Lost Explorers Contacted
MOSCOW, Feb. 9—fllP)—Radio communication was re-established tonight with the Soviet Union’s four Arctic scientists, Who reported that they had ridden through a lashing storm aboard their ice floe and Were within sight of the east coast of Greenland.
The message, the first received from Dr. Ivan Papanin and his companions in 48 hours, was picked up by the Norwegian radio station on the island of Tromso and relayed to Moscow.
The four scientists said the storm, which bounced their crumbling ice floe about yesterday, destroyed their tent but that most of the damage had been repaired.
The Greenland coast, last reported about 50 miles away from them, was now clearly visible, they said.
’ Receipt of the message lifted fears that the four men and their little dog Jolly might have perished in the raging Arctic storm which prevented three Russian ice-breakers from reaching tl*em.
