The ice-breaker „Sedow‘s “ arctic rescue expedition in the summer of 1928. N. Evgenoff. On a line with the well known navigating Soviet ships „Krasine" and „Malygin", the ice-breaker „G. Sedow“, in command of Captain V o r o n i n also took part in the rescue of the dirigible „Italy's1 crew and of the members of the Amundsen group. Later the ice-breaker effected an interestiing cruise in the vicinity of Franz-Joseph’s Land. At the outset ,,Sedow's“ voyage had a commercial design, but in connec tion with „Malygin's" return from the East coasts of Svalbard, the ,,Sedow“ was sent to explore the North-West part of the sea of Barents and the coasts of Franz-Joseph archipelago. It sailed from the port of Murmansk July 7, returning to Archangel September 3 after two months at sea. Both his course of navigation and the distribution of ice-fields on his way are marked on his voyage chart. During his cruise the „G. Sedow“ explored the S.-W. coast of the Franz-Jo seph archipelago, entering the Weyprecht Bay and the Cambridge Straits, where several landings were effected. In its first attempt to sail North off the Western coast of Alexandra Land the „G. Sedow“ on August 3-d reached the 8 0 J 44' N latitude. A second trial brought the ship August 8 to sO 56' N. lat. and 40° 40' E. longit., where it met great barriers of hummocky ice; to the West the ice prouved also impassable. Captain V o r o n i n ascertained that the Western point of Alexandra Land is not correctly shown on charts, but must be placed more to the East. Navigating South-East of the Archipelago „G. Sedow" took note of the Western sea current and marked the possibility of its turning up North off the Western coast of Alexandra Land. That would explain the formation along the coast of a sheet of water, either free from ice, or partly covered with floating blocks. Captain Vo r o - II i II in his notes gives brief indications of the Archipelago’s coast and sea depths, which may prove useful for navigating purposes. On August 13-th when nearing the Eastern coast of Victoria Island the ship found itself in shallow waters. Before leaving the shores of Franz-Joseph Land „G. Sedow“ tried on August 24, by passing the De Bruyne Sound, to enter the British chanel, but dense fogs frustrated his efforts. In general fogs much hindered his navigation The return voyage to Archangel was made through the sea of Kara. The vessel carried on board a hydroplane fitted with runners, which ren dered it practicaly ineffective. No convenient spot to start it being found on the thawing ice or on shore. Nowhere was there any trace of men having been wrecked in those parts.
