THE LURE OF THE POLE.
NANSEN'S EXPEDITION. ZEPPELIN FLIGHT IN 1927. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) BERLIN, June 3. Mi* Walter Bruns, who is organising the Nansen expedition to the North Pole in 1927, announces that a huge Zeppelin is being built at Schuttelanz. To avoid the summer fogs, the airship will leave a base at Murmansk in April or May, flying over Franz Josef Land to the North Pole, and afterwards over an unexplored spot known as the "White Spot." The Zeppelin will have a speed of 75 miles an hour, and will carry enough fuel for 100 hours' flight.
