FEARS FOR HEN
AT POLE MED
Woodhouse, Who Planned
Trip, Says Panic of World
* Is Premature.
Br Consolidated Pres*.
NEW YORK. May 25.—Roald
Amundsen had mapped out four full
flays’ work at the North Pole and
fears for his safety are premature.
This statement was made here today
hy Henry Woodhouse. president of the
Aerial league of America, who plan
ned Amundsen's flight for him. helped
him procure his first aeroplane and
km>ws the full details of the work he
honed to accomplish. Woodhouse was
emphatic in his declaration that
Amundsen's stay at the Pole might be
extended indefinitely—perhaps 10 days.
He added that Amundsen proposed
definite studies and observations which
should require at least four days.
World Panicky.
"The world—or as much of it as
1* interested in the northern explora
tions of Capt. Amundsen and the fate
of his American companion, Lieut.
Ellsworth—has become panicky be
cause it has not heard from the flyers
.that they are safe.” he said. "But
they had no radio with them and
could not send bulletins on their prog
ress. And if they were meeting the
utmost success and completing the
work they and I planned they should
do they could not have left the Pole
for four days after reaching it.
"They will make plenty of observa
tions and photographs, for Amundsen
is a careful man and will not repeat
the mistake other explorers have
made of coming back with too meager
proof of their accomplishment.
"The last words Capt. Amundsen
said to me when T saw him not many
months ago were that he would stay
at the Pole until he found conditions
favorable enough to enable his deter
mining all he hoped to determine
about the existence of another conti
nent and the like if it took a year.
Needed Long Time.
“It would take some time, even with
the most accurate navigating instru
ments, and it might mean several
landings and repeated short flights, to
determine their position in flight and
Insure their landing at as near the
earth's axis as possible. If they did
not land within 20 miles of the pole
they would have to start all over
again, make new observations and try
once more for a landing that would not
give more than 20 mlies for the explor
ers to walk to their destination.
"It would take them hours, perhaps
days and weeks, to find the platform j
they must have which would be less
wobbly than an airplane from which
to make their observations.
"Where the ice is broken and clear
water flows in the Polar seas there
would be thick water clouds caused by
the condensation of vapor and the re
flection of the black water on the
vapor. These clouds would screen the
sun and prevent accurate observations
for days at a time, perhaps.
Ice Fields Drift.
“The ice fields about the Pole drift
in the Bummer time. Thus the ex
plorers might he carried far from the
Pole while doing their work—and their
■steps would have to be retraced.
“A series of 24 to 48 hourly obser
vations of the sun must be made, and
the hours of the day must be calcu
lated from the observations.
“But the longest part of the work
was to have been the circling of the
pole by the explorers, two of whom
were to have been sent out In dif
ferent directions at right angles to
the course they were steering, and a
third of whom was to continue on
that course for 12>,s miles, after which
the data obtained has to be checked
to establish the area within which
the pole is located.
'With all that to be done, there is
no cause to suppose the explorers
have been lost if they are not heard
from for two months or more.’’

of it is straight up. To acocmplish
he three-mile climb requires two and
a half hours of toil, some labor for a
team of horses, and even saddle
horses seldom make the heavy grade
under two hours.
Two Autos Beach Top.
Only two automobiles have ever
been known to reach the top. and
before going down their drivers were
obliged to chain large trees to their
rear axles to prevent a too sudden
descent. Upon reaching the foot both
cars promptly went to repair shops
for new gears and new brakes. To
the traveler who makes the ascent
by the old-fashioned horse and wagon,
however, there is spread out before
his eyes one of the most awe-inspir
ing sights in this country, and as the
delegates reached the summit this aft
ernoon they fairly shouted the praise
of the scenery. On one side the
mountain tumbles abruptly off into
the Shenandoah Valley: on the other it
rolls away across an undulating sea
of ragged peaks that are to comprise
the remainder of the proposed park.
More than a score of the pilgrims
to this garden spot of unspoiled
wilderness had a rather nerve-racking
taste of the fury of the elements on
their ascent this afternoon. When
they were about half way up a
thunderstorm broke with tremendous
force and the teams and riders were
obliged to seek shelter among the
towering trees. It was a hazardous
retreat, the lightning flashing and
crashing through the forests with
incessant cannonading.
Spend Anxious Minutes.
Although there were no accidents,
both those on the road and those al
ready safe in Skyland spent an anxious
half hour and the hazard those in
the woods were obliged to take was
proved a few minutes after the storm
passed. The first team to turn the
next bend in the road found it block
ed with a huge oak that had been
snapped within a few feet of the
ground by a bolt of lightning. It
would have crushed any team or
riders that might have been under it.
Before the caravan could proceed it
was necessary to send riders from the
summit with axes and chains to cut
and drag the obstruction from the
road.
As a result, it was well after 6
o’clock before the teams arrived at
their destinations, and many of the
delegates were drenched by the rain
that had beat through the curtains on
the wagons. The outstanding slogan
of this conference Is a State park
every hundred miles. There are hun
dreds of spots .throughout the country
which are too small for national
parks, but which would make ideal
connecting links, where the tourists
could camp overnight in the wilds. |
but at the same time be assured of
ample protection from marauding ani
mals and men. It is hoped that this
conference may develop a plan where
bv a motorist traveling from one na
tional park to another could reach
such a camping site within a short
day’s ride and thereby make his jour
ney a real out-of-doors vacation.

