who accompanied him, have returned

her little girl, who was born in the Arctic
regions eight years ago.
"Next April said Mr.. Bridgeman in
Brooklyn last night, "Peary will start
for the pole from Cape Hecla, the highest
point of land he has discovered in the
west, which is only 500 miles from the
pole. If he should never reach it his
discoveries have been important enough
to warrant the time he has spent in the
north-but he will reach the pole

faction of knowing that Peary had a

carry him through his undertaking. The
explorer returned as far as Cape Hen
