OVATION GIVEN NOBILE
ON ARRIVAL IN ROME
General And Five Other Survivors
Make Triumphal Progress
Through Italy
TWO LEFT IN HOSPITAL
(By Associated Press)
ROME, August 1.-With the cheers
of their countrymen ringing in their
ears, General Umberto Nobile and
five other survivors of the Italia were
in Italy today while the nation re-
joiced over their having been snatch-
ed from death in the Arctic.
Women wept and threw flowers in
the path of the survivors when they
reached Rome in the special car
which had brought them from Nar-
vik, Norway. Two of the rescued men
did not return to Italy, Captain Al-
berto Mariano being left behind in a
hospital in Narvik recovering from
the amputation of his foot and Pro-
fessor F. Behounek returning to his
native Czechoslovakia.
General Nobile and his companions
were received almost with royal hon-
ors by Prince Ludovico Pentenziani,
governor of Rome, and other high
officials in the room of the railway
station reserved for the king and his
family.
When they came out on the street,
the crowd went wild and broke
through the lines of police and cara-
bineers. Scores of women embraced
the explorers. The automobiles bear-
ing them were only able to proceed
at the speed of a slow walk toward
the men's homes.
General Nobile appeared tired and
his face showed plainly the hard-
ships he had undergone. His com-
panions, with the exception of Radio
Operator Giuseppi Giagi, looked the
worse for their experiences.

AN INDIAN JOURNEY, by Walde-
mar Bonsels; 1928; Albert and
Charles Bon1; 273 pages; four dol-
lars.
* * *
Choice of Bonsels' book for the fea-
ture of July by the Literary Guild
could not have been a very great feat
of selection. From the luxurious
binding to Harry Brown's ilustrations
it is a work that strikes home alike
to the reader and the collector, sup-
plying surcease for amboyant cov-
ers and worse lines to those who are
a bit "choosy," as the saying goes.
Waldemar Bonsels, a German by
birth, is more the south German by
custom and mind than he is anything
savoring of Prussian. His are the
dreams and the music of a continent,
not the detached and cold observa-
tions we are taught to expect from
his countrymen. His English, whether
translated or not, is the free speech
of a cultured mind, unhampered by
the awkward mannerisms of one un-
accustomed to the country. He is the
one standing alone among the great
host of present-day travel-writers
who has- really created something
from what he has experienced. The
others have run the gamut of report-
ing and falsifying; his statements
cannot be challenged, for they are
not out of India alone-they are out
of India and Bonsels. And he who
would challenge them must challenge
the man himself, something utterly
ridiculous in the realm of letters.
Trader Horn, via the pen of the
philanthropic Mrs. Lewis, might have
touched upon the greatness in this
book, might have captured somewhat
of its charm, had he not been screen-
ed by the great spouting of publicity
.......
and hokum which was both stupid
and tiresome. But this is a question
of elementals, the Trader is a concoc-
tion and "An Indian Journey" is a
true pen-child. Let them be kept up-
on separate shelves if the owner will
keep his conscience untrammeled.
The nudge of a dog crawling under
mosquito netting, and Bonsels is
awakened in the stifling Indian night
to behold on the floor beside his bed
a battle that is as gripping as any
ever fought in the world of nature.
In the streaming tropical moonlight
a handful of scrawny cats make a
last stand against an army of hun-
gry rats; blood flows and battle bed-
lam fills the air, until suddenly a cold
finality is thrown upon the scene as
a dreaded Indian cobra glides from
under the bed to put finale on the
scene. On another night, his head in
a pool of overturned palm wine on
the table of his bungalow porch, the
author talks of life and the Jungle
with Huc, the monkey, and is worsted
by his forest friend. On still an-
other night in Bombay he falls into
one of the purest, strangest and yet
most sensuous amorous adventures.
ever penned, and the memory of it
comes back upon him later as he
struggles through the close, green
Jungle, overpowered by fever and
beset by dangers on every hand. This
must be India the ancient, for it ap-
peals through the senses of another,
and not through his automatic and
camera-like observations. This is no
travel-book. Its pages breathe exis-
tence and living, and over the whole
is spread that mantle of mystery and
haunting darkness that typifies India
today, despite the ravages of civiliza-
tion.
