DRIFTING NEAR POLE
RUSSIAN ICE-BREAKER PLANES TO TAKE FOOD AND EQUIPMENT (Independent Cable Service.) MOSCOW, Feb. 2u. Three planes are leaving Rudolf Island soon to attempt to take food and scientific equipment to the Russian ice-breaker Sedov, which has been frozen in the Arctic for two successive winters and is now reported to have drifted as far as 85 degrees 59 minutes north, which is nearer the Pole than reached by Fridtjoj Nansen’s Fram in its record-breaking drift to 85 degrees early in 1895.
