UNDER THE FLOES TO THE POLE.

THE AMBITION OF A

GERMAN

Dr Anschutz-Kemp, an eminent German scientist and inventor, has resolved to attempt to reach the North Pole in a submarine which will float beneath the masses of ice in the Arctic Ocean.

Dr Anschutz-Kemp has constructed a special type of submarine for this purpose. Realising the necessity of remaining at a great depth beneath the surface for a considerable time while voyaging northwards, the inventor has perfected an apparatus whereby he can take his bearings during the submerged passage. This apparatus has been patented in all civilised countries, and it is being supplied to all German warships. Dr. von Payer, Germany’s foremost Polar expert, says : “The best way to the North Pole is neither on the water nor in the air, but by means of a submarine underneath the ice. Dr Anschutz-Kemp has been working for ten years to realise this great project. 1 He will achieve it before he talks about it.

“ Dr Anschutz-Kemp must emphatically be taken seriously, and he has good prospects of success.”
