LONDON, August 20. Stefansson, the famous explorer, announces that the schoorier.“ Donaldson" sailed from Neme, Alaska, on August 2 to rescue the four Britisher's marooned on Wrange! Island since September, 1921. A 1914 CLAIM.
The "Donaldson's" departure was kept secret in order to prevent interception by the Soviet authorities who were recently reported to have ordered the capture of any British ship trying to reach the island which the Soviet claims to be Russian.
The Britishers were landed in 1921 to preserve British rights again asserted by the Canadian Gov- ernment in 1914.
[Wraugel Island, situated south-east of Alaska, ps named after a famous Russian explorer of the polar regions. There is a settlement which is the port for fur-traders and the mining centre. The population (including native Indians) is about goo, An earlier cable stated that the Soviet authorities at East Cape had advised Mr. Noice, the head of the expedition to relieve the Crawford party ma ooned on Wrangel Istund, that unless his ship the Donaldson" called at Petropavlovsk.for clearance papers and at East Cape for a contingent of Red guards to be taken to the island the "Donaldsod would be confiscated. Although Crawford raised the British flag when he landed on the island, it was understood the Soviet claim's the island wanted a Red guard to accompany Noide in order to calorce payment of taxes on furs taken by the Crawfed party.]