PLANES ONLY HOPE
OF PM RESCUE
U. S. Army and Navy Flyers
Think Explorers Must Be
Found by Air.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
If Capt. Amundsen is lost, he will
be found not by boat or sledge but
by airplanes.
This is the conclusion of Army and
Navy flyers here who have been study
ing the meagre reports from the
Arctic region and who point out that
it is one thing to rescue an explorer
under the conditions that prevailed in
Peary’s day and it is quite another to
scout by airplane in a zone of the
world where landing surfaces are so
uncertain.
When an Arctic explorer was lost
in the old days, the rescuing party
knew exactly the route that had been
taken and could by a series of marches
over the ice from a ship’s base
reach its destination. The ‘flight of
Amundsen by plane to the unknown
areas of the Northern world makes it
impossible to send sleds or boats for
the very good reason that a rescuing
party cannot know where to begin
the search.
Must Get Bearings.
Thus an airplane capable of with
standing Arctic temperatures and with
a pilot skilled in navigation, accord
ing to the experts here, first must lo
cate the missing men and then, with
out actually landing, send back word
to civilization of the exact bearings of
the party. Some planes equipped with
radio can send a relatively short dis
tance. so that if Amundsen is on the
ice somewhere near Spitzbergen a
plane might locate him. and after
sending back word by radio or bring
ing it hack the attempt to rescue could
be undertaken. The plane which sets
out to rescue might find it equally
hard to rise after once landing, so it
is thought here the rescue plane would
first wish to notify the world of the
exact location of the missing party.
There are so few planes equipped
to land in the Arctic that it is con
sidered doubtful whether two could
be mustered for the work. The
American Navy has three planes
capable of landing on ice or water.
Those are being prepared for the ex
pedition to the Arctic this Summer
and will be commanded by Comdr.
Byrd. The Navy Department may
change all its plans to rescue work
if the Norwegian government requests
it. though It is possible the aviation
bureaus of Great Britain or some
other European country, being nearer
the scene, might feel inclined to make
the search.
Have Enough Food.
If the explorers were not injured
in any forced landing, they have food
enough to last them until a rescue
expedition can get under way, even
though it might take five of six weeks
for the rescuers to locate the missing
men.
opinion here is divided as to the
fate of Amundsen. Some of the Navy
experts think Amundsen did not have
the safest kind of equipment, and
that, while he may know a great deal
about Arctic exploration on foot or
by sledge, he doesn't know aviation.
The Norwegian aviators are capable,
but It is questioned here whether
they were not overconfident about the
character of their equipment or their
steering information and meteorologi
cal data.

