The Fate of Andree
The bare facts about the discovery of the remains of the AndrCe Polar Expedition by balloon in 1897, which were made known last week, have this week been greatly amplified. An exceptionally moving narrative by Dr. Gunnar Horn, the leader of a Norwegian scientific • party of explorers, has beets published in the Times and the Manchester Guardian. It was thought at first that the bodies of both Andree's companions, as well as of Andree himself, had been found in White Island, but since the bodies were brought to Norway it has been ascertained that the bones which were supposed to he those of one of the men were the bones of some animal. It is now possible to see fairly clearly what happened in that most mysterious of Polar expeditions which started thirty-three years ago.
