Harry Whitney at Annatok-8rook-
lyn Explorer Says Peary Has Not
Yet Proved His Own Claim.


Battle Harbor, Labrador, by Mar
conf Wireless via Cape Ray, N. F.,
Sept. 20.-One of the men on the
steamer Roosevelt at least knew long
ago that Dr. Frederick A. Cook had
claimed to have reached the pole. He
is William Pritchard, cabin boy and
assistant cook on the Roosevelt, who
remained at Annatok with Boatswain
Murphy to guard the stores. Pritchard
had not spoken to any one on board
of DR.. Cooks achievement, but when
confronted, just prior to the sailing OF
the Roosevelt from Battle Harbor,
with a wireless message from mid
ocean that DR.. Cook said Pritchard
knew the whole story of his dash for
the pole, the youth admitted that he
had learned from DR.. Cook the details
of the final march and that DR.. Cook
had explained to him the route fol
lowed.
Whether Boatswain Murphy also
was informed of DR.. Cooks success
Pritchard did not know, but unques-
tionably Harry Whitney, who was at
the storehouse when DR.. Cook return
ed from his dash with the two Es-
kimos, is conversant with all the facts.
Whitney did not disclose this inter
esting piece of news to Commander
Peary, and Pritchard kept it from
Peary during the entire voyage of the
Roosevelt to Battle HarbOr.
Pritchard said that he was at the
house at AnnatOk with Whitney and
Cook, while Murphy was at Etah. He
heard DR.. Cook describe to the New
Haven sportsman how he went to the
pole and remained there two days. He
could not remember whether Dr. Cool
said he remained there April 21 anf
April %, or whether it was April 2.
and 23 DR.. Cook used a map to illus
trate the route followed.
Asked why he had not repeated this
on board the Roosevelt, Pritchard saiC
that Dr. Cook had told him to sa!
nothing about his having been at th'
pole until the Roosevelt reached civil
Zation.
