said ne was not asked any more ques-
tiens by Peary. But the next day
Cooks E,skimos came to Whitney and
asked him what Peary's men were try
ing TO get them TO say
Peary's men had shown the Eskimes
papers and maps. but the Eskimos de-
clared they did not understand these
papers
So Tar as Whitney is aware Cooks
Eskimos never admitted that while

mated at about $4,000. 1t is not known
whether Mr.. Madrid had his store in
