Abstract

THE Times of yesterday published a telegram, dated September 17, from Sandefiord, Norway, received through Reuter's Agency, stating that advices received at Sandefiord from the Danish trading station of Angmagsalik, on the east coast of Greenland, state that towards the end of July a three-masted ship, with a short foremast, was seen by Eskimos on two occasions firmly embedded in drift ice. On the first occasion the ship was observed off Sermiligak, 65° 45′ lat. N., 36° 15′ long. W.; and the second time off Sermelik. 65° 20′ lat. N., 38° long. W. It is believed that the vessel was Dr. Nansen's Fram, and that she was on her return journey. In any case, however, no positive news of the exploring vessel is expected to arrive until next year.
