ARCTIC AIR ROUTE
THE GREENLAND EXPEDITION SEARCH FOR COURTAULD. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. STOCKHOLM, April 27. (Received April 28, at 12.5 p.m.) The famous pilot, Captain Ahrenberg, is leaving in a Junker amphibian to locate Courtauld. One of the greatest difficulties will be obtaining petrol supplies in Greenland. It is pointed out that only one other expedition has succeeded in wintering on the ice cap in Greenland. [The leader of the British Arctic air route expedition telegraphed on April 22 that the weather was preventing the party despatched last month to relieve the central station at the ice cap from locating it; consequently anxiety was felt for the safety of Augustin and Courtauld, who volunteered to man the station alone in the winter time. A stronger relief party under Watkins hoped to reach the ice cap before the end of April.]
