Apprehension Fell for Arctic Ex.
pIorsr Peaiy.
HAS NOT BEEN HEARD FROM
Sailed For Arctic Regions July 10, 1905,
and No Word Has Ever Been
Received of Explorers
Whereabouts.

CHICAGO. July IA dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
That Captain Robert f. Peary has
sacrificed his life in the effort to discover
the north pole Ia the fear Of naval men
here, who are worried by the failure to
get any tidings of the ship Roosevelt.
which sailed for the Arctic regions July
l6, 1905.
Advices from the American Geographi-
cal Society add to their fears. Reports
are that the weather in the Far North
this spring and early summer was more
than usually rigorous, that severe storms
have been frequent and that the ice is
heavy. Consequently il is feared that
Peary's ship may have been ground to
pieces BY the drifting ice.
The explorers plans, when he left last
summer were to proceed to the farthest
possible point Of land north Of Cape
Sabine and within 500 miles of the pole,
There he was to establish winter base
and make all preparations for a trip
across the Ice this summer as soon as
weather conditions would permit. This
he expected would not occupy more
than six weeks and, according to his
calculations, he would reach home not
later than October Of this year.
Esquima,x and dogs, it is supposed,
were taken aboard the Roosevelt last
summer. for It il on the hardy inhabi-
tants Of the polar regions that Peary
has always relied, 1t was thought, hows
ever that whaling vessel might bring
some tidings Of the Roosevelt, and the
failure Of any news of the expedition to
reach the outside world for so many
months il arousing the keenest anxiety.
