helm. One Thursday they hook
a pike in a lake adjacent to Boot
but in landing him all they got
into the boat was a chunk
which tore out of the hsh's

a good pike. They returned to

torn off. The piece saved from
Thursday fitted the hole in the

iustifies his action in refusing to allow
DR.. Cooks instruments or records on
board the Roosevelt on the theory that
he had been aware for some time of
Cook IS intention to claim the discovery
of the north pole and that Peary there
fore would sanction nothing to aid this
project.
Peary's Forthcoming statement con
corning Cook, it was learned, will charge
that Cook can not produce shoes,
sledges or other equipment that will
show the wear and tear that come from
travel over the arctic ice. This is the
first intimation of any specific evidence
that the commander will produce, al
though he has said he has evidence
enough to discredit DIR. Cook. 1t seem:
evident that Peary wants to issue his
statement in the near future, especially
since the arrival of Harry Whitney al
Indian Harbor.
