RECALLS ANDREE SAILING
The finding of the body of Salo
mon Auguste Andree, daring Swedish
balloonist, with that of members of
his party, frozen in the arctic wastes
where they were stranded thirty
three years ago, recalls vividly to
the mind of one resident of Murray
the incidents of the sailing of An
dree. This man is Andree D. Bakke,
who wa3 named in honor of the great
explorer and balloonist, the families
of Mr. Bakke and that of the ex
plorer being very intimate and Chris
tian Bakke, the father of A. D., be
ing one of the closest friends of An
dree. At the time of the start of
the Andree expedition Mr. Bakke was
a lad of five years of age and can
vividly recall the incidents of the
great balloon leaving on the ill fated
tiip, sailing out over the unknown
sea and i:e tc a fate that was to be
sv:.ied to the world for more than a
quarter century until aceidently
revealed to the crew of a sealing
vessel.
Another who has had acquaintance
with the great Swedish explorer is
Oscar Nelson of Nehawka, the father
cf Harry Nelson, well known Mur
ray merchant. Mr. Nelson was a
school ma'-e of Andree in their na
tive land and from his recollection
of boyhood days can recall the as
sociations with the man that dared
the north in the hope of floating over
the north pole in a balloon and land
ing on the American continent.
