PROVISIONING SHIP FOR ARCTIC JOURNEY OF CAPT. AMUNDSEN (By Associated Press! SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 21 Final provisioning and equipping of the exploring ship Maud, in which Captain Roald Amundsen, noted Norwegian explorer and discoverer of the South Pole will lesume his interrupted Arctic Expedition next May, is being completed as the stout little ship lies in the land-locked waters of Lake Union here. A smashed propeller blade, lost in the ice off the Northeastern Siberian coast, last, year forced Captain Amundsen to bring the Maud t6 Seattle for repairs. When the journey is resumed the vessel will carry four extra blades so that a similar accident may cause only a temporary halt to the expedition. The Maud will carry provisions for seven years, although the explorer does nt expect the trip to occupy more than five years at the most. Airplane Equipment. The most important of the Maud's equipment, in Captain Amundsen's opinion, will be the two airplanes, purchased in Norway and shipped here recently and which will be used in the making of extensive geographic and hydrographic surveys for a thousand miles on either side of the vessel's track through the Northern seas. The primary purpose of the expedition, which is operating under the auspices of the Norwegian government, is to study the movement of the Arctic icn pack, the effect of ocean currents, magnetic influences and other phenomena of the polar regions. The airplanes, Captain Amundsen expects, will be of great value in thi work. He said that he would probablv use them to reach the North Pole should his plan to drift past the pole with the ice pack prove rot feasible. A wireless equipment installed aboard the Maud will be used to broadcast a message when he reaches the top ot the world. Captain Amundsen expects to strike immediately into the outward or northern drift of the ice as it leaves Bering Sea next Spring, and to swing with the northeasterly current early in the summer. With the explorer will be Captain Oskar Wisting, sailing master, who stood at his side "on" the South Pole; G. Olonkin, engineer, Dr. H. V. Sverdrup, scientists of the expedition, twe Norwegian aviators and a crew of si Siberian natives who joined the Mau'i in 1920,

Everyday Ad-Ventures Thoughts of a homesick picture. "No one could be more homesick than I am. Here I am, hung in this dreary store and here I'll likely stay hung until I'm dead. "I'm not particular about what kind of a home I get into, just so there's a nice family of four or five, including a couple of boys to say: '"Oh, what a pretty picture! See the dandy-looking ship tossing on the ocean. It must be a stormy night. Believe me, dad. when I grow up I want to take a trip across the water on a ship like that and see a real storm myself.' "But here, nobody ever admires me. "Ah. who is this? A man and hi3 wife have come in the door of the store and arc looking at me. The wife says she thinks I'm beautiful. She said she read about the handsome pictures here in the "Household Goods" column of The Palladium's classified section "Great! I'm sold and am going to have a fine home. I'm a friend of those classified ads for !ife." (Copyright 1921)
