During Pioneer In Aviation 8 to r t e d Trans-Polar Journey In Balloon 29 Years Ago—N e v e r ., Heard From Again. WABHINGTON, Mny 18.—-ngh up‘on top of the world. when men risk their lives for [levy and where the ion from endless specs coms whis ling down to howl about tho otsrnsl winter of tbs north pole, tho northlsnd is still keeping its strong- sot. molt romantic mystery hugged closo to its brout. Byrd and Amundsen have flown over the pole snd are alive to foil about it. They have seen lands that no men over ssw before; they hsve pushed their flying machines through space that was empty since tlrss begun— But they have not solved the mys- tery of the lost balloon of Solomon Andres. most daring aviator of then: sit. When hllf 0. dozen serial expedi' tlonshesdsd north this spring to ex. piors the polar futursses. one of the most interesting phases of the wholo business was tho possibility thnt the ”wear mystery of Andrea‘s fate would be cleared up—tho possibility thst some part of tho wrecked bul- A Tremendous Risk. Any svlstor who tries to explore the srctic by air is taking a. long chsnco—a very long chance. But Andree. who tried it before airplanes snd dirigibles and radio had even been invented. took a. risk that fairly dwarfs those of Byrd and Amundsen. It wu in July. 1897, that Andrcc mods hip- uttempt. With him were Knot Frsenkel and Nils Strindberg. Their craft was s balloon. motorlcss and rudderiess. Those three men, with breath-tak- ing during. bet their lives that they could drift with the wind across the north pole. land safely somewhere and make their way back to clviilzu. tlon on foot. if necessary. Compared with Byrd's cmclent nir- plsns or Amundsen's huge dlrlglblc. their balloon was extremely primi- tive. Its globular bag was about 70 feet in dismetsr. Below it was suspended s basket, seven feet wide and seven feet deep, watertight and covered by s roiled observation deck. Sleeping quss'ters were inside the basket. 0n the deck were observation instru- ments. control cords and sacks of ballast. A peculiar sail-like attachment wls fastened to the lower part of the bsg. With this they expected to be sble to exercise some kind of control over their movements. But they were almost entirely at the mercy of the wind. For weeks they waited at Kings Boy, Spitsbergen for favorable weather. At last the wind come strong snd steady from the south. Tho three men climbed in the has- ket, cost off their. moorings and sailed sway. _ Up over the waves went the glist- ening bslloon. following the, wind to the north. The watchers on shore strslned their eyes to follow it; it drifted steadily northward. shrinking sud shrinking until it was s. mere dot on the sky. Then it went over the horizon completely and the men on shore could see it no longer. And no one ever saw it again. Pigeon Brings Tidings. A number of carrier pigeons had been taken aboard the balloon. to be released at regular intervals. Only one of these came back. It had been released two days after the balloon had started and bare it message start. ing that all was well and that the balloon had traveled about 175 miles to the nbrth. ‘ That is all that is known. Whether the balloon settled on to the pole and past. whether it dropped in the sea for from its goal or whether it crashed on somd bleak arctic islet are matters for conjec- ture. Probably it never will be known. Neither will the world ever know Just what took place in that seven- foot basket at. the very last: how the men fought to keep their craft afloat. staggered about as the wind sent the bag spinning. waited between hope and despair as tho gained] tem- porary sdvantsge—nnd finally real- ized that they hud lost their desper- ate. gamble. . “w « - i man's inim— .. ii Row!
