Just a few hours after the brilliant rescue of Captains Alberto Mariano and Filippo Zappi, members of the Italia’s walking party, the Krassin crashed through the ice floes to reach the Viglieri group which near Foyn Island off Northeast for 48 days had been stranded Land. With seven of the sixteen men of the Italia safely aboard, the Krassin immediately turned its attention to picking up several rescue groups which have become stranded themselves and kept a sharp lookout for the missing group of Captain ° Roald Amundsen in the hope that the great drama of thd ‘ Hope Held for Party of Six Moscow, July 138.—(AP)— Hope for the party of six men cartied off in the beg of the di- rigtble Italia on May 25 and since given up for lost has been revived reports reaching Moscow indicating that the lo- cation of the group is known. General Umberto Nobile, now at Kings Bay, has sent a ‘mes- sage to the rescue ship Krassin stating that the group, re- ferred to as the “Alessandri” party was not far from the pres- sent location of the Krassin. Latest reports received in Moscow indicated that the men were at a point 80.45 north lati- tude and 30.31 east longitude. This would place them northeast of Foyn Island, near which the Viglieri group was rescued. With these reports, which were not confirmed, came a re- vival in Moscow of belief that Roald.
