belief that Amundsen would not
attempt to land at the north pole
but would drop the Norwegian flag
there from an airplane.
Hansen said he believed Amund
sen's chances, of success depended
ntirely upon weather conditions
and tils gasoline supply.
Should Amundsen be forced to
land near tho pole Hansen said ho
would probably nttempt to proceed
to t'upo Columbia on Grinnell
Land, northwest of Greenland, and
In that event would have to re
