The sealer Vieding or the sloop Fridtjof Nansen will be sent, it was said, and the plans will be worked out during the day. Captain Riiser Lar- sen, noted north polar airman, dis- cussed the advisability of a search with polar experts Thursday night and the opinion was expressed that there was no grounds for anxiety but preparations should be made in view of the lateness of the season. Sir Hubert said before he left Aug. 18 that it would be unnecessary to send an expedition even if communi- cation with the submersible was broken for some time. He stressed the fact that he had no intention of endangering the lives of the crew by fuel capacity, and he must make sev- eral landings between Bergen and Spitzbergen. ‘The board of fisheries.instructed @ gealing ship at Longyear City, Bpite- bergen, to remain there in readiness for a quick departure if necessary. radio. operators were instructed to attempt to raise the radio operator of the Nautilus. ‘The captain of the No coal- ing vessel Ingerte picked up faint sig- nals Tuesday but they were too to be understood. It was that these might have come from the; submarine’s portable transmitter, car- ried on to the ice by the crew. Serious anxiety is felt in shipping circles in view of the fact the Nor- wegian stations, up to this week, have been in constant touch with Sir Hu- bert. LIGHTS SEEN IN BAY REVIVED HO! HAVE PE Longyear City, Spitabergen, Sept. 4. —(®)}—Hope for the safety of Sir Hu- bert Wilkins and his Nautilus crew was. revived by the appearance of lights in Eckmann Bay, seen from City Thursday night. Unless the lights emanated from Sir Hubert’s submarine, in which he started on an under-ice expedition to the north pole, or from some of the crew on the ice, their origin seemed inexplicable. ‘The local_governor’s ship went out Friday in a: search of the neighbor- hood.
