nounces that he will start on July
next on his 6uh attempt to reach
,he North Pole. With a wireless tel
egraph outfit he hopes to keep in
communication with New York un-
Ill he reached the pole. He hopes to
telegraph his great achievement the
day that he reaches the sought
point.
He is now having built the most
remarkable vessel Of its sort ever de
signed, and one which he thinks
will carry him to Grant land, within
AGO milea of the poles. AS he has
covered distances by sledge greater
by one hundred miles than that from
Grant land to the pole, he Is convinc
ed that this time he will be success

Commander Peary told OF his plans
at a dinner given In honor of himself
and Herbert d. Bridgmau, the Airi.
tan explorer. by Wm. Berri, at the
Oxford club, New Yo;k last week.
He stated that the ship that is being
constructed for hirl is to have bow
of such strength and shape AS to ena-
bic him to smash his way through
the ice foes, and in this way enable
him to get farther north than ever
before by boat.
1--WE will pass through the Davis
straights along the west coast OF
Greenland" said Peary, Through
Bafin Bay TO Cape Sabine, where we
will hunt walTus, so as to secure a
supply of food tor the dogs, secure
more Eskimo dogs and establish a
permanent base Of supplies. Here
will be left the least able-bodied OF
our Eskimo.
Upon our arrival at Cape Sabine
We will be about 10 mills from the
pole. From there we will travel
north to the northerly shores OF Grant
land, which will bring US within
about 42o miles from the pole. l ex.

September I and IS"
At this point Commander Peary ex-
poets that his ship will be frozen in,
and he will spend the long winter
night establishing depots along the

LAS to my ship, she will not be OF

thatwill cause herto rise when squeez-
ed between the Ice and fall forward,
crushing the foes. The bow will
thus be Of shape to cause her to
