STOCKHOLM, July 6.—The chief of the Swedish rescue mission telegraphed from Spitzbergen today that Lieut. | sinar-Paal Lundborg, Swedish airmdn, had been rescued from the ice near Foyn Island. Lieut. Lundborg was | marooned when his plane overturned | in an attempt to take off survivors of | the Ttalia disaster. The Swedish war department re- | ceived a message from the base ship Quest that the rescue was effected by the Swedish fiyer Shybers Others Not Mentioned. | No mention was made of the five | members of the Italia crew who were | stranded on the ice with Lundborg. | After taking off Gen.

He intended to take | off Natale Ceccione, motor chief of the | dirigible, whose leg was broken. As he landed on the ice the plane overturned and the skis were smashed. Unable to take off, Lundborg joined those who] | were awaiting rescue on the ice. Wife Gets Message. . Details of Lieut Lundbrog's rescue were lacking. but confirmation came to | Stockholm directly from the lieutenants, | who sent a mesage to his wife saying | that he had been saved by his comrade, | Lieut.

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July 6 UP).—Five marconed members of the crew of the Italla today had enough provisions 0 withstand the rigors in the Arctic until rescuted from their pertlous position on the ice. Swedish_fiyers have dropped provi- sions, medical supplies and new bat- teries for the marooned men's radio. In the meantime there seemed little likelihood that the Russian ice breaker Kraassin would be able to effect their rescue soon. Halted by Broken Propeller. After battering its way through the pack ice, the vessel was halted 50 miles from the castaways with a damaged propellor. While this was being re- paired the ship drifted with the heavy and almost impenetrable ice. That the five marooned members of Nobile would be the only ones to come out of the fatal trip to the North Pole alive seemed virtually a certainty today. Since May 25, when the balloon part of the airship drifted eastward and ap- parently caught fire, nothing has been Gen, Nobile said that if the balloon itself had caught fire there was no hepe that any aboard would escape death. ‘The provisions of these six men must be running low by now, if they have survived, and their plight would be Hope for Others Slim. Hope that three other members of the crew who started for land from the Nobile group would be found was exceedingly slim today when reports be- gan to come in from parties which had started out to look for them. Students of the Alpine Club reported that they had carefully explored the whole north- ern coast of North East ‘Land to a point seven miles from Cape Leigh Smith without finding any trace of them. Swedish and Norweglan air- planes explored Outger Reps Island, north of North East Land, and an is- land immediately to the south of it and found no. one on either. Another Swedish airplane searched along the eastern and southern coasts of North East Land without finding any trace of Roald Amundsen and the five men missing with him.

NEW YORK, July 6.—The discovery | of what are believed to be mummified remains of stone-age man is described in a dispatch to today’s New York Times, from Harold McCracken, head of an expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to the Aleutian Is'ands, off the Alaskan coast. Four mummified bodies, three adults and one infant, were found on the sum- mit of an almost inaccessible island, their clothing. domestic articles, hunting weapons and other paraphernalia that went with the burial of the early barbarian. Hints of Mongolia. The burial tomb bore evidence of Mongolian influence, but there was nothing to indicate contact with anci- ent or modern civilizations. The vault was made of well shaped and mortised drift logs held together by bone pegs and had been wedged in a rock crevice on an almost unscalable The lining of the vault was of cured otter skins. The vault itself was | divided into two parts, in one of which was the body of a man evidently of high rank and in the other the bodies of the other two adults and the child. The body of the ancient ice king was clothed in otter skins surmounting a shirt of bird skins, both elaborately decorated. Wrapped around the body was a cere-cloth of skins of Northern animals surmounted by another layer of woven grass. The whole was inclosed in a parchmentlike layer of sea-lion intestine. The other bodies were less elaborately dressed and were believed to be those of servants. Sailed Last April. The expedition was_ financed by Charles H. Stoll of New York, who, with | his wife, is aboard' the Morrissey, the expedition’s ship. The party sailed from Seattle last April. The Morrissey is under the ¢ mmand of Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, who was with Admiral Peary when he discovered the North Pole in 1909. | When they set out the expedition expected to continue to Siberia and islands of the Bering Sea in their search for the stone age men. The dis- patch, which was relayed by radio from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, did not indicate whether the rest of the trip would now be abandoned. Mr. McCracken said one of the bodies was being preserved as they found it, so that experts of the museum here might examine the find exactly as it was taken | from the burial vault. 0000000 LIMIT ' BODIES ARE SOUGHT ‘snn Antonio, Tex., and March Field, | there were 245 graduates and 42 ene FORBUDGET SEEN AFTERLOUDBURST Estimate Represents Reduc-' One Person Known to Have tion of About $6,500,000 Been Drowned in Penn- in Funds Asked. sylvania Flood.
