SURPRISING the information. ia
Sydney, N. S., Sept. .21.-The tug
Douglas H. Thomas, which left Battle
Harbor Saturday morning in company
with the Peary steamer Roosevelt, ar
lived here at daylight and reported
The Roosevelt travelling south under
steam and sail at a speed of ten
knots an hour. =
The buildings Of the town, together
with the shipping in the harbor, are
gay with fluttering display of flags
In anticipation of Commander Peary's
return. The streets present holiday
appearance and the people are on the
dptoe of expectancy.
According to a statement made last
Saturday at Battle Harbor by Will
liam Pritchard, cabin boy and assist
ant cook on the Roosevelt, two per-
sons knew as long as last April that
DR.. Frederick A. Cook claimed to have
reached the pole April 21, 1908.
These persons are Harry Whitney, a
wealthy sportsman of New Haven,
Conn, who is at present on the Green
land coast on board the steamer jean
ME-, and Pritchard himself. They
saw Cook at Annotok, Greenland,
after his return from the north.
Whitney suppresses News.
The only reference to DR.. Cook
which Whitney is known to have
made on his brief sotourn on board
the Roosevelt was a casual remark to
a member of the Peary party that he
believed that DR.. Cook had reached
the pole. Pritchard kept the, news
even more faithfully and his statement
of Saturday was the first intimation
that he had any information on this
subject. Pritchard explained Satur-
day that he kept the news. to himself
because he did not wish to be dragged
into the trouble. He was asked how
he knew, before he came south on the
Roosevelt, that there was going to be
controversy and declared that DIR.
Cook had cautioned him not to speak
to any one until he reached civiliza-
ton. Pritchard's reticence with this
important news in his possession was
a complete surprise to everybody on
board the Roosevelt.
In the beginning Pritchard told the
correspondent that Cook had talked
freely to him at Annotok with regard
to his dash over the Ice, Indicating to
him on map the route he had fol-
lowed. Later Pritchard modified this |
by explaining that Cooks story was |
told to Whitney and that he (Pritch-
ard) was present in the room.
