From the Artic Pole.
A pigeon, bearing a message from Herr Andree, the Swedish aeronaut, who last month left Spitzbergen on a balloon voyage to the North Pole, has been shot by the oaptain of a sealins; vessel at Alken, between the North Cape, Norway, and the Seven Islands off the coast of Lapland, near the entrance to the White Sea.
