Peary's having found the tube contain
ing his records, DR.. Cook replied !:
Il hope so, but that is doubtful, on
account of the drift"
DR.. Cook added:
Commander Peary would have
reached the pole this year, probably
while | was there. Last year his route
was several miles east of mine. We
were rivals, of course, but the pole is
good enough for two.
THAT two men got to the pole along
different paths, continued the explorer,
should furnish large additions to scien-
tific knowledge. Probably other parties
will reach it in the next ten years, since
every explorer is helped by the expert
ence of his predecessors. just as Sver-
drup's observations and reports were of
Unreasonable help to me. | can say
details than that | am glad of it.
While DIR. Cook was conversing casu-
ally with American friends the POSSIBLE
ity of the denouement which electrified
the world was iaughingly suggested. DR..
Cook remarked:
up now. He is about due to get back; if
he succeeded his feat will confirm mine"
1t is doubtful if history furnishes a
more dramatic episode than the break
ing of the news to DIR. Cook that Peary
had realized the goal of his life's ambi-
ton and repeated struggles. DIR. Cook
was seated at a dinner surrounded by
explorers and correspondents in the
gilded ballroom of the Tivoli Casino.
Around MS neck was hung q garland of
pink roses. according to the Scandlna-
Wan method of honOring heroes, which
the explorer wore blushingly and with
visible embarrassment. Several speeches
acclaiming him had been given and re-
peated toasts TO him drunk with clamor-
Gus cheers.
Amid this scene a whisper went
around that Peary had planted the Stars
and Stripes at the pete. Geek was per-
fectly cool and unmoved. He made
striking speech. in which he paid high
tribute to the work of Sverdrup. who sat
near. to whose discoveries he largely
owed his success; to John r. Bradley,
who had financed the expedition; to ''the
intelligence, endurance, and faithfulness
of the Eskimos, who had assisted him
in the preparations, and those who had
accompanied him.
