expedition; II won for Peary the prize
medals of several learned societies
and "Petermann's Mitteilungen," the
most famous geographical publication
In the world, honored the explorer by
suggesting the name "Peary Land"
for North Greenland.
For the next expedition everything
was against Peary. He had no money
no ship and few wealthy friends
With difficulty he induced the Navy
Department to give him three years
leave Of absence. Lecturing. sales of
his book and contributions for his
letters, as well as proceeds from
book written by his wife, brought
money enough to charter the Falcon
and provide most Of the equipment.
In June. 1899, the expedition sailed.
II was an Inflated expedition. The
Falcon, after landing Peary's party,
was lost on the return with all on
board, although the explorer knew
nothing Of this fact until year later.
Against his own best Judgment Peary
had taken with him large party OF
men, and discussions having arisen,
nearly all members of the party re.
turned by the first relief ship, leaving
Peary with only two men.
