ini; two weeks In the Arctic, Ucrt
Hansell and Parker Cramer, Amer
ican flici'H. were safe today at
Mount Kvans, Greenland, the sec- ;
oml stop on their projected flight'
from Itockforil, III., tu Stockholm,
Sweden. j
While the world was lwcominjr i
convinced that they had suffered j
the fate of other aviators who per-
Ished darliu: the Atlantic, they i
were making their way over a 0-
mile .sretch of icy Greenland wnste. !
"Word of the rescue of the 'fliers
came to the New YoMt Times via
its radio station, in a dispatch from
Professor W. H. Hobbs, leader of
the University of Michigan Green
land expedition. Members of the
expedition, which has a base at
Mount Kvans. brought the airmen
to safety yesterday after picking
them up In the icy wastes, a short
distance from the base .
The fliers were uninjured. Al
though hungry; having lived on a
ration of eight ounces of pemmican
a day, they wo rev stated to be. in
excellent condition.
Shortage of gasoline forced the
airmen down on the. Ice urm f
Point Sukkertoppen on August 1!.
Point Sukkertoppen is a headland
on the southwest coast of Green
bind, about "i0 miles southwest of
Mt. Kvans, at the base of which
the Hobbs expedition had prepared
a landing field for the airmen.
The plane was not damaged. For
two weeks the airmen traveled
over the Icy surface and through
wild and unexplored country, hop
ing to reach safety. A smoke sig
nal they hciU up hroufcht members
of the expedition In a motnrboat to
their rescue as they -wandered over
the wastes. They were taken across
a fjord to Camp Uoyd, three miles
from the radio station at Mount
12 vans.
Apparently Hassell and Cramer
had been forced off their course
by nd verso weather when they at
tempted to fly from Cochrane. On
tario, to Mount Kvans, a distance
of 16(T0 miles, on the second leg of
their flight.
Hopping off from Cochrane in
their monoplane. Greater Itock-
Vford, at 12:12 p. m.. eastern stand
a rd time, on August IS. the air
men were sighted over Ffskonaes
set. -about 2U0 miles south of Point
Skuppertoppen at 10:30 a. m. the
next morning.
News of their sighting over FIs
kennesset was not received, how
ever, until August 23, when the
Danish government made public a
report from the Greenland admin
istration, announcing the receipt of
a message from the sheriff of South
Greenland, saying the plane had
been sighted. The sheriff stated
that two motorbonts would be sent
nut Immediately to search for the
fliers. Professor Hobhn organized
land searching parties for the air
men. The United States coast guard
cutter Marlon and the Danish
coastal vessel Islandfalk also took
up the search.
The expedition led by Professor
Hobhs is engoged In experimental
work by which It Is hoped to es
tablish a system for forecasting
Atlantic weather by measuring the
force and direction of gale's which
blow from the Arctic. Hassell car
ried instruments for meteorological
observations and was to have
worked with the Hobbs expedition.
News of the fliers' safely enme
a day after 'another mystery of
Arctic fliers had apparently been
cleared up by the finding of one
of the floats of the missing sen-
plane In which HoHld Amundsen
! and five companions had gone to
the rescue of the ill-fated Italia
expedition. The float was found
off the Kugloe Island near Trom
soe. Norway, from which point
Amundsen started north on ;nn
18.- With its finding the slim hope
that Amundsen and his compan
ions were still alive faded.
The New York Times said that
it was doubtful if the news of
the rescue of lost explorers ever
before got to civilization as swiftly
as the news of the rescue of Has
sell and Cramer.
Two minutes after they had set
foot on solid ground, word that
they were safe and well hnd been
flashed by wireless into the office
of the Times. Flashlight signals
from the rescue party gave word
