Peary's Polar Expedition.

Commander Peary said there was no
truth in the report that he had nego-
tiated for the purchase of a ship for
his next expedition to the Polar seas.
Commander Peary said he probably
would leave New York in July and try
to reach the north shore of Grantland
and camp there until the coming OF
spring. when the dash to the pole will
be attempted.
Il will make the hardest try to reach
the pole that has yet been made. If l
can get my ship to the north shore
of Grantland." he said. Il will answer
for the rest. am confident that | shall
reach the pole. am familiar with con-
ditions and | have the experience. l

what | will have to contend with. An
other reason is that have reached that

Esquimaux that can utilize them as
| desire. If I get to Grantland l am

also find a way to get back to the
ship"