from First Page.)
Reports from the United States that
the United States Navy dirigible air
ship Shenandoah or Los Angeles
might be pressed into service to
search for the explorers have aroused
the keenest interest.
No Cause for Anxiety.
So far it is the general opinion here,
however, that there is no immediate
caure for anxiety. Many Norwegian,
other Scandinavian and English au
thorities say it is probable the party
reached the Pole and that Amundsen
now is awaiting favorable weather
conditions before attempting to return.
Sir John Scott Keltie, for many
years secretary of the Royal Geo
graphical Society and recognized as
an authority on matters relating to
the Arctic, told the Associated Press
today that Amundsen had the great
est confidence that there is land in
the vicinity f the North Pole. Sir
John said he Relieved that if Amund
sen has found this land he undoubted
ly has descended to make a thorough
investigation.
Sir John expressed the opinion that
such an attempt would be extremely
hazardous, but in view of Amundsen’s
long record of Arctic exploration he
declared that if any explorer could
land at the pole and return safely
that man is Amundsen.
In connection with the reports of
proposed rescue flights by American
dirigibles, the opinion was expressed
in scientific circles that should there
be no news of Amundsen within the
next few days such a relief expedition
would be of the greatest value.
Dirigible Needed.
It was pointed out that if Amundsen
and members of the party should be
forced to attempt to travel afoot on
a return trip from the North Pole at
this season they would be faced by
great stretches of open water and
floating drift ice and would have the
greatest difficulty in reachin- Green
land, which is the nearest land. A
dirigible airship, unhampered by con
ditions of surface ice or water, could
cover large areas of territory and
easily locate the foot travelers at a
long distance away, it was believed
by scientists here.
Other men here who have had
Arctic experience continued to agree
that there is every possibility of
Amundsen returning safely.
The Evening News quoted Capt. G.
Ellis, who piloted the airplane of the
University of Oxford’s Arctic expedi
tion to w ithin a few hundred miles ol
the. North Pole last year, as saying:
"I am sure Capt. Amundsen is safe.”
Ellis maintained the theory that
Amundsen never expected to be able
to return from the Pole by air. He
believes Amundsen landed on the
water at some open place or in a
“lane” between ice fields, got his food
and provisions on the nearest field,
abandoned the flying boats, "and at
this moment, is probably on his jour
ney back across the ice.”
No News Good News.
Ellis said "there is not a foot of
solid land between the North Pole
and Spitzbergen. There is not a living
soul in all that waste of ice. But
there is plenty of food and, although
it will be a dangerous journey, I think

Kills advanced another theory that
it is possible Amundsen miscalculated
the amount of gasoline necessary for
the round-trip flight, and that i.i re
turning he was forced to descend in
open water to the north of King’s
Bay. Even in this case Ellis was
confident that Amundsen would be
able to make his way by ice to King s
Bay.

naval attache at London, who accom
panied Amundsen on his expedition
to the- South Pole, told the Evening
Standard, that there is no reason for
anxiety regarding Amundsen’s fate.
Capt. Prestrud recalled that when
Amundsen readied the South Pole he
spent two days there making observa
tions and fixing his position, although
he previously had been able to make
daily observations en route to the
Pole. He said he thought Amundsen
would desire to si>end several days
making observations at the North
Pole before he would feel sufficiently
sure of his position to be ready to re
turn.
A dispatch from Copenhagen to the
Evening News quoted Col. Laug Coch,
chief of the Danish Air Service, and a
noted Arctic explorer, as saying there
is nothing disquieting in the lack of
news from Amundsen. Col. Coch said
he thinks its possible Amundsen might
have continued liis flight to Alaska,
notwithstanding previous statements
that it is impossible.
STILL DOUBT DISASTER.

NEW YORK, May 25 C4*l.—Mingled
expressions of pessimism and opti
mism are voiced by explorers and
aviators here regarding the fate of
the polar expe
dition. The Norwegian explorer, his
American backer and their four com
panions have not been heard from
since they left Spitzbergen for the
pole in two airplanes last Thursday
afternoon.
Rumors are afloat in Oslo, the Nor
wegian capital, that Amundsen has
returned to Spitzbergen. but nothing
has been received in official quarters
there from the north.

nothing alarming in his failure to re
turn to his base in 24 hours, as origi
nally planned. Karl Rossman, a pho
tographer. who lived in Amundsen's
supply hut at W&inwrlght, Alaska,
thought that Amundsen's thorough
ness was probably responsible for the
delay.
“If he has found a new continent
he will bag it so thoroughly that no
body will be able to question it,” Ross
man said.
Others feared a forced landing, in
jury to eithehr the planes or men. or
both, or some accident in either land
ing or taking off for the return. It
was pointed out, however, that the
expedition carried sufficient food for
a month, and that at tbe expiration of
that time the party should be In terri
tory where it could kill northern
game. Rifles and ammunition for this
contingency were carried in the
planes.
Believes Alaska Goal.
Bernon S. Prentice, brother-in law of
Lincoln Ellsworth, believed the planes
would land in Alaska. Mr. Prentice
said he felt no concern because of the
delay and that he expected no word
until tomorrow. Amundsen's desire to
find new lands would probably lead
him to steer for Alaska, Mr. Prentice
said.
This view was shared by Vilhjalmur
Stefansson and other explorers, al
though dispatches from Nome, the
Alaskan capital, threw doubt on the
probability of Amundsen’s aiming for
the American peninsula.
No concerted plans for a relief party
have been made, but the American
expedition of Comdr. Donald MacMil
lan is leaving Boston for the Arctic in
June and the United States Navy
dirigibles Los Angeles and Shenandoah
may be utilized In case of necessity.
Comdr. MacMillan already has ex
pressed his Intention of going to the
rescue, provided there is a call.
