SAILING UNDER ICEFIELDS OF

THE ARCTIC.

Final preparations are almost completed for a daring submarine expedition to the North Pole, which will be led this Summer by Sir Hubert Wilkins, the distin- guished Australian explorer.

The reconditioning of the sub. murine is proceeding apace, and it is expected that the vessel will leave the Philadelphia Navy Yard within a month.

Trials will be carried out until the end of April, when the pedition will start on its thrilling voyage to the Arctic circle.

be eighteen aboard, including the| British, American, German, and Dutch nationalities, and myself, representing Australia.

When the Nautilus is ready, it will be taken to Maine or Nova Scotia, where the crew will test the ice-cutting machinery and the equipment for coasting both along the bottom of the ocean and beneath the ice pack.

"We will leave for London dur- ing the latter part of April After a few days there, we will continue to Norway and Spitz- bergen.

Fifty Days Trip.

"On July 1 we shall start the ex-long trip which will take us from Spitzbergen to Alaska by way of the North Pole. I figure that we

will can do the trip in fifty days.

When it reaches the Arctic re- gions it will submerge and pass through the great ice barriers by cruising twenty-five feet under the surface.

The submarine will be able to remain under the ice for two and a half days, and travel at an average speed of three and a-half miles an hour.

The purpose of the expedition

"From Spitzbergen we head for the Behring Sea, circling the globe. The average thick ness of the ice should be about ten feet, but in order to avoid spikes we will probably submerge to a depth of twenty-five feet.

"Our radio will keep us in con- tact with the outside world inter- The drill will bore mittently.

is to study ice conditions in mid-holes in the ice, and through Summer in the Arctic with a view these holes we will hoist to establishing a score of meteo-

radio antennac. rological stations from which ob- servations of weather conditions can be made which may prove of inestimable value to the remain der of the world,

The submarine, which is named Nautilus, was formerly attached to the United States Navy, and has been leased by the Govern- ment to Sir Hubert. It is 376ft. long, and is of 350 tons.

"The Nautilus will carry an electric refrigeration system which will convert the interior of the submarine into a modified re- frigerator."

Sir Hubert said that electrical engineers estimated that if the sub- temperature inside the marine was higher than the water outside it would result in condensation of moisture in the interior, making conditions un- bearable.

Scientific apparatus has been fitted to the submarine which will enable it to bore through ice fifty

The refrigeration will keep the feet thick, while steel

The submarine will alsó be

equipped with a balloon for ob, servations, and will be provided with both radio and television apparatus,
