AMUNDSEN’S RETURN
BACK FROM POLAR TRIP. ALL THE PARTY SAFE. Vancouver, June 18. Captain Amundsen has returned to Spitsbergen. London, June 19. A message from the Hcimdal at Spitzbi-rgen states that there was a dramatic scene when Amundsen returned to King’s Bay. Crowds gathered on the quay at about 10 p.m. to witness the Heimdal arrive, when, through a misty haze the Norwegian sealer slowly . entered the harbour under the faint gleam of the midnight sum many men were seen on deck. Suddenly, someone aboard the Hobby shouted: “Its Amundsen." Deafening cheers greeted the explorer, and then we burst into song, singing the National Anthem. Slowly fnya the tired and wornout explorers we were able t° obtain their story but even before they began, we.could see how they had suffered. Amundsen states that the occupants of the two planes were .separated for a long period, during which Ellsworth saved Dietrichsen ami Omdnl from drowning. Whilst Amundsen and Riiser were on the other side of the ice lane, they beard cries for help. They were unable to assist, owing to the drift ice making it impossible to effect a crossing in a canvas boat.
