AMUNDSEN FAMOUS POUR
EXPLORER ARRIVES IN
NOME FROM NORTH
Captain Roald' Amundsen, the in
trepid Polar Explorer, is again in
our midst, haring arrived Thursday
afternoon by dog team.
Amundsen left Wainwright Nor.
19th with the Point Barrow mail
carrier going to Keewjhlik and !
Deering. At Deering the Captain |
purchased a team of five dogs and ;
accompanied by John Hojrer started
for Nome. Prom Deering the trav
elers went across the head of the
Inmach.uk river, thru the Kougarok,
down PHgrim river and reached
Nome Dec. 14th, after a trying trip
thru deep soft snow. The travel
ers each bad their own teams and |
were merely companions enroute.
Both men came to Nome on differ
ent missions.
Captain Amundsen made the trip
to Nome to visit his fiends and to ]
wile away the long, tedious days and ,
nights incident to the far north.
His camp at Wainwright is equipped (
with all conveniences possible to,
obtain and both be and his sole.
companion, Lieut. Omdahl, have no j
complaint to make. Captain ;
Amundsen decided that as long as!
there was no opportunity to advance
hie scientific work during the long
dark days he might just as well
make a trip to civilization and get
in touch with the Outside world I
and incidentally learn.the where-]
a bouts of his good ship “Maud.” |
The Wainwright station has no i
wireless’ with which to hear or com
municate ' with • other fctitions and |
coman unication therefore > Hr only,
thru the.^nce-a month mail service.
We have been informed that at
Waingwright the flight plane has
been partially set up and is .com
plete except attaching the wings.
AH parts have been assembled and
the machine Is housed in a storm
proof building, enabling Lieut Om
dahl to make dally investigations of
his machine, to see that no ruet ac
cumulates or any part becomes in
The plane will be equipped with
hugh hickory shii runners so that
the take off at Wainwright and the
intermediate landings and that at
Spitzbergen can be accomplished on
the Ice. Were wheels only to be
used a great danger would be pres
ent in that any small obstacle would
tend to upset and wreck the ma
The take off will take place late in
May or early in June, all depending
on the weather conditions.
Captain Amundsen will remain in
i Nome for an Indefinite period. Hei
expects to return to Wain wright
after the dark and cold days ton
ended and the sun again starts on
its trip north.
TJ|e Captain is glad1 to be back in
Nome among his old friends' add
wishes all a Merry Xmas and Happy
Those -who know the genial Cap
tain well are struck by the (act that
he has lost considerable weight.
Mushing dogs and other strenuous
work incident to his establishment
of winter quarters has had the ef
fect of taking off all surplus flesh
and the Captain is now down to his
fighting weigth. His health if
perfect and he is no doubt anxiously
waiting for the time to arrive when
h*> and his aviator, Lieut. Omdahl
can make their long contemplated
flight across the top of the woild.
May they be successful and line
long; the world needs more men of
their type, men who are not afraid;
men who have the courage of their
convictions and the will of steel to
accomplish.
