AMUNDSEN SAVED
W r e venture to think that few items of nows flashed over the cables during recent weeks will be more welcome than that which reports the safety of Captain Amundsen, who, after setting out to .search for General Nobili, disappeared in the. icy rogiqns of the Arctic. Hope that he and his companions would be rescued was becoming feeble, when fishermen reported 1 that they had seen the great explorer’s seaplane flying in the direction of Spitzbergen about the time it was lost to the outside world. This clue nils followed, and today we have the welcome news that Amundson has been picked up and is on his way to Tromsoe. Another chapter in a story which once again proves truth is often stranger than Action.
