tempt to Reach North Pole.

Although Commander Robert E
Peary, who has been heard from after
ais long sojourn in the frozen north
failed to reach the north pole, Secre-
tary Herbert L. Bridgeman of the
Peary Arctic club believes that his
feat in reaching further to the north
ought to be subject for national re-
Joicing.
Mr.. Bridgeman states Mr.. Peary
failed to reach the pole because of
irifting ice, but now has the distinc.
ton of having gone further north, hav.
ng reached 81 degrees, minutes, a
point 80 minutes nearer to the north
pole than reached by the duke of
Abruzzi expedition in 1900.

man said:
II am sure it has been the ambition
Of every true American to see the
stars and stripes first at the Arctic
pole. And that it should be an Ameri-
can to reach the furthest north is
but little less gratifying.
1T Is evident Peary has had the
same experience of getting on drifting
ice and being carried away from his
goal that other explorers have had
Probably no other man living would
have got of so we'll as Peary has. He
found himself on ice that had been
broken up by storm and was taking
him in contrary direction. 1t is
likely that he and his party went to
the limit of human endurance before
hey gave up, as instance the eating
of the dogs"
"Will Peary ever make the attempt
again."
II do not know. Although it was
said by the newspapers when he
sailed that If he failed this time he
would never try again he never told
ne that. and I was quite close to him.
| consider that one wonderful thing
II this expedition is the fact that the
Roosevelt is coming home with the
'ntire party, despite the hardships
hey have experienced.
"Peary probably reached within 2O3
miles of the north POLE He passed
the Abruzzi party by about 30 miles"
This was Peary's fifth attempt to
each the pole. Other sledge journeys
we're made in the years 1892, 1895,
1900 and 1902.
