settlement at Whale sound, Peary saw
a small native knife which attracted his
attention, The edge was composed of
five small pieces Of iron. II was the
only one in the tribe and Peary had
seen nothing to Indicate the presence Of
metal in the vicinity. He made In
quiries, but the old men shook their
heads; not one Of them knew aught
save that it was very old and had come
from the iron mountain" which they
could not or would not locate.
The explorer resolved to make a
search for the mountain. After many
weeks, on the northern shore Of that
desolate body Of water known as Mel
vile bay. Peary came upon three
meteorites. They were known to the
few Eskimos Of the region as the Wo.
man, the Dog and the Tent. The Wo-
man and the Dog were brought to the
United States I'm 1895. Peary loaded
them by means Of hydraulic jacks and
started southwark on the cruise home
the presence OF the masses of iron af-
fected the ships compass to such
degree that in bad weather the sailors
could not keep 90 their course, but had
TO depend on dead reckoning. These
smaller meteorites were landed safely
and are now In the New York museum
with their larger companion The Wo-
man has "A weight of six tons and the
Dog only one.
But Peary was not satisfied until he
had made an attempt to transfer the
gigantic Tent to home soil. He was rot
satisfied even then, for his first attempt
resulted In failure TO tear the monster
from It's icy bed of centuries. He re.
turned to the task with largely in
creased facilities and finally succeed In
moving the mass inch by inch with his
powerful hydraulic lifting apparatus
and loading 1t OH the deck of the Hope,
When It touched the deck the Eskimos
who had helped TO load 1t boted for the
shore in great haste, believing that It
would sink the ship. The stanch craft
careened visibly, but soon righted her
self and the homeward voyage was be-
gun. 1t was the most laborious voyage
peary ever made. The ship had to cut
her way through lcebergs, and the
storms were so violent that II some-
times seemed probable that the Tent
would get loose and crash through the
ships sides. Every man on board. not
