How the Arctic obtained its fascina- tion over him was told by Lincoln Ellsworth in the New York Times as follow “I try to recall when it was that my imagination was first_captured by the lure of the Arctic. I must have been very young, because T cannot recall when first it wa Doubtless somewhere in my ancestry there was a restless wanderer with an unap- peasable desire to obtain the farthest north. The large blank spaces sur rounding the North Pole have been a challenge to the daring since charts first wereé made. For nearly four gen erations that mysterious plan has been the intimate quest of numerous aaventurers. Refore this adventure of ours, ex- plorers had depended on ships and dogs. Andree and Wellman planned to reach the Pole with balloons, theirs were hardly more than plans. Andree met with disaster soon after jeaving Spitzbergen. Wellman's ex- pedition never left the ground. “Curlously enough, Perry was the first man with whom I ever discussed the matter of using an airplane for polar work. That was shortly before his death, and he was enthusiastic about the project. Eight vears later, Capt. Amundsen arrived in New York, He already had announced his belief that the polar sea could be crossed in a plane, and for those eight years my mind had not freed itself of the idea. We had a long talk and, as a result, brought Amundsen and my father to gether. My father, too, became en- thusiastic and agreed to buy us two fiying boats. Thus the adventure began.” Capt. Roald Amundsen has been traveling - the Arctic and Antarctic wastes since 1908.

His ability as a navigator had been proved by his flights from Rome | across Western and Northern Europe, jugh storms and fogs, without mishap. Fully appreciating the difficulties of | his mission, Col. Nobile laid his plans with the greatest care. He made a visit to Rusia to obtain permission for the long stop-over at the hang.r near Leningrad, and he obtained the full co-operation of the Soviet govern ment. With similar co-operation from Italy, France, England and Nor- v, he made his flizhts over Europe close adherence to schedule. Nobile is 41 vears old. He has enzaged in airship work since the army, and is the in contor of this type of semirigid dirigible, sald to be the best of its ind in the warld. He has flown on scores of trips with dirigibles. The method of constructing a flexible keel with steel tubes joined in a strong but movable ball-bearing joint is his in- vention. During the war Col. Nobile s ergaged in dirigible construction and gained experience, which he ap- plied when building the Norge. 1s Quick, Nervous Type. Col. Nobile is a slight, nervo quick of movement and speech. He worked for months preparing the Norge and carefully planned for al- most any weather condition. He never flies without his mascot, Titina, a tiny dog, and if anything should happen to Titina he would believe disaster threatened. Titina s as much used to going up in the air as she is to wandering about the big hangars where the ship is stored. The Viking of the expedition s Lieut. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen. One never tires of looking at him, he is such a fine physical specimen, with nerves of iron, calm and alert in any difficulty, with a bearing which in- spires absolute confidence in his lead- ership. He was second in command of the expedition, the right-hand man of Amundsen and Elilsworth. Riiser-Larsen stands 6 feet 3 and weighs 230 pounds of bone and muscle. There is hot an ounce of fat on his great frame. He has the long legs, slim hips and broad, powerful shoulders of the perfect athlete, and is so well proportioned that at a dis- tance he does not seem unusually large. He is tremendously strong and has a grip like steel. Despite his great physique Riiser- Tarsen is almost boyish when he smiles, and his grin is ever ready and infectious. Off duty he is as full of humor and as ready to indulge jn horseplay as any of his comrades, but when things ‘have gone wrong or some one has angered him Riiser-Larsen's glance is a terrible thing to encounter. Tle seems never to lose his temper, however, which probably is fortunate for those around him.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 17.—The flight of the Norge over the North Pole added 100,000 square miles to the earth’s explored area, but leaves be- tween 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 square miles as yet unseen by civilized man. The largest area is 2,000,000 square in the Antarctic, which explorers der uninteresting because the Antarctic continent is known to be covered with ice 7,000 to 10,000 feet thick. The Amundsen-Elisworth cut the 1,000,000-mile Arctic®ea in ition | two, leaving 600,000 square miles of unexplored territgry toward Siberia and 300,000 toward the Kast. Al though no land was discovered by the Norge, explorers point out that islands are found throughout the known Arctic reglons, and that birds have been seen migrating toward that sec- tion. There are smaller unknown areas in North and South America, Asla, Africa and on a few islands.

He was graduated | [ from the naval school in the same as Riiser-Larsen, and the two have been comrades ever since, having nearly the same airplane experience. | He was on patrol duty during the wiar, was an instructor in the naval flving school, flew for a time in the mail service, and was reserve pilot on the last expedition. Horgan was also n the mercantile marine for a time, and was first officer on the Bergens. tiord, plying between New York and Oslo. He generally wears quizzical smile i the world amused him greatly Wisting Oldest Aboard. The oldest man aboard was a stocky little man, built like a polar bear, with 1 strength which every one respects. and who won the admiration of his| comrades by smoking elght Italian cigars in succession. He is Capt. Oscar Wisting, 56, who for years was cap- 1 of Amundsen’s ship. Wisting is very popular, and is regarded as some- | thing of & wit. Col. Nobile insisted on | taking with him his mascot. a tiny dog. which amuses the Norweglans. Some of them expressed a desire to | heave the dog overboard, but Wisting | protested. | “No, no: there are four meals that dog,” said he. Wisting's stamina is proverbial | among the Norwegians. He never| tires. He can go four days without sleep, work like a dog, go without food, chew tobacco that would kill the average man, and come through | as fresh as a daisy. He went with Amundsen to the South Pole, and in | 1918 went with the Maud on the| Northeast pasage to Nome, Alaska. fe started back with her in 1921 and been ashore only a short time after three and a half vears in the ice. Wisting is married and has four chil. dren. Lieut. Oscar Omdal, 30 vears old, was in charge of the motors of the ship. He is an officer in the Norwe. glan Navy and was the mechanic of one of the planes last vear. He has | om- Jdal, In contrast to most of the Nor- weglans, is a small, quick, exceeding- Iy frank person, and shares with them thelr wit and smiling good nature. Comdr. Birger Lund Gottwaldt of also an aviato | in expert of the expedition. He is 46 vears old. He entered the navy in 1898, became a sublieutenant in 1901, a lieutenant in 1904 and a commander in 1912. Until the war he was on ac- tive sea duty, and also detailed to tor- pedo, signal and mine duty, becoming an expert in signaling. When the war started he was put in charge of the wireless section of the navy de partment. Looks Comdr. Gottwaldt is a chubby round-faced man, with baby blue ey who looks more like a_professor than a sea captain. A description-by him of what the inside of the Norge looks like when he is ordered to go to the stern and hold it down is worth listen- ing to. It is graphic and forceful. Gennadl N. Olonkin was Gottwaldt's assistant _and shates with him the watches in the radio room. He is 29, a Russian who has become a Norwe- gian citizen. He was in a wireless sta- tion on the Siberian coast in 1915 when Amundsen came drifting by in the Maud, and he asked to be taken along as mechanic or anything else. He has been devoted to Amundsen ever since. Gustav Amundsen, 32 vears old, is a nephew of the explorer. He had often asked his uncle to take him on one of his expeditions, but Amundsen always refused to have any of his family with him. This year Gustav appealed to Riiser-Larsen and the elder Amund- sen did not wish to refuse any request his capable assistant made. So this time young Amundsen was taken on the most adventurous trip of all, and to him was given the duty of watch- ing the valves on the top of the ship, and shoveling off the snow, walking along the dizzy promenade with a rope Heat W ith Gill ETANMATIC OIL T BURNER) lfl] NY Ave M- 6380 Like Professor.
