:23:18
Here's the Captain.
:23:24
The Italia airship is returning here.
:23:27
I spent four weeks in this Godforsaken
icebox of a dump, and no story!

- Headwinds increasing to 45 miles an hour.
- Dr. Malmgren, I'll take the wheel.
:23:40

Keep all engines at full speed.
We must maintain altitude.

Yes, sir!

For God's sake,
get the engines up to 1,400 revs!

Jettison the tents, the skis, the sledges!
:24:35
Check all around for ice! Use hammers!
:24:37
Get the valves shut!
:24:43
General, we're still heavy.
:24:47
General! I've lost contact!
I've lost all contact, sir!
:24:50
All right. Continue transmitting.
Dr. Malmgren, give Biagi our position again.
