AMUNDSEN’S FATE.
STILL BELIEVED ALIVE,
FISHING BOAT’S REPORT
(Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Sept. 3. A message from Oslo reveals that the seaplane float found by the fishing boat Brook near Vann Island has been identified beyond doubt as belonging to Captain Amundsen’s aeroplane. Nevertheless many refuse to believe that Amundsen is lost.
The Norwegian Journal of Commerce and Shipping declares that it is highly probable that he landed on the ice on the breaking off of the float, and urges the continuance of tho search beyond September 10, when it is proposed to abandon it. Advices from Oslo to-night state that three fishing vessels report smoke from a tent close to the edge of Vann Island during August 9 and 11. They were unable to investigate owing to a mass of mooring ice.
