CONCERN FELT FOR SAFETY
WILKINS' ARCTIC SUBMARINE
OSLO, Norway, Sept. 4.—Serious concern was felt here last night for the safety of the Nautilus, Sir Hubert Wilkins' arctic submarine, when no news of the ship had been received for four days. Authorities requested all amateur radio operators to try to establish communication with the submarine. All official wireless stations have been calling the Nautilus without results for several days.
The captain of the Norwegian coaling steamer, Ingerte, reported yesterday that he heard faint signals from the submarine but that these were too weak to be read. The suggestion was made here that the signals might have come from the submarine's portable transmitter which may have been carried out on the ice by the crew.
