ARCTIC EXPEDITION
DELAYED BY STORMS. (Times Cable.) Received Alay 7, 10.11 p.m, LONDON, May 7. A message from the Gertrud Rask states that heavy storms have delayed Lieutenant Martin Lindsay’s British Arctic expedition to attempt a sledge journey of 800 miles across the Greenland ice-cap. The Gertrud Rask is a steamer of 400 tons, and is conveying the party to the west Greenland coast. She struck the pack-ice 80 miles south of Egedesniinde, where she should have arrived six days ago. High winds blew her 50 miles off her course.
