THE TRUTH ABOUT NOBILE'S RESCUE.

CAPTAIN EINAR LUNDBORG TELLS HIS STORY:

AIR DRAMA OF FROZEN NORTH.

GENERAL'S FIRST THOUGHT FOR INJURED MAN.

Late in the evening of June 19 the Swede, Nilsson, landed with his three motored Junker machines after a wonderful fight from Sweden. The Swedish Government han decided after the expedition

(Writing in “Aeronautics," Captain Lundborg, who rescued Nobile from the ice, after the Italian disaster, tells the true story of the rescue, and so stills much of the criticism that has been based on incomplete information of what occurred.) When the polar airship, "Italia," passed over Sweden in April, 1925, on its way

to "the top of the world," the Captain writes, I saw General Umberto Nobile, its com mander, for the first time. I was then stationed with the Third Flying Service, located at the city of Linkeeping, in central Sweden, and was ordered with my machine to escort the aerial guest as far bad started to add yet another north as Stockholm.

Special Ship Obártéred. The next time. I heard of the air- ship was toward the end of May, when reports from Spitzhergen an- nounced that it had probably been wrecked.

Sweden, among other northern countries, quickly, decided to send out a relief expedition. The Swedish unit, which was organized with volunteers, was to consist of two hydroplanes and one load plane on skiis.

The flying equipment was loaded on a special ship, the "Tanja," to ue brought directly to Spitzbergen, while the majority of the members. of the expedition, including myself, were to go on board a Norwegian whaling vessel. "The Quest," char tered by the Swedish Government for the purpose. We sailed on June

On June 19 we anchored in the inner cove of King's Bay where the little mining community of New | Aalesund is located. It was at this place that the Italian airship hangar was built and from here the "Iast unfortunate journey was made. Out in the bay lay the mother ship of the aircraft, the Italian auxille ary cruiser. Citta di Milano," When the

Quest" had anchored alongside of the Italian vessel; the chief of the Swedish expedition, Captain Toraberg, went on board to confer with the Italian commander, Romagna.

The Disaster.

After a flight of eight hours they found the camp. The sea charts of returned, however, without having

Better Luck.

On the 22nd the two hydroplanes made a second attempt to bring help to the Italian camp. While these machines were away, the mounting of the Fokker plane was completed and just as I landed after the first trial fight the hydroplanes returned

When we got on board the Quest" we were told by Captain Tornberg that the machines this time had bad better luck. They had. also been successful in throw- had not only found the camp but 18 down from a low clevation by means of special parachutes a quantity of provisions, medicines, storage batteries, two inaatable life boats and two Swedish rifles with cartridges.

After aying northward an other 0 kilometera, Captain Tora- berg's machine made a sudden turn. toward the right and there, to the left of me, right in the midst of the ice, I discovered a little tent, a thin spiral of smoke, a mast with varie gated pennants, and a few men, one of whom wayed "frantically with a red flag. This was the camp of the Italians. Close by I noticed the red parachutes of the Swedes laid out ou the ice. This was therefore my landing place. After circling about a few times, while trying the skiis of my machine on the snow and ice,

I taxied down the field to one of its short sides, where two men came to meet me, one being Viglier!, nävai officer, and the other Biagi, non-commissioned officer and a radio operator of the airship.. immediately inquired for General Nobile and when I was told that he was at the camp which lay 200 meters away began to march thither. It was very difficult, tö climb over the masses of ice and to jump over the many canals. But finally after almost half an hour's work we arrived at the Camp.

Sitting On Ice.

I found the General sitting on a block of ice before the tent. Like the other Italiana he was dirty and terribly unshaven and attired in a mixture of Peculiar costume, civilian and military clothes and Arctic garments. asked him to be the first to follow I told the General who I was and

"He objected and said that he had already decided on another order: Ceccioni, one of the crew, who had broken his leg, should be brought to safety first, and of the remainder, the General wanted to leave the camp fast.

And now on the very eve of midsummer an attempt was to be made to remove the shipwrecked The plan was as follows:-
