ICE-BOUND VESSEL.
SUCCOUR FOR RUSSIANS.
(Independent Cable Service)
Received February 21, 10.20 a.m. MOSCOW, Feb. 20. Three ’planes are leaving Rudolf Island soon in an attempt to take food and scientific equipment to the Russian icebreaker Sedov, which has been frozen in the Arctic for two successive winters and is now reported to have drifted as far as 85.59 degrees north. This is nearer the Pole than was reached bv Dr Nansen’s Fram in its recordbreaking drift in 1895.
