During a public lecture at the Amer

dltlons north of the most northern
point of land i'll Greenland-namely,
Cape Morris X. Jesup He said that
the Roosevelt was the first American
built ship to center the arena of polar
exploration and that she had proved
herself better than any other vessel
for the service. having been navigated
to her high latitude. whereas Nansen's
Fran reached higher point only by
drifting in the ice foe" Peary indi-
Gated that he had abandoned his old
method Of reaching the pole by es-
taDlishlng caches since he had found
that the area about the extreme polar
region was net land or solid ice. His
caches at certain points had been the
playthings Of arctic gales and drifts
and hence could be useful only in mar
row limitations. Had he known what
the conditions were he would have
modified his route and have drought
back the pile anyway" If he were to
go again ss he fully expected to do,
he would carve more direct course
and would eeturn by utilizing the
great polar drift" He was sure he
could delimit tie coast Of Greenland
and find the pole within less time and
less cost than were necessary in his
efforts.
