AMUNDSEN'S PARTY AT THE POLE MANY UGLY SITUATIONS. (UNITED TRESS ASSOCIATION I —COPYRIGHT.) (Ausrr.AUAN-NEvr Zealand cable association.) (Received 20th June, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 19th June. A wireless message from the Heimdal at Spitsbergen to-day states that of the six men who participated in the Polar flight, Captain Amundsen shows the most traces of the hardships the party underwent, but the others state that this is because Amundsen worked the hardest of. all.
Captain Amundsen says that on the expedition to the South Pole he met with nothing which could be compared with what they had just undergone. Ho would not believe that such experiences as they had undergone during the last three weeks could ever have befallen him. He hopes that nobody else will ever have them, adding: "We were literally caught like rats in a trap. Many times the situation was so ugly that we were tempted to throw up "the sponge, and when we finally started for home everyone realised that-it was a case of life or death." .
