The last radio message received here yesterday from the Norge was sent at 9:80 p. m. Tuesday, eastern standard time, just after passing the pole. The pole was crossed at 7 p. m. It was estimated that the ship would make the 1250 miles from the Pole to Point Barrow in 26 hours, ‘on the way to Nome.

The papers express doubt that Commander Ric! ard E. Byrd actually flew over the pole Saturday.
