This was the description brought "back by tlerr -Scb-nrte Frohlinde, technical , director ot the Dornier; plant, who , has. just returned to Olso. ' ! ' The director and several others went to Kings Bay to: aid the Amundsen . party prior to it- de parture.

Frohlinde Was enthusiastic ov er the expert skill of Lieutenants Larson and Dietrichson the pilots. He was sure the planes were not damaged at the start, else they would have made ; for Amsterdam Island, according ; to agreement. Captain Amundsen had with him everything deemed necessary In the way of equipment and nro- visions; not the slightest detail was forgotten. ? The ' loaded machines weighed 3,000 kilos (6,612 pounds) each; the Dorniers had guaranteed them for 2,500. Herr Frohlinde absolutely! disbelieves It possible that , the planes crashed during the flight or ran short of gasoline although he thinks they might have been damaged landing near the pole. Amundsen had a bright smile as the planes prepared t to take off and all members of the party left absolutely sure of success.
