THE KR ASS IN’S HEROIC
(Continued from page 4)
Mariano has not committed himself on by the wind from th
the subject. Why don’t both witnesses down hundreds of mil,
state similar facts? Only one speaks at .outpost of civilization
the time and every rime the story is dif- Incidentally the Kr
ferent. If Malmgren had met with an
>eed
bie - crashed
’'he nearest
accident—fell through thin ice, for in
stance, which could have been very plaus
ible, they could have told about it with
out arousing suspicions. But this version
must be excluded because Zappi had on
things that Malmgren wore. If Malm
gren died of emaciation then it is quite
reasonable to conclude that the two men
had divided the clothing of the deceased
comrade. But at the time of their res
cue Mariano was almost naked while
the other was warmly dressed and,
among other articles, had on Malmgren’s
things.
Mariano is silent. He does not deny.
Why did Mariano not complain of the
cruel treatment he received at the hands
of Zappi when both were on the ice
floe? What mystery, what clandestine
agreement hinds Mariano and Zappi? Or
why will Mariano not talk about Malm
gren’s death ?
After an absence of three and a half
months, the ice-breaker “Krassin” has
just returned to Leningrad. When this
sturdy ship docked in the river Neva,
near the Nicholaevsky bridge, now the
bridge of Lieutenant Schmidt, she had
made over twenty thousand miles, or half
the length of the earth’s equator. The
greater part of the voyage, during which
she had to break through treacherous
polar seas laden with ice in many in
stances 30 feet thick, was spent beyond
the polar ring, in desolate, unexplored
and uncharted regions where no ship or
ice-breaker has even been before.
During the one hundred and ten days
that the Krassin was out, slowly over
coming almost unsurmountable obstacles
on her mission of mercy, the ship sailed
thrice around the western and northern
shores of the Spitzbergen Archipelago—
huge piles of stones and ice seventy
thousand square miles in area. During
her voyage the Krassin touched the land
of Franz Joseph, a string of ice-covered
and frozen land, where Professor Samoil-
ovitch set up on Cape Nile, beyond 80th
degree northern latitude, the red flag of
Soviet Russia.
I he brave ice-breaker was rocked by
furious storms, her decks were swept by
hellishly mean and penetrating frigid
winds that chilled to the very marrow of
the hone and she was at times completely
enveloped in dangerous fogs often last
ing for several days.
I he Krassin won the world’s admira
tion and undying fame that will endure
as long as courage, good sportsmanship,
stout and unselfish hearts are held as
something infinitely fine and continue to
thrill mankind. The Krassin and the
ship s gallant flyer Boris Chuchnovsky
were responsible for the rescue of seven
men out of which number six were Ital
ians and one was a Czechoslovakian
scientist. These men comprised almost
half of the Italia’s command who were
thrown on the ice when the gondola, torn

termined that anti-Semitic activities shall
find no fertile ground in Switzerland. It
has, theiefore, launched an investigation
of the National Socialist movement in this
country and has already forbidden the
wearing of the “brown shirts” symbol of
the followers of Hitler. Among measures
already taken by Swiss officials to cripple
the Hitlerite activities is the deportation
of Wilhelm Morstadt and Waldemar
Schultz, both propagandists for the Hit
lerites.

There is no doubt in my mind that the
Krassin’s historic exploit and splendid
its wake considerable political signifi
cance.
By virtue of her task, the Krassin came
in contact with Western European cul
ture, with its standard bearers—scien
tists, officers, journalists and the aver
age well-to-do intelligentzia that the
Krassin met in various ports during her
memorable expedition. I'he world read
about the Krassin in the newspapers and
applauded the Krassin in the movies.
What does an average man either in
Europe or in the States, know about Sov
iet Russia? The word “bolshevik’’ in
spires in most of us something akin to
awe, something analogical to "a bar
barian.”
And people saw on the Krassin 138
“alive” bolsheviks, citizens of the Sov
iet—seamen, flyers, scientific workers, rep
resentatives of the press. The foreigner'
saw these men neither parading with red
flags nor staging eternal mass demon
strations, but in their everyday life, at
their hard work in most unpretentiouv
almost humble surroundings. In their
daily routine a glorious deed of humane
and scientific research mingled with self-
sacrifice and hard, extenuating labor, for
without hard work the Krassin expedi
tion would be utterly impossible.
