~NOMIANDER PEARY does not expect to
W. reach the North Pole in his now ship. What
~ he contemplates is to push her to the very
limits of navigation; to batter and force
his way through hitherto impossible ice banks, and
getting as near the goal as possible on shlpboard,
to take few hardy companions with him and make
quick dash by sledges the remainder OF the way.
There have been three general modes OF attack
on the pole. The Inflated yacht eannete, equipped
by James Gordon Bennett and commanded by De.
Long, revealed the possibilities Of one,
This was "a continual movement of ice and
water-a drift-tha seems to set steadily from cast
to west across the Arctic sea. Explorers seized
upon the idea that by getting into this drift, on
the Siberian side of the pole, they might in time be
swept across the axis Of the earth The project Of
Nansen, in 1S93O4 was based in some measure upon
the experieL-y of the Jeanette, and others have
planned expeditions upon the same theory.
The second plan Of attack is to push up to a con-
yenent station III Franz Josef Land, north Of tho
Siberian coast, for the winter. and mako "a farther
venture early the following year. This has been fol-
lowed by Walter Wellman, the Duke Of Abruzzi and
the two Ziegler expeditions,

coast of Greenland and from its highest attainable
point make dash over the ice to the pole. Greey,
