Lieut. Stranz Found By Rescuers
After All Hope Had Been
Abandoned.
Bremen, German, July 2 5.—
A wireless message w-as-received
here today telling of the rescue
of Lieut. Schioeder-Stranz, the
German Arctic explorer, who
iyis been lost in the Arctic f<^r a
year.
1 All hope had been obandoimd
i for the leader of the German ex
pedion, by the survivors who
reached Norway early last May.
The exploring party, which was
composed of eleven Germans
and live Norwegians, set out in
June, 1912, in the ship Herzog
Ernst, under command of Gapt.
Kitscher.. In August the ship
ran short of provisions and was
Resupplied by llamburg-Amer
ican liner Victoria Luise, which
was cruising in the Arctic with
passengers. Nothing further
was heard of the " party until
Ilitschdr/ arrived alone at Ad
vent Bay, after a long and terri
ble overland journey, and repor
ted that disaster had overtaken
the expedition at Widge Bay.
llilseller held out little hope
of the members of the expedi
tion being rescued; but two re
lief parties sel out, one compos
ed of Norwegians, the other
formed by employes of the Nor
thern Exploration Company.
'Four members of the Geijpian
expedition, namely, Dellmers,
Moescr, Eberhard and Stave,
died. The first two were drown
ed, Eberhard was frozen to
death, and Stave died offer an
illness. Sclyoeder-Stranz had
not been found until recently.
He left the ship with •hron Ger
mans on a sledge journey in
August, 1912. It is supposed
that he crossed Hinlopen Strait
to Northeast Land, a wild and
desolate region, where food
would be extremely scarce.
