By Telephone —

OSLO, Sunday. A meteorological station in north Norway has received a wireless mes-i-age from the submarine Nautilus stating "All well." The Nautilus refused to give her present position. The wireless transmission lasted for 20 minutes. The contents of the message have not yet been divulged but it is known lhat,all on board are well. Although there had been no news of the Nautilus for five days, Sir Hubert Wilkins' suggestion that there was a possibility of communications being interrupted for several days had prevented undue anxiety . Scientists are of the opinion that the lack of communications is due to the Nautilus having entered the socalled "twilight zone," where the magnetic conditions make wireless difficult. Nevertheless, the preparations for fche search include the dispatch of the sealer Veiding to the icefields to search. ' „ The Norwegian Government is also dispatching the sealer Fridtjof Ansen to Tromsoe, where she will meet two seaplanes. One of these is piloted by Captain Riiser Larsen.
