An Arctic authority in “The Daily Express” points out that each Will fly in different directions, Captain Wilkins starting early in order to ovoid the thaws. In the event of Amundsen’s ship being unable to enter King’s Bay; where ho propoz?s to take the air, Wilkins has every chance of winning. On the other hand, it is possible that Amundsen will fly to Spitsbergen.—(A. and N.Z.)
