A party of fishermen told the Norwegian Admiralty that they had discovered on Bear Island plateau, two wheel tracks extending for 80 feet in the snow, leading to the edge of a cliff above the sea. On the edge of the cliff they found a piece of a fur coat, a fur cap, and a fragment of wood. The Admiralty is investigating whether these clues are connected with Capt. Roald Amundsen.
