"The daily distance covered on the
northward trip was slightly less than
fifteen miles; on the southwark trip it
was ten miles. This is not abnormal
distance for Eskimos on the ice.

Dr. Cook concluded his observations
with a reference to the kind way he
had been treated by the king. who was
greatly interested in his adventures.
He stated that he is going to New
York as soon as possible.
He will remain here for a few days
and then will proceed to Brussels,
where he is a member of the Polar
club. He assured his hearers that he
did not want to go to the pole again,
either north or south.

Peary's Eskinos
Members of the Peary club also de-
clare that the Eskipos used by DR..
Cook belonged to Peary and that he
had no permission to seek their as
sistance.
But the friends of DR.. Cook are les

positive data to prove his claims, out
weighs the skepticism which has ap-

Harbor Brilliant
A bright sun lit up the blue waters
of Copenhagen harbor. SAips and
yachts on every side were gay with
flags and the shore and piers were
crowded with people.
Two big American flags flanked the
landing stage where Crown Prince
Christian and other notable person
ages awaited for an hour the appear
ance of the Hans Egede. Hundreds of
small boats containing sightseers,
swarmed the waters of the harbor.
Many of these boats were filed with
American tourists waving the stars
and stripes.
Continuing his conversation later in
the day DR.. Cook said he had in his
possession the best modern Instruments

three chronometers and good watch
and that he took daily observations
from S5 degrees to the pole. While at
the pole he took double observations
to make sure.
He declared that twelve miles day
was not much for Eskimos, who often
covered greater distances.
He preserved the health of himself
and his companions by living as do the
Eskimos. Both the Eskimos with him
were young men who were fully hnder
his influence and followed his instruc-
tions absolutely.

"Our two foremost Danish Arctic ex-
plorers, Amundsen and Rasmussen,
know DR.. Cook personally and they
have assured us that they believe ex-
plicitly every word he says about his
achievement. Their word is as good as
gold with us on such questions.
Commodore Hovgaard. the command
er of the royal yachts and one of the
foremost of Denmark's Arctic eXplor-
ers, had an opportunity today of exam
lning DR.. Cooks journals.
Later he said to the Associated
Press:
"I noticed certain inaccuracies in the
newspaper reports of the expedition,
but a long conversation with DIR. Cook
has convinced me that his statements

 He saw that his position had become an exceedingly unsafe one. To the people at the Hotel Cecil he had pre- tended to leave for the continent. and had given an address abroad, whereas I had found him living in quiet seclus- ion as guest at Stapleton Grange.
 I looked at his dark face across the table and wondered. The countenance was not an open one. The eyes were set too closely together while beneath the well trimmed n1ustache was a hard. cruel mouth, the mouth of a man who was as dishonorable as he was unscrupu1ous.
 What would father and daughter think if they knew the actual truth of their guests trickery toward Gran vile Cough or of his association with the notorious woman Lydia Popescu.

 To nv host I was describing some of my journeys hither and thither on the continent since our last meeting. when suddenly he said:

 Garshore pricked up his ears. and glanced quickly across at me. "Oh! he is all right. just as merry as ever" I replied airily "Browsee on Nietzsches works as usual, and is full of quaint philosophy that's all his own.'

 This was poser. Granny had of course. never allowed the truth to leak out to Myra or her father. He lovet her. and used often to say to me that he would be wealthy one day, for one of his many company-promotine schemes must turn up trumps. There fore why should he confess the ugly truth to her?
