Whv Whitney Did Not Go Back to
 E+ah

%
 Asked why he did not return to Etah and get Cooks property, after he had joined the Jeanie, Whitney replied that he and Captain Bartlett debated that point at length. Bartlett wanted him to go back, but he was in this predica- ment: He had promised his chief Es- kimo a Winchester rifle, which was to have been brought up by the Jeanie. But for some reason or other this weapon was not on board the Jeanie, and, before Whitney left Etah, he had arranged the matter with the Eskimo by giving him an equivalent for the rifle. He explained that he did not like to go back to Etah and when asked for the rife, have to admit that it was not on board. MT. Whitney therefore decided to go bear hunting.
 In conclusion Mir. Whitney declared that he regretted being dragged into this controversy. He said he had found both Dr. Cook and Commander Peary most courteous and considerate, and that he had never met any men whose conduct generally was more commendable or whose dealing with him had been more fair.
