“CAUGHT LIKE RATS IN A TRAP.”
AMUNDSEN’S GAMBLE WITH DEATH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. 1? (Received June 20, noon.) LONDON, June 19. Amundsen says that there was nothing in his South I’olar expedition comparable with the hardships of flying. The party were caught like rats in a trap. When they started for home, they realised that it was a case of life and death. Prestrud, who accompanied Amundsen to the South Pole, is of opinion that the best means of reaching the Pole is by airship, which could be anchored to avoid the risk of being frozen in.
