COURTAULD TAKEN | BACK-TO' SAFETY Returning Dog Sledge Found by Flyer After Visit to Empty Hut. (Copsright, 1931, by the Associated Press.) ANGMAGSALIK, Greenland, May 8. —A dog sledge tratled by four men, winding through the icy crags of Greep- 'and today took Augustine Courtauld, youthful British scientist, back to safety #nd human society after a Winter spent alone on the Greenland ice cap. Of the three men with Courtauld the leader is H. G. Watkins, chief of the British Arctic air route expedition, which last Fall left him in en igloo on the ice cap with the promises to return in March to relieve him sfter a Winter spent in observation of meteorological conditions. ‘Watkins, who searched in vain in Mg-ch and April for the igloo which was CW®rtauld’s Winter “home, yesterday morning—two months late—xept his promise, found Courtayld, in ‘whom hope of rescue must have begun to fade, and started back with him over 105 miles to the expedition's base, at Ser- melik Fjord, 35 miles inland. Flyer Not Far Behind. ‘Watkins' success was attained as six expeditions to rescue Courtauld were got under way. Had Watkins failed, or been a few hours later, success would have rested with the most spectacular of these expeditions, that of the Swed- ish civilian pilot, Capt. Albin Ahrenberg, who flew from Maimoe, Norway, and found the Courtauld igloo a few hours after Watkins had taken Courtauld away. . Capt. Ahrenberg, whose plane 1s| equipped with skils, landed on the ice | near the igloo, which he spetted from | the air after a short search. He found | only a ragged tent, oaked about in Es- | kimo fashion with blocks of ice, but in the freshly fallen s':ow xahel'e were sledge tracks leading southward. “The aviator took off and, flying low, followed the sledge tracks, which soon ‘brought him in sight of the ‘Watkins party. Courtauld appeared to be walk- ing along behind the sledge, safe and in good health. Ahrenberg dropped some food to the party and continued back to the expedition’s base with word of the rescue, It was believed a week would elapse before the sledge party could reach the base. Seek Missing German. Capt. Ahrenberg will undertake search of the ice about 60 miles far-| ther north to see if he can find any trace of the expedition of Prof. Albert Weggener, German sclentist, who is supposed to be in that neighborhood, but has not been heard from for many months. B Courtauld, who is the son of a wealthy British textile manufacturer, is 27 years old, and his rescuer, Watkins, but 23. They planned to blaze a trail across the Arctic wastes which would make commercial ajr_traffic to Canada from England possible, Courtauld volunteer- ing to spend the Winter alone 7,000 feet above s:a level to obtain necessary data. Ahrenberg was started on his rescue by Capt. Ralph Rayner of the British Royal Signal Corps, who is engaged to Courtauld’s sister. Other rescue expe- ditions, included the steamer Od and the jon ship Hvidbjorn, which were near the ice barrier today. Another ship was being prepared in Scandinavia, and an airplane had been shipped from England to Tceland by Maj. Sydney Cotton to aid in the rescue.
