RACE TO ARCTIC.
BETWEEN AMUNDSEN AND
WILKINS
London. January 5,
Spring will witness what is virtually a race to the Arctic. Men are already working on the hangar for Captain Amundsen's airship for his projected flight in April, while Captain Wilkins hopes to start in an aeroplane from Alaska in March. An Arctic authority in the “Daily Express” points out that the explorers will fly in different directions, Captain Wilkins starting early to avoid the thaws. In the event of Amundsen’s ship being unable to enter King’s Bay, where he proposes to take the air, Wilkins has every chance of winning. On the other hand, it is possible that Amundsen will liy to Spitsbergen.
