ANDREE, SALOMON AUGUST (1854-1897 ?) , Swedish engineer, was born at Grenna, on Lake Vetter, on the 18th of October 1854. After education at the Stockholm technical college, he studied aeronautics, and in 1895 elaborated a plan for crossing the north polar region by a
balloon
  which should be in some degree dirigible by sails and trailing
ropes
 . After an abortive effort in 1896, the winds being contrary, he started with two companions from Danes
Island
 , Spitsbergen, on the I1th of July 1897. The party was never seen, again, nor is the manner of its fate known. Of several expeditions sent in
search
  of it, the first started in November 1897, on the strength of a report of cries of distress heard by shipwrecked sailors at Spitsbergen; in 1888 and 1899 parties searched the north Asiatic
coast
  and the New
Siberia
  Islands; and in May 1899 Dr Nathorst headed an expedition to eastern Greenland. None was successful, and only scanty information was obtained or inferred from the discovery of a few buoys (on the west of Spitsbergen, northern Norway, Iceland, &c.) which the balloonists had arranged to drop, and a
message
  taken from a
carrier
  pigeon despatched from the
balloon
  two days after its ascent. There were also messages in two of the buoys, but they dated only from the day of the ascent. The others were empty.
