DISCOVERY OF ANDREE.

DR. HORN’S REPORT. THREE BODIES FOUND. united Press Assn.. —Elec. Tel. copyright (Received September 2, 10.20 a.m.) OSLO, September 1, Dr. Horn, interviewed, said: “I first discovered cooking apparatus marked with the name of a Swedish firm. After a search I found a body, whioh was clearly identifiable as that of Andree, propped against a rock. One cheek was eaten away by bears. A seoond body was found in an ice-covered cleft, while a third was found in a canvas boat filled with ice.” Dr. Horn expressed the opinion that Andree and his companions died of cold and exhaustion after a long march over the ice. They had not time to build a shelter, and could not have lived long'after reaching White Island. Dr. Horn cannot positively say the bodies are thosa of Andree and his companions. The diary consists of only a few pages.) Captain Groendal, of the ship Hanseatic, states that he visited White Island, where the bodies were found, three weeks before the Horn party landed, to look for traces of the Nobile expedition, having a belief that the missing members would some day turn up in those regions. They -found a tin box, some papers, and a tent pole, which all looked too old to be con-, nected with Nobile.
