AMUNDSEN WILL FLY
TO THE NORTH POLE
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. — To soar
over the north pole in a hydro-aero
plane is the ambition of Roald Am
undsen, the Norwegian explorer, who
a few years ago attained the south
pole. Capt. Amundsen arrived here
today from Copenhagen to purchase
two hydro—aeroplanes for that pur
pose.
Starting in the summer of 1018, he
said he expects to be in the Far
North for two to five years. The
main object of his flight, Capt. Am
undsen declared, would be to study
the air currents around the pole.
“1 shall follow the coast of Si
beria until the ice breaks up and then
drift toward the pole,” said Capt.
Amundsen. “The drift should taxc
us to a point somewhere between
1 Spitzbergen and Greenland, after v.e
have made an almost complete circle
of the top of the globe.
“1 hope to be within 100 miles of
the pole or 150 at the farthest, when
I leave the ship. Then we will fol
low the dash by hydro-aeroplane or
sledge.”
“1 care nothing for the mere ac
complishment of reaching the north
pole. That feat has already been
achieved and it has resulted in no
practical good to anybody. Hit, if
having reached the northernmos; re
gions, I can soar in a hydro aero
plane, I propose to make a study of
air currents high above the pole.
“At the same time my party will
take observations of the currents far
below the surface of the water in the
Arctic basin. Thus a comparison of
! the curents, high and low, will be
possible, and this, I believe, will be
of value to science.”—Ex.

TINKER NEARLY DROWNS
PEORIA, III., Nov. 27.—Joe Tink
er, manager of the Chicago National
League Baseball Club, narrowly
escaped death by drowning today
when his boat struck a submerged
stump and capsized in the Illinois
| river.
A fisherman pulled Tinker out of
the water after he had gone down
the second time. Aside from being
chilled through for the icy water, it
is believed Tinker will suffer no ill
effects.—Ex.

GERMAN SUBMARINE TAKES
MOVING PICTURE OF VICTIM
PARIS, Dec.l— How six members
of the crew of the steamship San Ber
nardo, bound from Philadelphia, had
moving pictures taken of them on
board the German submarine just be
fore their ship was sunk by the under
water boat, is related by one of the
crew in the Temps today. The Ger
man officer when he boarded the ves
sel noticed a man wearing an over
coat.
“Who is this gentleman?” the Ger
man asked.
‘The supercargo, a French citizen,
representing the owners”, replied the
captain of the San Bernarda.
“Let him some uboard the sub
marine with five engineers,” said the
German.
“I shall keep them as hostage.”
The six men were kept in conversa
tion on board the submarine by the
underwater boat’s commander while
bombs were being placed on board the
San Bernardo. When the steamer
blew up there was a moving picture
operator on the bridge of the sub
marine, who took a picture of the

“You seem to be annoyed,” said the
German Captain in French to the su
percargo, as the latter glanced to
ward the camera.
“Naturally, I would rather be a
hundred miles away from you,” re
plied the supercargo, “but since you
have, without regard to our feelings,
taken our pictures, Berliners will see
that the English and French always
have the smile.”
The story adds that the men were
not detained as hostages, but after
the camera man had them on his
films and their ship had been blown
up, they were placed in one of the
boats with other members of the
crew of the San Bernardo and later
landed at Newcastle.
A dispatch from London August 12
announced that the British steamer
San Bernardo, a vessel of 11,907 tons,
