CLAIMS Of PEARY ct Al.
Signed Statement by Peary, Bartlett
Mcmillan and Others.


The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied DIR.
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909. were questioned
separately and independently. and
We're corroborated by Panikpah, tho
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their
journey, and who said that the route
for the remaining third. as shown by
them. was rs. described to him by his
son after his return with Or. Cook
Notes of their statements were taken
by several of us. and no one of us has
any doubt that they told the truth.
Their testimony was unshaken by
cross-eXamination, was corroborated
by other men in tie tribe. and was
ELECTED neither by threats nor prom
ises, the two boys and their father
talking Of their journey and their ex-
periences in the same way that they
would talk of any hunting trip.
To go more into details: One OF the
boys was called in, and, with chart
on the table before him. was asked TO
show where he had gone with DR..
Cook. This he did pointing out with
his finger on the map, but not making
any marks upon it.
As he went out. the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he
had gone with DR.. Cook. This he did,
also without making any marks, and
indicated the same route and the same
details as did the first boy.
When he was through. Panikpah,
the father Of I-took-a-shoo, a very in
telligent man. who was in the party
Of Eskimos that came back from pr.
Cook from the northern end of Nan
sens Strait, who lis familiar us hunt
CT with the Jones Sound region, and
who has been in Commander Peary S
various expeditions for some fifteen
years, came in and indicated the same
localities and details as the two boys
Then the first boy was brought II
again, and with pencil he traced or
the map their route. members OF oul
party writing upon the chart where
according to the boys statement, they
had killed deer. bear, some of theil
dogs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen.
The second boy was then called II
and the two went over the chart to
gether, the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father. wa
again called in to verify details Of tn
portions of the route with which h
was personally familiar.
The bulk of. the boys testimony wa
not taken by Commander Peary. no
in his presence, fact that obviate
any possible claim that they wer
awed by him.
I Certain questions on Independent
lines from the direct narrative of th
Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to Some of US. and wer
put BY ms to the Eskimo boys.
Still later. Commander Peary aske
Il the Eskimo boys two or three casua
questions 'on minor points that ha
occurred to him.
