_TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE!_
The story of three men in the Arctic.
Above them the cold, gray sky, washed by an impenetrable fog.
Around them only crashing icebergs, each second grinding out a new
variety of the age-old Arctic death threat.
One man injured, unable to continue.
Then the story of the dying man who consigned himself to an icy grave
that his mates might save themselves. And the story of the two men who,
faced with this dilemma, left their pal to die, alone with his thoughts.
Leering icebergs grinding out the death march.
This is the story of Dr. Finn Malmgren and Captains Marianno and Zappi.
It first became known to the world when the New York Evening Journal
printed International News Service dispatches via Moscow on Friday, July
13, 1928. The Evening Journal's headlines then read:
"MALMGREN DESERTED BY MATES;
NOT DEAD WHEN ABANDONED"
It wasn't until Sunday, July 15, that other New York papers printed the
gripping story the Evening Journal had given New York on Friday, July
13.
