Hotting With the Norwegian Explorer was Ac cidental The Frsra Aban doned In tho Drifting; Ice Nnni en's Story, Vajidok, Norway, Aug. 10. Tho captain of tho Windward, tho British stoamor which has just returned from Franz Josef land of tor taking supplies to tho British North polo expedition commanded by Jackson und known as tho Jackson-Hat msworth expedition, filed a telegraphic message here yos terday describing tho accidental mooting of Jackson and Dr. Nanson, forming one of the most remarkable incldontn in tho history of Aratle ex ploration, for it appears that tho Nor wegian ox plorer had been living In a hutqulte closo to ono of tho English explorer's stations for along time pre vious to tho mooting of tho two men, yet noither ono of them was awaro of tho other's presence in that vicinity. In this messrge, Jackson describes his accidental meeting with Dr. Nanson whllo tho latter was traversing tho Ico pack, and It appears that It was a lucky mcoting for the Norwegian ox- filorer, as tho latter was misled, ow ng to Inaccuracies on tho man drawn by Payor, tho dlscovoror of Franz Josof land, and also oocauso Dr. Nan son's two chronometers and his watch having stopped, ho was qulto unable to establish his position and was con sequently trying to march westward to Spltzborgen over tho ico pack, which was not only highly dangerous but probably impossible.

Ho had wlntorod in a rough hut within a few miles of our north ern limit in 1895, and this spring we unwittingly camo within a fow miles of his winter quarters. "Dr. Nansen left thoFram with one companion, Lioutonant Slgard Scott Hansen, a lieutouantln tho Norwegian navy,and director In tho astronomical, moteorological and magnotic observa tions, and reachod latitude So: 14, traveling northeast from where he left the Fram, which was In 84 North, 102 East It is believed here that the Fram may turn up here or at Bergen shortly, as she stood the ice very well, has plonty of provisions on board and there was no sickness among her crew when Dr. Nansen loft her on Maroh 14, 1895. Professor Mohn says that the scien tific result of Dr. Nausen's observa tions are magnificent, and that sev eral islands have been discovered. Dr. Nansen, in describing their life during tho winter of 1895-00, said: "When tho bears' flesh had been ex hausted we were obliged to kill the weakest dogs to feed tho others, and continued thus until the whole pack had been slaughtered. "Myself and companions started in the direction of Spltzborgen on May 10. Aftor that we occupied six weoks on snowshocs, dragging sledges and kayaks (the Arctic canoe) loaded on sledges after us. Wo went partly overland and parlly ovor sea ico, "Wo reached Jackson's winter quar ters, whoro wo found all in good health. Wo remained there about six weeks, till tho steamer Windward arrived."
