Olso, Norway, July 26 P—A sea- man with fixed bayonet was placed on guard at the gangplank of the Citta Di Milano today when the vessel docked at Narvik with the survivors of the Italia disaster. On- lookers at the docks regarded this move with astonishment. When the ship arrived early this morning comparatively few people were on hand although many had waited for it until late last night, When the mooring rope was thrown ashore no assistance was forthcoming in fastening the rope and one of the crew of the Ttalian ship had to jump ashore to do it. No Norwegian authorities were present on the quay. A represent- ative of the Italian legation at Stockholm greeted the survivors and three Swedes who had taken part in the sledge expedition to search for Roald Amundsen’s miss- ing party. See Dog The spectators through a porthole of General Um- berto Nobile’s dog Titina. As soon as the ship's crew observed this the porthole was immediately covered. The guard was stationed as soon as the gangplank was lowered. None of the rescued men appeared on the deck. Many American mo- tion picture photographers and for- eign and Norwegian journallsts &athered on the quay. The survivors will continue their journey to Italy by train this eve- ning and a special carriage will drive up by the ship's side to take them from the vessel to the station. The railway over which they will travel only passes a few miles through Norweglan territory and then runs into Sweden. The Italian rescue plane Marino T arrived from Tromsoe last night with part of the Swedish rescue ex- pedition, returning from Spitzber- gen. The expedition included the leader, Captain Tornberg. The Swed- ish fliers were welcomed enthusi- astically by a great crowd.

Feeling on the subject has been most intense among many Swedish people and so far as can be deter- mined there appears to be a grow- ing opinfon throughout the coun- try that an impartial neutral com- mission should inquire into the Malmgren affair.
