Many of the things which the Horn party found were dug up from a depth of 18 inches or more. It is considered possible that body, lies further down in the ice.

It appeared that something happened very suddenly and unexpectedly to bring down the balloon on the ice when it was less than SQO miles from the north pole 33 years ago. While the diaries still remain secret, it is known unofficially one of them contains the information the balloon descended at 12:30 p. m. July 13,1897, Just 46 hours after the start from Island, Spitsbergen.

Earlier on July 13, when the balloon, it was presumed, was nearing the end of its second day out, its occupants dispatched a carrier pigeon containing the message: Journey and with the additional information of wind, 145 miles north and 45 miles east of the starting There certainly was nothing in the carrier message which was received soon afterward, to indicate an approaching descent, or trouble of any sort. Since so little time elapsed between dispatch of the pigeon and descent of the balloon, the descent may have been due to a sudden storm, a rapid hydrogen leak, or ether sudden, and unexpected cause.
