Professor Dyche believes Peary found
out from the Esquimaux before he got
back to civilization that Cook had dig
covered the pole and had already pre-
pared the statements he has given out.
He believes, however, that both men
have found the pole.
"I cannot imagine Lieutenant Peary
acting as he is about this matter. I
suppose a man foiled in the ambition III
a lifetime might act strangely, but
Peary always appeared like a conserva-
tive man who was willing to prove
everything and was not Jealous of the
success of another. Then, Peary has
not been at this exploring work any
longer than Doctor Cook. Cook was
the surgeon on the first expedition
Peary ever made to the North Pole and
set Peary's leg when it was broken"
said Professor Dyche.
