LOCKED UNDER ICE
WILKINS DEVELOPS PLAN FOR POLAR TRIP SUBMARINE ADVENTURE NEW YORK, Saturday. The New York “Herald-Tribune” (’omments upon Sir Hubert Wilkins’s proposed Polar expedition. It says his Project will restore to Arctic explora'ion all the glamour of hair-raising adventure of which it has been so largely robbed by tlio punctual exploits of airplanes and dirigibles. The thought of crossing an absolutely uncharted sea locked up in a submarine beneath the ice is enough to make an ordinary citizen turn pale to think of, remarks the paper, yet Sir Hubert is quite seriously developing his plans to do so. Curiously enough he seems to be convinced that it is all quite safe and the most natural and practicable thing in the world. To the serious minded the matter-of-fact undertaking of such an expedition can only heighten one’s admiration of Sir Hubert’s qualities, the writer concludes.
