Dr. Nansen Advanced Further Than Previous Explorers. HE AND PARTY SAFE AND WELL Ilr. Hansen Has Beea Over Three Years Now. e..d HI. Kipedlllon Is a Great Su.eei.-He Will Hoon ll.lurti. Malroo, Sweden, Aug. 17. The heler has received 1 communications from Dr. Nansen and Lieutenant Shottansen, from the island of Vardo. These oinuiuuioatious state that they abandoned the Fram in the autumn of 18'J5 and rcsorttd to ice. i The iteamer Windward, carrying 'supplies to tho Jacksou-Uarmsworth ' expedition, picked them up near Franz Josef laud. They expectetd that the Fram would eventually drift to tbe ! east ooast of Greenland. Dr. Nansen ! failed to reach the pole, but he touched : a point four degrees nearer than any j other explorer has done. Tbe steamer Windward took letters for Nansen when It started to the relief ! of tbe Jackson-Uarmsworth expedition, ' as Mr. Jackson expected to find Nan ' sen, and was convinced that bis idea ' of drifting across the pole in the ice i was impracticable. He was also con j vinced that Nansen would return in I the direction of Fran Josef laud. All In (iood Health. Vardoe, Norway, Aug. 17. Dr. Nansen left the Fram on March 14, 181)5, in 83 deg. of north latitude. He traversed the polar sea to a point 80:14 north latitude, situated north of the North Siberia islands. No land wai lighted north of 83 deg. of latitude or thenoe to Franz Josef hind, where he passed the winter, subsisting on bear flesh and whale blubber. Dr. Nunsen aud his companion! are In the best of health. Tbe Fram li ex pected at Vardoe or Dergeu shortly. She stood the Ice well. There were no sick persons aboard when Nunsen left her. (Dr. Fritjojo Nansen, the Norwegian gcientist, now 80 yeur old, suilod from ChrBtiana on Juue 24, 181)3, ou a vovage of discovery to the arctic re gions, aud with tbe intention of reach ing tbe north pole, if possible. He embarked on board the three masted schooner Fram, which was provided ' with a mo-horsepower steam engine. She was ot 800 tons burden, and ber sides were so constructed as to force ail ice meeting tbe vessel to pass under it, thus preventing all "pinching" and screwing. The Fram was launched at Laurwik, 1 near Christiana, October 20, 18U3, and the Norwegian parliumeut gave Dr. i Nansen about 153,000 in aid of his ex pedition. Additional funds were forthcoming by private subscription, including one of over $5,000 from King Oscar. Tbe Fram was in every way admir- ably equipped, aud had a crow of I twelve men, all of whom occupied tho I cabin, which measured only thirteen j feet square, aud which was heated by means of an English petroleum Btove, which consumed three liters of petro leum a day. The Fram (forward) had ; enough fuel on board to last eight or nine years, and she also hud a library ot 1,000 books. Dr. Nansen's plan was to make for the New Siberia islands and thcuce sail directly north until the Frum should be imbedded iu the Ico He propo.ed then to drift along with the ice, following the west coast of any land that might be met. A dispatch was received from him at Vardien, August 23, 18U3, written iu the Yngor aki straits ou the aecoud day of that montn, anuouuoiug thut the expedition was about to sail iuto Kara sea, aud that the Frum, so fur, hud behaved splendidly. Dr. Nuusen entered the university of Chistiuna iu 1HS0, au iu 1883 went as a passenger ou the sealing steamer VI-: king to Denmark straits aud the east coast of Greenland. It is believed that this voyage laid the foundation for the ambition of his life, namely, that ot discovering the north pole. Ou his re turn from Greenland he was appointed curator of the museum at Ucrgen, aud held thut position until 18S3, wheu he led a small expedition to Greenland and crossed the southern portion ot thut country from the east const to God bead, ou the west const, where the party wintered, aud returned to Nor way in June, 1 880. ) A Hertoit.
