...radio messages, authentic and faked, which told of the disaster to the expedition of Polar Pilgrim Nobile, these facts at length emerged: Pilgrim Nobile with five companions, one seriously injured, was perilously adrift on an island of blinding ice, which was growing steadily smaller as water channels opened; seven men, cast loose in the airship after the wreck, were lost to the world; three were attempting to reach the mainland on foot...
