FRANKLIN LOG BOOKS
Young Explorer to Make Further Search London, August 4. Mr. Francis Pease, the young British explorer, announces that he will make a second attempt in October to'find Sir John Franklin’s log books. Alone he will try to cross hundreds of miles of ice and snow to wrest from the Arctic a 90-year secret. • Mr. Pease sledged 11,000 miles in 1935 in an effort to penetrate to King William Island, where Franklin is buried, but an accident ended the venture 400 miles from the objective. He says that on the journey he met an old Eskimo, whose father had seen the body taken ashore from Franklin’s ship.
