Amundsen. discoverer of tho couth

post on the Bearing sea' eastern Si
beria, according to a wireless message
i'rom Anadir received last night. The
dispatch gave; no details other than
suggesting . that the . explore had

It was the explorer's plan to drive me

then to lodge her in the ice and pei
mit her to be dragged along with '.ha
enormous floes. Amundsen belle .'eel
his ship would be carried to the vicin

of the, Lena river on the northern Si
berian coast. Here he believed ihe
ice would be driven to the northward
and thought it would lake him iwu.
tho north nole.
Some Uncertainty.
There is some uncertainty as to the
exact point rciichcel by Amundsen in
Siberia. Anadir is not the name of a
town, but o a river, which rises north
west of Kamchatka and flows cast
j ward, emptying Into the Pacific. To
reach this river by the sea, he would
have been forced to go through Bering
strait between Siberia and Alaska. '
There is a Russian trading post
known as Anadyrsk located on tho
Anadir river, about 300 miles from the
mouth of the stream, but Amundsen
could not reach it by vc3Bel, as Is un
derstood in reports. If he should
have reached that town, it seems prob
able ho landed on the northern coast
of the continent and made the trip
southward by land. ,
Tho mouth of the Anadir river is
about 3,000 miles cast of Dixson inl
and, where Amundsen began his long
Arctic voyage.
Amundsen's purpose was not pri
marily to reach the north pole, but to
make scientific observations. ake
soundings, study the drift of Polar ;cc
and collect important data as to
oceanic conditions in the far north.

NEW YORK, April 23. It is quite
possible that Captain Ronald AmUnd

at Anadir, eastern Siberia, may have

Hovey, of the American Museum of

Dr. Hovey headed an expedition to
the relief of Explorer Donald McMillan

was himself frozen in Ihe Artie ice
for nearly two years in Parker Snow

Tokio and Nagoya were also closed.
The failure of the bank which has de
