A SUBMARINE EXPLORER.
WILL 808 UP WHEN NECESSARY. Andre tried to reach the North Pole by balloon. A daring Austrian proposes to make the perilous journey in a submarine boat. With four other men Herr Auschnetz-Maupfe proposes to embark in a submarine boat, which is to be sunk to a depth of 150 feet, and which will thus always have a clear passage before it. The boat is to have an ample supply of provisions and as much air as will be necessary for breathing purposes during the time" that will be required to travel under the 1,500 miles of ice which must be traversed in order to reach the Pole. This glacial zone once passed, nothing V/ill remain, in the explorer’s sanguine view, except to bring the boat up to the surface and travel leisurely and safely on to the destined goal.
