ANDREE EXPEDITION RELIGS PRESERVED Nanonal Geographic - Society , Made Collection in 1898 ‘ 3 | Washington, D. C. Sept. 26— _ ¥Solutioin of one of the most dra-| matic mysteries of the arctic during | ithe four centuries of polar explora- Ftion, by the discovery after 33 years %ot the frozen remains of the Swed- h explorer and aeronaut, Solomon | #uguste Andree, has aroused keen | “interest at the headquarters of tho “National Geographic Society here Through Dr. J. Howard Gore, of this city, one of the founders of the society, relics of the expedition were colletced at Danes Island in 1898, the year after Andree began from | there his ill-fated air vovage; and in the same year the society contribut- ed to the expedition of Walter Well- man whose trip to Fridtjof Nansen Land (then Franz Josef Land) had as one of its most important aims a search for the missing explorer and his two companions Occupied Andree’s House “Dr. Gore with an assistant went fo Danes Island of the Spitsbergen group in July 1595, just a year after | ‘Andree’s ascent, to conduct some| gravitational experiments. The un- inhabited island had been left by Andree’s supporting party less than & year before. The little house oc- cupled by the balloonist was stand- ing, and in it Dr. Gore and his companion established themselves. “In the house Dr Gore found a| ooden replica of the old Swedish- | orwegian Union flag, left by An Bree, and this he brought with hi m| %5 Washington together with a sec-| tion of the crate that had held the| balloon and an envelope bea the official insignia of the exp tion. At the time of Dr. Gore's visit the balloon house was standing as it had been left on the day of the ascent, and the long wooden run- way over the jagged rocks was still coated with the axle grease that had been smeared on to facilitate the takeoff. “An unfortunate down gust of wind at the time of ascent may have had much to do with the tragic ‘erding of the flight, in the opinion ot Dr. Gore after his careful exam-| jnation of the situation of the bal- Jcon house. Air Current Caught Balloon “I am convinced.” he says, “that| it was a current of descending air, sweeping down from the top of the hill, rather than any fouling of the drag lines, as has been recently sug- gested, that caused the balloon to dip toward the water just after h was launched. I was told that An- dree and his companions quickly threw over considerable ballast, _with the result that the bag rose to |® great height, lifting the drag lines *8ut of the water. With the lines out "ot the sea, steering was impossible i®0 Andree released some of the hy- {@rogen that he had sought to pre- rve so carefully. The balloon en settled down again and when ‘the craft disappeared on the hori- gon it was progressing favorably in ® wind blowing from the south.” “The Wellman expedition of 1598, £ which the National Geographic Scclety contributed funds, expect- ed to find Andree and his compan- Jens at Cape Flora near the south- ernmost point of Franz Josef Land, Wwhich was recognized as a meeting place for arctic explorers. Failing to find the party, Wellman conclua- | ‘ed—erroneously, it now appears— that the balloonists had perished in the polar waters. “Records of the National Geo- |graphic Society dated 1907 refer to Andree's flight—the first effort to| conduct polar exploration through the air—as ‘the most daring of all schemes of polar exploration.’ Out- lining the Swedish balloonist's Bcheme, the account continues: Elaborate Steering Apparatus “The plan ldoked to the flotation o1 the balloon some 500 feet above the sea by means of three attached | Novack against Katherine NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1980.

This is the | way Horace Brewster, an old timer |of the Montana range told it to Hilger: Brewster said to happened back |in the early 80's on the big range south of here. The pony belonged | to a half-breed Indian cowboy who boasted the anjmal was the greatest | roping mount in the west. So, show- | ing oft ono day the breed cowboy | roped a two-year old steer, a “bad actor,” and chased it down the main street of the range town and up in front of a saloon. There the breed threw the stecr, snubbed the lariat | around the pommel of the saddle, coolly dismounted and entered the saloon, leaving his horse to manage the steer while he imbibed at the bar. Meanwhile, whenever the steer {and rode away amid moved one way or another, {n an at- tempt to regain his feet, the horse swung with the frantic animal and circumvented its efforts to rise. Brewster says the cowboy stayed in | the saloon long enough to get drunk and that the horse held the steer on the ground all that time—probably two hours—for it took about that long to get drunk in those days of better liquor, so the story goes. When the cowboy finally came stag- gering out of the saloon the horse was still holding the steer for the long count. The tipsy cowboy was helped into the saddle, unwound his lariat in a fumbling manner from the pommel, twitched the loop free from the steer’s horns and hooves loud cheers “for the horse” from the crowd of cow men that had & gathered to watch a feat they never had seen before.

Claik, contractor, who pays prisoners a small amount when their work is satisfactory, was partly responsible for the “strike” of prisoners at the county jail on Monday, Sheriff Pease said today in discussing the trouble at the jail. The sheriff said he had ordered a half dozen prisoners placed in the “oound over pen” because of the )| “strike” and that they wWuld re- main there until they decided to work. ‘While some believe lhe trouble is only a part of the general unrest displayed by priseners throughout the country in various penitentiaries, the sheriff did not view the situa- tion in a serious light today. Owing to the absence of former Mayor Clark, who has the contract at the stone block shop, some of the prisoners who work under him did not receive the small amounts, which they use to purchase tobacco and cigarettes, and this led to a small revolt. After the trouble broke out on Monday, at a iime when the sheriff and a number of his deputies were taking a large group of prisaners to the state reformatory and state's prison, the greater part of those in- Dole Causes Striké of Bridgeport Prisoners Several refused to work. This group is now in the “bound over” pen. “Bound over” prisoners are not re- quired to work while they are awaite ing trial, though some of them vol« unteer, the sheriff said. Practically all deputies of the county were at the jail at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, it was reported. The news of the “strike” did not leak out until yesterday.
