New York, May 24. Held for five
months without adequate shelter or
supplies in the cold of the high
reaches of Tibet, an American exped
ition has won its way through to
civilization and told of its safety in
the first message received in more
than a year.
The Roerich museum today receiv
ed a cablegram from the Himalayan
region of India from Prof. Nicholas
Roerich, which said the expedition
had arrived safely on May 16 and re
cited briefly the hardships of the
party during its long trek through
central Asia.
Although all the nine white per
sons on the expedition were reported
safe, five of their Mongolian, Buriat
and Tibetan guides had died and 90
caravan animals perished in the
rigors of the Tibetan winter.
The Roerich expedition first set
forth on its wanderings in 1924, it
has reported laconically from time
to time its position, but since April,
1927, no word has reached the mu
seum which Prof. Roerich founded
here

"After enduring many hardships
the expedition has reached Himal
ayas. Thus ended big central Asiatic
expedition. Many artistic and scien-
tine results. Expedition started in j
1924 from Sikkim (eastern Hindus-1
tan). Peacefully the American flag I
encircled central Asia. Everywhere 1
warmly greeted except Khotan and
Lhasa governments. Further move
ment of expedition from Khotan as
sisted by British consul at Kashgar.
"On Tibetan territory have been
attacked by armed robbers. Supe
riority of our fire prevented blood
shed. In spite of Tibet passports,
expedition forcibly stopped by Tibe-
an authorities on October 6, 1927.
With inhuman cruelty expedition de
tained five months on altitude of 15
thousand feet, living in summer tents

Russia who has long combined paint
ing with exploration.
