ANDREE'S EXPEDITION.

A PIGEON BRINGS NEWS FROM ANDRE E.

THE BALOON MAKING GOOD SPEED NORTHWARD.

(Per Press Association. — Copyright.) London, August 17. A pigeon bearing a message from Andree, the Swedish aeronaut who last month left Spitzbergen on a balloon voyage to the North Pole, has been shot by the captain of the sealing vessel Aiken between Norway and The Seven Islands off the coast of Lapland, near the entrance to the White Sea. The message states that at the time of despatch the balloon had passed the eighty-second degree of latitude, and was making good speed northwards. It bears Andree's signature, but the date is illegible.
