Discussing this despatch. Herbert l..
Brdzman, secretary Of the Peary Arctic
Club, said last night that only Lieut.. Peary
himself could say whether he would try
it again so soon or not. The plans made
bv the Peary club were for only one expo
dition.
Lieut.. Peary did not go in any sense as
the hired man Of the Peary Arctic Club"
Mr.. Bridgman said. He made his own
, plans and the club backed him. l cannot
say whether the club would back him again
next year, because l haven't talked with
any Of the members.'
Mr.. Bridgman received a telegram direct
from Commander Pesry last night, an
n~ouncing the arrival Of the explorer and his
expedition at Battle Harbor, in one of the
fords along the coast OF Labrador. 1t is
Just inside the Strait of Belle Isle, which
separates the southern point Of Labrador
from Newfoundland. The message was
dated yesterday n read:
Just arrived. Regards to Mrs. Bridg-
man and yourself. PEARY."
Mr.. Bridgman said he was highly graft
fed over the news that the Roosevelt, though
badly damaged, has been equal to the long
Journey from Hopedale, whence the first
news Of the expedition oar on Friday, to
Battle Harbor, which is about $50 miles
town the coast.
The trip from Battle Harbor to Sydney,
where Lieut.. Peary will doubtless continue
his journey home by rail. will now be easy"
said Mr.. Bridgman. He will be able to
get all the coal he wants in Battle Harbor,
for that is the point to which I went for
coal with the expedition Of 1899. There is
always plenty Of 1t stored there. I imagine
The trip from Battle Harbor to Sydney will
take three days. Lieut.. Peary can then
come on here from Sydney in thirty-six
hours"
A previous message sent to Mrs. Peary
read:
HoPEpALE. Labrador. via TwillinRate.
Newfoundland, Nov. 2.-Homeward voyage
incessant battle. Storms. ice and head
winds. Propeller damaged and progress
very slow. Waiting here for coal from mail
steamer. Have no anxiety. Expect wire
from Chateau Bay. All perfectly well.
Commander Peary's achievement in set
ting the peg marking mans daring within
"a geographical miles Of the North Pole
has stirred instant appreciation from men
of sciencea and explorers. Already Mr.. Bridg-
man has received kilograms OF congratu-
lation addressed to Peary from men who
have tried 70 reach the pole or who have
a keen interest in the attempts OF others
10 break through the ice circle about the
frozen cap Of the world.
Prof. Angelo Heilprin Of Yale, who was
in charge Of the expedition OF 1892 that
brought the first Peary party back from
Greenland, was the first to send his felici-
tations to Mr.. Bridgman. His telegram,
received yesterday, read:
MY hesrtiest congratulations. Three
cheers for the Pearys and yourself. l am
o~verjoyed."
William s.. Bruce, who led the Scottish
Antarctio expedition several years ago,
sent the following cable from Edinburgh:
'Peary, care Bridgman: Very hearty
congratulations oil you splendid achieve
ment."
Still another telegram received by Mr.
Bridgman yesterday was from W J McGee,
who was head Of the department Of
anthropology at the st. Louis exposition
and formerly president OF the American
National Geographical Society. McGee's
telegram read:
Accept and share with Mrs. Peary and
Arctic Club heartiest congratulations"
Mrs. Peary, who has been visiting at the
home Of Emil Diebitsh, SOL West End ave-
Pue. for a few days past and who received
The telegram from her husband, forwarded
there from Washington yesterday morning.
returned to her Washington home yesterday
