ARCTIC EXPLORERS.
SNOWSTORM AT SVALBARD. AIRSHIP HANGAR ENVELOPED. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. (Received May 15, 5.5 p.m.) SVALBARD. May 14. A terrific snowstorm lasted all night at Svalbard and the snow enveloped the hangar in which General Nobili's airship Italia is housed. Hundreds of men are now engaged in shovelling a roadway from the supply ship Citta di Milano to the hangar. All the telephone wires have been blown down and communication is most difficult. It is impossible to say when the Italia will make her next flight.
