New York, Especially The United
States now holds the record of far
thest north"-S7 degrees minutes.
This feat was accomplished by Com
mander Robert e. Peary, Of the
United States Navy.
The intrepid Arctic explorer failed
to reach the North Pole, as he had
confidently hoped to do with his spec
tally constructed vessel, the Roose-
welt. but he penetrated nearer to the
Pole than the Duke of Abruzzrs eX-
pedition. which had held the Arctic
record. Sc degrees "a minutes.
What Commander Peary did and
his experiences during the past year
in the frozen North are rather briefly,
but certainly vividly, summarized in
a communication received Friday
night by Herbert L. Bridgeman, sec
retary of the Peary Arctic Club. This
communication follows:
A Succinct Narrative.
Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate,
~ F., November 2.
Herbert l.. Bridgeman:
Roosevelt wintered north coast
Grant Land somewhat north Alert
winter quarters Went north with
sledges February via Heckla and Co
lumbia. Delayed by open water be-
tween "a degrees and So degrees.
Beyond 50 degrees six days Gale

off communication with supporting
bodies and drifted due east. Reach
81 degrees 6 minutes north latitude
over the ice, drifting steadily east
ward. Returning ate eight dogs.
Drifted eastward; delayed by open
water; reached north coast Greenland
in straitened conditions. Killed musk
oxen and returned along Greenland
Coast to ship. Two supporting par
ties driven on north coast of Green
land. One rescued by me in starv-
ing condition. After one week recu-
peration on Roosevelt sledged west,
completing north coast Grant Land
and reached other land, near one
hundredth meridian. Homeward voy-
age incessant battle with ice, storms
and head winds Roosevelt mag

Mr.. Bridgeman said that the re-
now was quite a surpise to him, be-
cause he had supposed it had be-
come too late in the season for Com
mander Peary ." send news of his
venture.
How The Message Came.
Mr.. Bridgeman added that the
message spoke for itself and that
since he did not know more of the
results of Commander Pearys eff
fort to reach the Pole than the public
did, he could hardly comment upon
the dispatch There was little doubt,
however, he said, that Commander
Peary was coming home This seems
to be borne out by the routing of the
dispatch. Hopedale, or Hoffenthal,
is a Moravian mission station on the
east coast of Labrador. Twillingate
is a port on the east coast of New
foundland.
Mr.. Bridgeman said the message
was probably mailed by Commander
Peary from Hopedale, to the most
