GREENLAND EXPEDITION
ANXIETY FOR MEMBERS COPENHAGEN, August 30. (Received August 31, at 9.30 p.m.) Anxiety is being felt for the British Arctic expedition which left the West Greenland coast in May for Mountforel, where the base camp was of the Watkins expedition of 1930-31. The expedition hoped to reach Angmagsalik in time to embark for Denmark by the steamer Gertrude Rask, who has not arrived. Unless the expedition picks up the Gustav Holm at Scorcsby Sound or gets into contact by wireless with Aberdeen, the schooner Jaccnt must winter in Greenland. The party consists of Mr Andrew Croft and Lieutenants Lindsay and Godfrey. All are under 30 years of age.
