turn them has been almost to -destroy them -have told the story of the last days of Salamon Auguste Andree Swedish explorer and his two companions who in 1897 tried to fly over the north pole in a balloon The pages are those of Andrews diary part of which he wrapped in an old jersey and placed beneath his arctic shirt next to his body before he lay down to die on the ice of White island late in 1897 Thus preserved they were found by Dr Gunnar Horn and others of a Norwegian arctic expedition last month with remains and other relics of the balloon expedition and were brought back here for minute examination and publication The diary records the start of the balloon from Danes island Spitsbergen on July 11 189Z with favorable auspices for a successful flight over the north pole toward land ort the opposite hemisphere where they hoped -to come down safely much as did the dirigible Norge nearly 30 years later FIRE IN CABIN But almost from the start mis-fortunte pursued them The gas bag leaked and the balloon and its appurtenances became weighted down with ice and frost It lost its buoyancy and at times bumped along the Ice On the third day out there was a fire in the cabin of the balloon but it was promptly extinguished The diary records then: balloon again rose but both valves were opened in preparation for a landing The next week from'July 14 to July 21 was kpent

Each of the three men had their experience with falling into these pools but all kept up their spirits laughing and joking in the face of adversity Frankel and Stringberg developed diarrhoea and both suffered from bruised feet MAKE NO HEADWAY The irony of that long march did not at first appear but on August 4 they knew from observations as to their position that while traveling east the ice was drifting westward at an even greater rate Their position August 4 was 82:17 north 22:43 east about 60 miles west of their starting point After some consideration they turned here and began a belated journey toward Seven islands off Spitzbergen where there were caches of food and supplies Their own food was running low They were on shortened rations and the outlook was pretty glum They killed some polar bears which Andree calls meat shops of the and with each successive kill the prospects of the party brightened i There were days when no bears appeared and then men went hungry ALWAYS A SCIENTIST During all this travel interest as a scientist never flagged Occasionally on the ice hummocks he would pick off specks of clay and bits of moss which the ice had picked up somewhere in the course of its wandering in the arctic and he saved some twenty of them carrying them along when every ounce must have added considerably to their burden One of the specimens so taken Andree dried by putting next to his bare chest It was his Idea that valuable information as to the ocean drifts might be obtained from the samples As the party slowly approached the coast of Spitzbergen they were given rest periods when from time to time it would be necessary to load their canvas boat and row for a while across the pools of fresh water on the open ocean between the He left his future address
