Thursday afternoon In two panes and are lonr overdue on their re turn, unless they have reached the I'ole and are spending more time there than waa planned In advance. Latest advices from the North American Newspaper Alliance were that no word had been re ceived from the pllnea. The air ahlpg are not equipped with wire less and no Information can be ob tained until the party relurns to ita base or to some Illation. The crews of the molorshlps Farm and Hobby, however, express complete confidence In the safe return of the filers. The distance to the Pole from Kings Hay. Spltzberiten Is 6S0 miles which Captain Amundsen j expected to negotiate In about nine hours. If a favorable landing place was not found at Ihe I'ole the journey from Kings Bay to the ; I'ole anil return should have oc- jcun'ed about Id hours and the party should have arrived at Ita base yesterday arternoon. Captain Amundsen's greatest danger and fear waa that great chunks of Ice half burled In the snow, and Invisible from the air would tear the planes to pieces when they landed. There was al so the danger of tinpredlcled I storms and the possibility of head winds would a'ow down the flight of the planes until the two hour mnra'n In his gasoline supply would be consumed. The gasoline cargo will supply the engines for about 1.6M0 miles normally. The explorer announced he would not attempt a landing If had Ico conditions were found but would wheel about and return to Spitsbergen. Lincoln Kllsworth. of New York, leader of the second plane and his pilot had orders to pro ceed 'to the pole If Arnundjten'S plane was damaged. Kl'sworth is the f nancliil backer of the expedition.
