which would be dropped to send word by way Of
the sea.
At Danes Island Spitzbergen, between Green
land and NOvaya Zemlya the balloon was ready
and Juggling at its ropes as early as the Summer
of 1896 waiting for just the right wind It. was
not until July II, 1897, that Andree and his two
companions climbed aboard the balloon, and the
moorng ropes were cut.
Ground crew, scientists family and friends of
the three men cheered the departure and watched
the balloon grow small in the sky, much as long
ago in Genoa men and women must have watched
Columbus and his depart.
Andree was forty-three tall 1.-the and had the
golden good looks of some Scandinavian hero of
legend He had a leaders gift of tact and con-
siderable charm In addition he was a scientist,
sportsman and athlete.
With him was Nils Strndberg, twenty-three,
university graduate with special training in bal
looming, physics and chemistry. He was power
fully built and an athlete as anyone who set'out
on polar expeditions had TO be.
The third of the party knut Fraenkel, twenty
five was, chosen for his physical strength and his
talent for whatever had TO be done with the hands
The name of the balloon was the Eagle.
Andrea ,had so timed the Eagles departure that
should the party be forced down on ice they would
have some of the polar Summer left before Winter
darkness set IN and slowed up their travel

THE sea hides many mysteres-strange tales OF
senseess fueds and frightfu mutnes, OF savage
fighting and sudden death legends OF disastrous
voyages of ancient derelicts and phantom ships.
All through her long and turbulent history, the
sea has guarded her secrets-and yet, from time TO
time she persists in turning additional clues that
give new life to those old mysteries and puzzle the
men who try 70 solve them.
On these pages The American Weekly is present
ing some OF these weird yarns and the evidence that
has been gathered in effort 10 explain them Some
OF these accounts taken from the sea-stained,
age-rotted log books collected from the
musty records OF maritime courts, and some
from old sailors, living in remote harbors and
haunted, perhaps, by memories of their evil ad-
ventures.

come TO grief. Some reports originated rs far
south as the Canadian border Of the United States
some as far east as Japan.
But weeks passed without authentic word from

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN.
AUSTRALIA, March 10 - (R)
In resurgence of Japanese
aerial activity in the New Gui-
nea theater, Al enemy planes
attacked the allied mountain
outpost at Wau yesterday but
caused only light casualties and
small damage, General Mac
Arthur's headquarters ANNOUNCE
ed today.
The target of the raiders
which included 26 bombers and
81 fighters-apparently was the
tiny turf airdrome at Wau,
which is about 35 miles south
west of the japanese base at
Salamaua on the northeast
coast of New Guinea.
The raid was the first in the
Wau area in a month and fol-
lowed closely official warnings
that the Japanese have been
building up their air strength in
the southwest Pacific and should
not be under-rated despite the
recent drubbing they received
in the Bismarck sea convoy bat
tie.
There was no indication, how
ever, that the raid was coord-
mated with any increase in Jap
anese land activity in the Wau
area, which has been on a small
scale since they were driven
back several wee' ; ago in an at
tempt to take the airport.
The allied communique was
one of the shortest issued here
in many days. The only other
activity mentioned in the war
bulletin was brush between
nine japanese Zeroes and an
allied heavy bomber on recon-
naissance over Gasmata, New
Britain.
The allied plane shot down
four of the enemy planes and
probably another, returning
safely to base, the communique
said.

Relax Military Control
in Howoiion Islands odoy
PortioI Civil Authority Revived
For First Time Since Attack

The restoration becomes eff
fective formally at ceremony
at 10 am. $3.50 p. m. Eastern
Standard Time) in historic To-
lani palace. In the presence of a
Joint session of the Hawaiian
legislature, Territorial Governor
l. M. Stainback, Admiral Ches-
ter H. Nimitz and Lieut.. Gen.
Delo Emmons effect the formal
transfer of powers.
Eighteen agencies of govern
ment, mostly emergency organi-
cations established under mill
tary rule, are being restored to
civilian control. Martial law,
however, remains in effect and
civil writs of habeas corpus still
are suspended.
CIVIL FUNCTIONS
Functions being restored to
civilians include control of
prices, food rationing, hospital
and medical services, food pro-
duction and distribution, rents,
transportation and traffic ex-
cept during blackout hours, pub
lie health and sanitation, bust
ness hours, civil and criminal
judiciary, imports and exports
within limits prescribed by the
military, civilian, mail censor
ship, liquor and narcotics,
schools, alien property, garbage,
banking, most civilian defense
activities and labor.
Adjustments in governmental
processes to allow civilians to
take control of these functions
have been worked out in the 80
days since the proclamation
was issued.
AS restoration of limited civil
government becomes effective,
there is no indication that Ha-
waiians are relaxing their vigi-
lance. There are to be no
changes in complete blackout
and evacuation plans nor in
general readiness for any pos
sible attack. Such an attack,
civilian as we'll as military lead
ers continue to point out, is still
possible.
100 YEAR PLAN
Today's restoration occurs al
most 100 years after another
famous restoration in Hawaii.
Governor Stainback recently
said in relation to the restoration
of civil control:
Il have confidence that we
will meet the challenge of these
difficult times; that we will
fully demonstrate our capacity
for self government. We shall
not, we must not, we will not
fail.

That Fact, at Least, Now
Clear Amid Fuss, Furor
Excited Comment Still Swirls
in Wake Of Stondley Settlement

sertion of u. S. Ambassador Will
liam H. Standley in Moscow that
the Russian people are not be-
ing told the full story of Amer
lean aid still excited comment.
Reaction in c ngress was
mixed. 1t ranged from the sug-
gestion of Chairman Summers
(D-Tex.) of the House Judiciary
Committee that this nation "be
patient" to the statement of
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) that
Stain is a realist - he's for
Russia first and last" Senator
Wiley (R-Wis.) called it all a
Tempest in a teapot.
Teapot tempest or not, these
developments followed Stand
ley's statements:
!. Undersecretary of St I e
Sumner Welles said he had ca
bled Standby for a text of his
remarks, and emphasized to re-
porters that they were made
without consultation with Wash
ington.
2. The Moscow radio broad
cast the complete text of a re-
cent lend lease report listing the
amount and nature of war sup
plies shipped from the United
States to Russia. Senator Wheel
er, informed of this, remarked:
Notwithstanding the fact that
the State Department repudiat-
ed Admiral Standby, the Stand
ley statement apparently did
some good"
3. From London came unoffi-
cial reports that negotiations al
ready are underway for talks
among the United States, Great
Britain and Russia for an i'm
mediate understanding on post
war problems.
"a comment by Wendell
Willkie, Republican nominee in
the last presidential election and
recent visitor to Russia, that II
know of no Russian who is ig-
norant of the fact that we are
helping her with materials and
by our fighting on other fronts"
Despite the Standley affair the
only voice raised against con-
tinuing ledn lease in yesterdays
House debate was that of Rep.
Smith (R-Ohio), who protested
that 1--WE are giving away the
wealth of three centuries"
Several members have draft
ed amendments to offer to the
bill today, among them propos-
ais to:
Write into Lend Lease agree
ments the policies enunciated by
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill in the Allan
tic charter;
Subject final settlement of
Lend Lease benefits" to ap-
prevail by Congress.
Give the food administrator
power to halt shipments of Lend
Lease food when he believes the
action necessary to protect "the
health, morale and food supply"
of this country.
In the Senate, Chairman Con-
nally (D-Tex.) of the Foreign
Relations Committee said he did
not believe the Standley con-
troversy would prevent speedy
Senate passage of the bill with
out substantial amendments.
