'SHBPOLAR CRUISE “TO STARTIN LY ‘Proposed Voyage by Wilkins #1n Arotic Ocean' Would Cover ~ 2,000 Miles Under loe. Dispateh to The Star. YORK, April 3.—The proposed submarine voyage across the Arctic Ocean by -Capt, Sir Hubert Wilkins, polar explorer, ‘appears to-be assured following a vonference here in which i 1t was declared the submarine could be equipped by June 1, - Comdr. Sloan Dannenhower, who, with Simon Lake, ‘owns the undersea craft to be used, said that the trip would be made during July, according to tentative plans. Comdr. Dannenhower conferred. Mon- day -with George Palmer Pufnam, publisher, who is supervising the matter of equipment and representatives of ; battery and engine s s s Start at flnlfimvn. - .. Planned _'luf:(fl;hu |n|d &nw .. equipping -cq; e comple e :‘1‘? was" learned, so that the vessel = could proces to . Spitsbergen. About two weeks would be allowed there for fipal preparations, and then the sub- . marine, with a personnel of 10 men, would dive under the ice on July 1, expeeflns to reach Point Barrow, Alaska, 30 days later, after a trip of 2,000 miles across the North Pole, part of e time beneath the ice. Capt. ‘Wilki bs Xi‘:-;?nen the same journey last year by ai e, The submarine selected for the une dertaking was constructed in 1808 by the Electro-Torpedo Boat Co., ‘but, be- ;a"u:&e it dldm n:‘fia ma;t the tpp'r:; n_specifications for speed, never pu?elnm service but remained the perty. of the company and laid on the ways as an experimental ci ‘. The Lake-Dannenhower Co. purchas- ed the vessel two years ago at tl time of the S-4 disaster and recon tioned it for rescue and salvage work, therefore it is partly adapted for the needs of the North Pole trip, mt:le present An oil engine will replace gasoline engine on -the. sub) e, and storage batteries of ‘s spedial dulfi: creating greater storage capacity will be substituted for the batteries now is use. For use in ice-breaking a de- vice that Capt. Wilkins calls a “jumper bow,” which is a false or superbow, will be built over the real bow and the conning tower. Has Rescue Compartment. The eraft already is equipped with a forward diving compartment for rescue work and this can be used by divers in planting charges in ice to effect an opening or for other reasons, accords ing to Comdr. Dannenhower. Arctic explorers say that ice cracks leaving open water in the great ice sheet occur frequently and are seldom more than 20 miles apart. c-ft. ‘Wil- kins expects to average more than 60 miles each day, remaining under water about 14 hours out of every 24 and com- ing to the surface to recharge the bat- teries during the other 10 hours. Those interested in the voyage are in touch with experts at McGill Univer- sity who are experimenting on the ice of the St. Lawrence River with thermit, a chemical preparation which has tre- mendous melun&rwer. A supply of thermit will be taken by the explorers for use in an emergency. .. Capt. Wilkins purposes the underwater trip across the Arctic to make a study of the ocean depth, ice drift and ocean cuzrents in north polar regions. ‘The explorer believes the trip will en- able him to return in time to continue his Antarctic observations.
