— By Telegraph — Copyright).
LONDON, Tuesday. Sir Hubert Wilkins has arrived at Newcastle from Norvvay. He is already planning another expedition to the North Pole by submarine. He said the mechanical equipment of the Nautilus was unsatisfactory and too complicated for a small crew. Sir Hubert added: — "For my next expedition I will build a special submarine, with which there is every reason to believe we will reach the Pole in safety." The explorer was of opinion that the results of the Nautilus' cruise had justified the risks and expenses.
