His Independent Discovery
of the North Pole SiIences
All the Scientific DOubterS

a S if to silence the croakings Of
~ the scientific Doubling Thomas
"A es who had been rending the at
mosphere with their pessimistic
refusal to credit Dr. Frederick A. Cook
with his greatest of modern geOgraIIll-
1cal attainmentS came the electric flash
which, translated into the vernacular,
became, "Stars and stripes nailed to
the north pole" The signature to this
wonderful message was "Peary," and
that was enough to make it of su-
preme Importance.
Peary discovered the pole on April
6, 1909, and consequently reached the
coveted goal nearly a year later than
DR.. Cook. He did not find any traces
Of Cooks expedition near the pole.
Pearys Last Trip.
Commodore Peary left New York on
his last trip on July I. 19OS to join his
exploration steamer Roosevelt at Sgd
ney, Cape Breton, for the dash to the
pole. The vessel was admirably equip
ped for such an expedition, and the ex-
plOrer was confident of success.
''If / have ordinary good luck" he
said just before his departure. my
friends in New York may take it for
granted that will make my final dash
during the coming winter. If l should
reach the pole in the winter Of 100S-O9,
which is the hope Of my life, you
will hear Of my triumph between Aug.
Is and Sept. 10, 1909"
The explorer arrived at Cape York.
Greenland, July 81, 1908. On Aug. IL
the Roosevelt was at Etah, which
point she left Sept. 26 He had good
supply of Eskimos, dogs and provi-
sions.
The last word from Peary prior to
his message waS received Oct. Z, 1908,
from Harry Whitney, wealthy resi-
dent of New Haven, Conn.,, who was
left by the expedition at Etah in charge
of Peary's provisions. He said that
the Roosevelt left Etah on Aug. 15 on
its northern journey.
Some idea of the course the explorer
took may be gained from his plans as
he outlined them before his departure
His idea was to reach the pole by the
'American route" Il way which he
himself had studied and developed
during his former expedition The ad-
vantage of this route is that it allows
Il base of supplies approximately 100
miles nearer the goal than the Spitz-
bergen case, its chief rival.
The advantages of the route ap-
peared from Peary's trip i'll 1906 when
he attained the northernmost point
hitherto reached by man--S7 degrees
minutes at the forty-ninth meridian
Of west longitude. This was on April
81. The commander on his present
expedition hoped to follow the path
taken three years ago.
Caught In Ice Drift.
Comparatively smooth travelling he
then found until he reached latitude
50 degrees II minutes. There he en-
countered terrific storm which held
him prisoner while the ice drift car
rlcd him seventy miles to the east.

.PEARy SECONDS COOKS EXPLOIT.
A Second Daring American
Arctic Explorer Has Reach.
ed the Top OF the World

These handicaps and the constantly
widening lanes of water and increaS-
ing roughnoSs of the ice, together with
threatened failure of supplies. forced
peary to turn back on April 81. when
lie had reached latitude 81 degrees
minutes. TO have gone further would
have meant sure death by starvation.
At this point Peary put up flags and a
brief record of his achievements and
started back for Cape Morris JesuIA
Concerning further plans for his ad-
vance on the pole. Peary said:
There is no doubt in my nll, .,ut
that the big lead encountered in hri
my upward and return marc.l.3 j.. II.
last expedition. and vhia! -, as
observed by me in 1892. :!,':;,, :!
closed at that time. is an c>Sr!;i' W.:
permanent feature of this part q: the
Arctic ocean. This lead extends west
ward from Cape Norris Jesup. the
most northern point of Greenland. in
the general neighborhood of the
eighty-fourth parallel, toward Crocker
Land and forms the line of demarka-
ton between the heavy. rough, nearly
motiOnlesS Ice embayed in the great
blight between Cape Jesup and Crock
er Land, and the less heavy, more mo-
bile ice Of the central polar sea, mov-
ing steadily from the ice encumbered
areas north of Berlny strait. across
the pole toward the north Atlantic in
broad stream between Cape Morris
Jesup and the northern point of Franz
Josef Land
Il have little doubt of my ability to
make this lead-that Is, the eighty
fourth parallel-instead of the north
coast of Grant Land (S3 degrees north
latitude), my point of departure, with
fully loaded slcdgcs. If this is done
it will shorten the route by nearly 100
miles and distinctly simplify the
proposition.
"On the return march in the next
expedition l probably shall do volun-
tarily what l did involuntarily last
time-that is. retreat upon the north
coast of Greenland Ia course diagonal
ly with the set of the ice) instead of
attempting to come back to the north
coast of Grant Land (diagonally
against the set Of the ice).
Features Of Plan.
''The main features Of my program
are, first, the utilization Of the Smith
sound, or American route. This
must be accepted today as the best
Of all possible routes for determined,
aggressive attack upon the pole.
"Second.-The selection of q winter
base which commands wider range
of the central polar sea and its sur
rounding coasts than any other possi-
BILE base in the arctic regions. Cape
Sheridan is practically equidistant
from Crocker Land, from the remain
ing unknown portion Of the northeast
coast Of Greenland and from my Near
est the Pole of 1906
"Third.-The use of sledges and Es-
kino dogs. Man and the Eskimo dogs
are the only two machines capable of

sentiment is unanimous that working.

law. 1t is urged that every local of a
trades union constitute itself q receiy-
ing agency for funds to- be deposited
IN savings bank on account of one of
the two heads mentioned and that
every provision possible be made by
unions to have as many members as
possible take out as much insurance as
they can possibly carry and keep it in

We Mead Not Fear Freedom.

! do not know what women will
do when She is free. | am willing
to trust her. I do not even know
what man will do when he is free.
But what | do know is that all
outworn institutions of human
tyranny that fear the free man are
the same ones that doubly fear the
free women; and every weapon
which revolutionary logic can give
me for my own salvation l. will
glory to place in my sisters hand
for her salvation, too.-Franklin
II. Wentworth.
