Story Of
Expedition
II Was Organized Pri-
marily as a Hunting
Party by ]. R. Bradley

out from Gloucester on July 4, 1907
In the schooner John X. Bradley II
was organized primarily as hunt
ing and fishing trip to Labrador and
Greenland by John r. Bradley, a
friend OF the explorer. DR.. Cook per.
euaded Mr.. Bradley that by spending
a few additional thousands In sup.
plies and equipment suitable proyis-
ion might be made for polar eX-
petition, and the schooner sailed
laden with stores TO maintain sew.
eral men for two years.
The Bradley was originally q Glou.
cester fisherman, and had been equip
ped with an auxiliary gas engine. Be
sides the two explorers she carried
a crew OF seven men, two from Glou-
cester and Eve from Newfoundland,
and all familiar with the Labrador
seas. The master was Captain
Moses Bartlett, who had been north
with Peary in the Roosevelt.
The schooner fought her way up
through thick fogs and unusually
heavy ice drifts and made land at
last at North Star Bay, in Greenland.
Here the hunting came practically 10
an end, and preparations for the
polar trip began in earnest. The
schooner pushed on to Etah, on the
west coast, where a small house was
built to accommodate the men and
supplies. One man, Rudolph FRANKIE,
the German,American cook of the
schooner, was to 60 with DR.. Cook.
Provisions for eighteen months were
left with them, with hardware for
trading with the Esquimaus, sledges,
two canvas boats and other neces-
saries.
The Bradley sailed on her return
late in August OF 1907. The next
tidings OF the explorer came in
letter to Mrs. Cook dated at Omanui,
Westenholme Sound, December 6,
1907. He then hoped to make a start
late in January, and told OF having
one hundred dogs and fifteen Esqui-
maus.
The most novel feature of DR..
Cooks plan was that he meant TO
push across the polar sea in the dead
OF winter, instead of waiting, as 9th.
er explorers had always done, for
summer weather, when the cold was
less severe. His reasoning was that
the ice pack was frozen far more
solidly during the winter months and
that the increase in cold and the dark

the whip and they passed at a rapid gait and were not overtakens
 Main, who is an experienced horse man, is certain that the horses feet were padded or muffled and that the buggy was rubber tired. They were driving along hard state macadam road. Whether they drove into Vest erly or turned off into back-country road at LanpheaIs corner. is not known. By keeping to the country road they could reach New London and other points west without enter ing thickly settled villages. While it was at first thought that the attempt ed robbery might have been the work of amateurs, it is now a pretty clearly established fact that it was that of a gang of four or more experienced cracksmenn, two of whom worked up- on the vault door, while two or more were stationed as guard at points near the bank.
 Shortly after one o'clock Monday morning, Henry Larkin, watchman at the Ashaway line and twine works, saw an automobile with five men in it pass. There were no lights display ed in keeping with the law. He called to them but got no answer. Shortly after the break was made at the bank. This automobile had come from the direction of Westerly and had to pass the shop from which the tools had been taken. The reason for the return of the two men Monday night is a mystery, but although a daring undertaking it might have been to recover either hidden tools or some thing lost or left behind in their flight of the night before, which if found would prove clear, telltale evidence against them.

MYSTERIOUS BUGGY
Being Sought For in Connection with
 Break at Ashaway Bank.
Special to The BuIletin.)

NSpeclal to The Bulletin.)
 Potter Hill, R. l., July 15.-A sig nificant fact in connection with the at tempted robbery of the First Hopkin- ton National bank at Ashaway, Mon day, between 1 and o'clock a. m.. is the search today for the wherea bouts of mysterious top buggy and Its two occupants who were seen shortly after midnight Monday in front of the blacksmith shop of Orin T.. Harris on Laurel street, about halfway distant between this village and Ash away, and fully half mile from the location of the attempted burglary.
 It was from this shop that the cracksmen secured a heavy sledge hammer, known as "flatter," a piece of round iron rod, foot or more in length, two heavy files, and two ham mers. A third hammer had been talk en from the shop, but was found by Harris Monday morning leaning against the building near the door through which the men had gained an entrance by wrenching off the staple and paddock. The hammer found had evidently been left by one of the gang, who, stepping back into the shop for something, had failed as he came out to pick it up. One of the hammers taken is missing, the other tools were found in the bank.
 Those who are working upon the case believe that if they can locate the buggy they will have found a clue that will lead to the capture of the thieves.
 Monday evening a young man from Westerly had been calling on friends in AShaway. He failed to catch the last trolley car back, and being oblig- ed to be at his place of employment, the Clark thread mill, at an early hour Tuesday morning, walked to this village. where he hired John Main to drive him into Westerly. He passed Harris blacksmith shop which stands back a little from tbe road. When in front of the shop he saw a top corner of the building. He heard the low talking of men, but could not dis tinguish them. He called out but re- ceived no answer.
 When he had reached Mains home it was 12.30 o'clock. Soon after, when on the way of Westerly, and while telling Main of seeing the buggy at the shop, they looked behind them and while they heard no sound from eith- CT the wheels of the buggy or the feet of the horse, saw buggy ap- preaching. It did not pass them, but Jagged until they were out of sight
 When on the top of Berry hill they saw the buggy again approaching and again no sound from either horse or vehicle. This time, when nearly along side, the driver of the strange outfit gave his horse several sharp cuts with
