Mr.. Peary, in the Roosevelt, the most
powerful boat that ever steered for the
wintry seas of the Arctic region, is
about to make another try for the

welt admits in an interview that the
reward for the pole-fnder is largely

hunt for the pole is the real joy of the
game. It is we'll for the world, after
all, that it lacks not strenuous souls
