! BEARS HELD GAUSE | OF POLAR DEATH l-Fated Andree Expedition of 33 Years Ago Believed Victim of Sudden Attack. By the Associated Press. A sudden attack by Polar bears was advanced yesterday by Capt. Evelyn B. Baldwin, retired explorer, as probable cause of the death of two members of the Andree Arctic balloon expedition 33 : years ago. Drawing from his own experiences, he | took issue with theories that Solomon | August Andree, Swedish scientist, and Tis two companions w-re killed by cold, starvation or fumes from their gas stove. Andree, Knut I:iankcl and Nils Strindberg, making the first polar at- tempt by air, disapp>ared into the North from Danes Island, Spitzbergen, in 1898. "They were never heard of again until 1ast Summer; when the remains of their 1as; encampment was found on White | Island, N&]D( Nansen Land. Baldwin, a member of several earlier | Arctic expeditions, missed joining the ill-fated balloon ptrty by just 48 hours, srriving at Danes Island only to find Andree had taker. advantage of favor- ablc winds and left two days before. “Prom the condition and position of the bodies when found,” Capt. Baldwin said, “I am convinced that the death of at least two of them was sudden, and not the result of cold. lack of supplies or_monoxide poisoning.’ He recalled that the body of Strind- berg was found under loose stoncs and gravel, indicating Andree had made an sttempt to bury him. but that the bod- ok Andree and Frankel were muti- | “Several years before, when I and two others weré in a hut in Franz Joseph Land, with the snow drifted high above us, & polar bear and two half-grown cubs tried to get in through the roof. Only the substantial construction of the tuilding prevented their entrance, and I finally shot them. “My theory is that something similar occurred in Andree’s camp, but they were in a tent, and they mey Lave sud- L found a polar bear in their midst. At such close quarters they would have had little chance for their lives.” et HUMBLE RITES HELD IN PARIS FOR ISABELLA Spanish Infanta’s Body Borne to Tomb in Oaken Coffin Bor- dered in Silver.
