Brooklyn surgeon did not mean what
he said when he wrote home in Au.

he had another program entirely.
Etah is $50 mics from the edge

various Arctic clubs have dismissed
as ridiculous the idea that DIR. Cook
had any notion of seeking the pole
when he left Etah. but they are
completely at a loss to formulate q
