18. (V) Tho dirlglblo Italia re
turned to her base here ut it: 1 I
a. in. today from an exploring trip
to Leninland. The weather was
fine.
The dirigible had been In flight
for almost sixty-eight hours over a
course of some 2000 miles, having -left
King's Bay at 1:20 p. m. Tues
day. General N'obllc sailed o v e r
Leninland for four hours. Thu
view was ho forbidding, however,
that he abandoned his plan to land
men on tho unexplored region to
make various scientific investiga
tions. Conditions were found eu-
tlroly utiHUlted, It - was explained,
for such explorations since the
most favorablo time passed with
i thu first half of May.
After flying over Leninland, thu
dirigible turned and headed its
blunt noHo toward King's Jlay.
General Nobile wan given an en
thusiastic reoeption.
Tho ltallun came back to King's
Hay in fine weather. She reached
her baso about nine o'clock anil
was taken In hand by the ground
men for a safo landing. It took
considerable timo to house her In
tho hangar.
General Nobilo wna given an ,
enthusiastic reception by tho Ital
ians who took him out in the snow
and photographed him.
Captain Amundsen's flight In
tho Norgo in lU'Jfi covered seven'y
two hours. The flight of the Italia
was four noun less and her gaso
line was almost exhausted.
On the- return1 trip-the Italia
proceeded on a course lying be
tween Novaya Xemlyla and Franz
Josef land, and It was so arranged
that in case of emergency that Hho
would go to Vadsoe. This, however,
proved unnecessary.
Tho temperature was low nnd
most of the drinkables froze, but
tho crew are reported to have been
able to sleep qulto well at times
during tho long flight. The dirig
ible itself was coated with lee.
Those who made the flight are
reticent about the expedition and
there Is considerable uncertainty
as to some of the territory or icu
fields that the ship passed over.
KING'S HAV, Spitsbergen. May
IS. (!) Mud Ing a tis-hour night
over the Arctic regions, tho dir
igible Italia returned to Its aso
hero this morning. General lin
bertu Nobilo was tlrod and nerv
ous but smiling. The airship was
In her hangar at 10:30 a. m.
Tho next trip of tho Italia, It
was said, would be to tho North
Pole. This will start In about ftvu
days.
Meanwhile tho dirigible will bo
given a thorough overhauling, as
It is hoped to make this tho most
Important venture of the expedi
tion, s
Owing to the winds, the Italla's
speed was reduced to one-third.
Sho returned without having ac
tually flown over the Nicholas I(
land, otherwise known as "Lenin's
liinil." she cruised about In that
neighborhood, however, and took
photographs. . , .
At one period the dirigible en
countered a strong wind, which
made exploration difficult and It
was feared also that the gasoline
was running low.
HOME. May 18 OP) News of
tho return flight of the Jtalin to
her King's Hay base was received
, with rejoicing throughout tho
Italian press which cites the flight
as u splendid achievement.
Popolo di Homa notes that be
ll ween Spitsbergen and tho Franz
I Josef archipelago, the Italia found
no trace of land showing that thu
I mythical Glllls land as well as
Crocker land, which Peary thought
he fcaw. did not exist.
"However, tho J) alia's crew
was able to establish the pres
ence of a vast zone of open sea
to tho northeast of the Kranx
Josef group at 83 degrees north
longitude and another nptfee of
open water near Nicholas 11 land."
said tho paper, declaring that this
is enough to constitute a revolu
tion In Arctln geography.
The newspaper says that whore
Nobile went beyond the Russian
exploration of Nicholas 11 land
In 1913 was that he flew over the
entire length of the region and
should be able to determine
whether It Is one great Island or
nn archipelago. The precise de
termination of this whs one of the
objectives of the Italian expedi
tion. 1
