Pole and is on his way home is confirmed
As to the statement of the second part I'm
less he brings the pole with him there will
still be doubts as to the success Of his ex-
plorings in the minds Of many. That he
should have found land instead OF water at
the mole il reasonable that is if the pole
was erect and stationary and had the stars
and stripes floating at its top. Otherwise
the pole, instead Of cold Glory" would be
floating. IL the DR.. has brought with him
