THANKS.

[THROUGH RIUTER'S AGENCY.]

Moscow, July 13th.

A graphic account of the rescue of Lieutenant Viglieri and his com- panions is told by Professor Samoilovitch, who is in command of the Arassin Expedition, in & report to the Soviet Government,

Watchers on the decks of the ice breaker saw their first signs of life in a badly wrecked aeroplane, which turned out to be that which Captain Lundborg, the Swedish aviator, crashed.

Shortly afterwards the red tent, in which the Viglieri party have been living, cut off from the world for roughly 30 days, was sighted. Blasts Of The Sirez, The Arassin was at that time at least three miles away, but it at tracted the attention of the Italia party by repeatedly sounding the siren. The almost

deafening shrieks evoked a response in the form of smoke-signals from the Italia.

The "Arassin' cut a way into the ice-field and when members of the Soviet ship climbed down a ladder to the ice after getting close to the party, they were heartily am braced by the Italians, who declar ed that all their hopes had been pinned on the Krassin, but in their fondest dreams they had not ex- pected her so soon.'

Justified By Practice.

As regards the action of Chiet Constable Wensicy, Superintendent Sarage and Chief Inspector Col- line in bringing Miss Savidge to Seatland Yard, they are held at blameworthy only because they fol lowed what was the established practice, but the application of the practice in this particular case is disapproved of as it is thought that Miss Savidge should have been approached through her parents.

Minority Report.

The Minority Report, signed by Professor Lees Smith, Labour M.E. for Keighley, says that the method Lieut. Viglieri, a navigator, who of taking Miss Savidgo to Scotland was placed in command" following Yard is deserving of censure, ol General Nobile's rescue:

which the chief part falls on La- Trojani, the engineer of the epector Collins, and a minor share Italia;

on Chief Constable Weasley" and Professor Behounek, the Czecho-Superintendent Savage, because Slovakian meteorologist member of Mirs Savidge was misled as re the expedition;

gards the nature the enquiry she would have to undergo regarding her interrogation at Scotland Yard. Professor Lees Smith concludes that Miss Savidge was a more credible witness than either Inspec- for Collins or Sergeant - Clark.

Guiseppe Biagi, the wireless operator.

Profesor Samoilovitch reports | that all are comparatively well with the exception of Ceccioni, who is suffering from a broken leg an injury sustained when the gondola crashed. His condition is not regarded as serious, though lack of proper treatment will ham per his recovery.."

Heavy Fog.

The Arassin is at present obliged to remain in the ice-floe on which the Viglieri party have been 50 lang marooned, owing to a heavy fog, which is delaying their de parture in search of the party of Alpinists, who are lost and are believed to be at Foyn Island.

Afterwards the Krasain will pick ap Captain Tchuknovsky, the Soviet aviator, who was forced down after giving the happy in- formation regarding the Mariano party, and is taking refuge ça Cape Platen.

The Next Move,

It is probable that the Frassin will then establish a base at Virgo Bay, and conduct from that point asearch for the remaining seven members of the Italia crew.”“

Professor Samoilovitch reports having received a message from General Nobile stating that he deeply grateful for the rescues and begging the Krussin to search for Alessandri (presumably, says the Moscow message, the Alpinist) but the Professor says that he must first re-coal at Advent Bay,

The Contrast,

The police asked Miss Savidge questions which they ought not to have asked and certain of her re- plies were forced into a form mis representing what she wished to say,

Professor Lees Smith says that grave perils to private citizera and civil liberty are revealed by Miss Savidge's experience and con- cludes by suggesting fifteen ques tions regarding the Scotland Yard system, a full reply to which. will need investigation into still wider fields of police administration and control.

Practice Criticised.

A British wireless report. states that although the usual practice. was followed by the police and no coercion was used, the Majority Report expresses the view that the Practice should be amended and steps be taken to secure that when the character or reputation of a valved in an enquiry, and where witness is the matter chiefly
