But the ship followed us by radar and directed us by radio. “THE ICE WAS cracking in many parts, but finally we got to within 100 yards of the ship and dismounted. “It was lucky for us, because two hours later, when we re turned, the house sled and the tractor had all disappeared through the broken ice.” Franceschini has been working, by invitation, with a group of Rus sian oceanographers aboard the Ob. The account of the near disaster is contained in a newspaper clip ping just received by Dr. Dale F. Leipper, head of the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology. The report was first published in the March 28 issue of the Cape Times Reporter. Franceschini is the first Ameri can scientist invited to sail aboard the Ob. He was asked as part of an international exchange program, and his research effort is financed by the National Science Founda tion.
