Canadian Ship in
Arctic Rescues
U.S. Expedition
OTTAWA, OP)—Canada’s new
arctic patrol vessel, the Labrador,
pushing her way through the
treacherous Northwest Passage,
took time out recently to rescue
a small American exploration
vessel from an ice jam 960 miles
below the North Pole.
The 6,500-ton Labrador butted
j through 20 miles of ice to free the
I 78-foot Boston dragger Monte
j Carlo and her crew of scientists
from narrow Baring Channel,
north of Prince of Wales Island.
! The Canadian navy disclosed
[ the incident in a progress report
j Thursday on the Labrador’s peri
' lous journey which, if completed,
successfully, will make her the
first major vessel to navigate the
i passage from the Atlantic to the
! Pacific.
The Monte Carlo and her crew
of scientists sailed from Portland,
Maine, last July to pinpoint the
Magnetic North Pole. The little
vessel became stranded in ice
near Meecham Island in the Bar
! ing Channel only a few miles from
| the magnetic pole.
| A Canadian Air Force recon
I naissance plane spotted the Monte
I Carlo s plight Aug. 19 and mes
I saged the Labrador.
The navy ship reached Baring
| Channel the following day but
j had to wait for fog to lift befoTe
entering the uncharted waters
only three miles wide. On Aug. 21
the Labrador reached the little
vessel.
The Monte Carlo was towed 15
miles, then proceeded under her
own power while the Labrador
hacked a path in the ice-caked
channel. Once clear, the American
ship’s fuel and provisions were
replenished and she started home.
The American scientific party
claim they are the first ever to
reach the magnetic pole. The Rev.
Daniel Linehan, 50-year-old Jes
uit priest who is internationally
known as a seismologist, said he
has records to prove the claim.
