RESCUE SHIP SETS OUT
(Independent Cable Service.) (Received May 13, 1.10 p.m.)
OSLO, May 12,
An expedition is to start today from Aalesund to rescue the explorer Count Micard, who a few days ago sent a radio message from his base in Greenland that he was weakening daily from an unknown illness. The ship is expected to reach the ice barrier in three or four days, and is carrying an aeroplane, which will try to land near the hut where Count Micard is sheltering 125 miles away.
