A Danish torpedo seaplane, manned by volunteers, will set out this morning.
Leo Hansen, film photographer, and Christian Jensen, telegraphist, wintered at the Manok Company’s station. The Danish naval boat Godthaab went to their relief and became jammed in the ice 450 miles from the station. „ Meanwhile Jensen became ill, and lie and Hansen decided to try to reach the Godthaab in a motor boat, accompanied by two hunters, but were blocked in the ice near Cape Berlin a week ago.
