Moscow, Feb. 11 A further wireless message received from the Soviet Polar exploration party, which is drifting on an ice-floe off the coast of Greenland, gives a dramatic account of their fight with a terrific gale which swept across the ice-floe in the night between February 7 and 8. The gale tore their tents apart and overturned their sledges.
M. Ivan Papanin and his three companions finally built a small shelter out of ice and snow. Next day they shot three polar bears to replenish their larder. With great difficulty they succeeded in reassembling their wireless station which is now functioning properly and keeping them in constant touch with the relief ships now steaming across the Greenland Sea to their rescue.—Trans-Ocean.
