FOR AMUNDSEN
Search for Noted Explorer and
Companions Turns to
Greenland
Oslo, July 24. -UP- Search along
the east coast of Greenland for Roald
Amundsen and his five companions,
missing in a French seaplane since
June 18, was being organized today.
The director of the meteorological
institute at Tromsoe, who supplied
all the polar expeditions with weather forecasts, has calculated the prob-
able whereabouts of the plane on
the assumption that it came down
somewhere near Bear island, midway
between Norway and Spitzbergen,
and allowing for its drift.
To put the theory to a test Meteorologist Devold and five fishermen
are going to the eastern coast of
Greenland to visit all food depots
there. They will travel by the motor-
ship Terningen and put in first
at Moucheron bay.
The French vessel Pourquoi Pas,
with Dr. Jean Charcot aboard, left
Tromsoe last night on a westerly
course. It will also skirt the coast
of Greenland and along the great ice
barrier.
