ANDREE'S EXPEDITION.
FURTHER RELICS POUND. (TOTTED 2BK3S ABSOaATIOK—BT KLECTEIO TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.) STOCKHOLM, September 7. The newspaper which dispatched a. special expedition to White Island to investigate the Andree discoveries reports the finding of a well-arranged camp, containing a ■ large quantity of balloon cloth, ballast, baskets, instruments, and also a skull and another skeleton. The newspaper says: It seems that Andree and his comrades, contrary to former suppositions, landed by means of the balloon on White Island. Bones of seals, bears, and birds found in the vicinity indicate that the men lived a long time on the island. They did not starve, because plenty of preserved provisions was still there. The skeleton is belioved to be that of Fraenkel, the third member of the expedition. His notebook and scientific instruments and pieces of the gondola of the balloon were also found. Tie camp was apparently in excellent order, suggesting that some swift catastrophe, such as a blizzard, caused the death qf the explorers.
