New-York tribune., 1909-09-09
PEARY AND COOK.

An important addition has been made IN The
ranks of those who doubt the correctness Of Dir.
Cooks story about discovering the North Poie.
Commander Peary believes that il should not be
treated too seriously because he reports That
it is diScrcdted by the Esquimaus who accom-
uanied Dr. Cook. He SAYS they assert that the
Brooklyn explorer was mot out of sight OF
land
No doubt Commander Pcary Will amplify his
reasons when he gets Il chance. and supply ether
information about his finding these Esqumaus.
but il is not hard Ia imagine how he came to
meet them. If. as is not unlikely. they belonged
"a a tribe whose home is near Etah. Greenland.
Dr. Cooks first base. they would naturally re
turn TO that point when their services were
ended A. Etah is one of the places at which
Commander Peary has been in the habit of stop
ping. both when northward. and southWard
bound the rest of the matter seems easy. 1t Is
probable that the Roosevelt which is bringing
him hack reached Etah in July or August. and
that Dr. Cooks companions were there ahead Of
him. So friendly were the relations between
Commander Peary and the natives whom he has
met in the past that il would be perfectly nat
ural for them 10 report TO him what they sup
posed they knew, and il is not incredible that
they understood what they were talking about
Al any rate. Commander Peary convinced
that they told the truth and under the circum
stances ii was clearly his privilege, if not his
duty, TO say SO at once. Nor can 1t be doubted
that his opinion will exert tremendous influ-
ence
Even before this startling comment had been
offered a conspicuous increase Of skepticism re-
garding DR. Cooks claim had become manifest
In Denmark, where 1t has been received with
the most favOr-with premature confidence, we
believe-a reaction has set in. The head of the
university which voted TO confer a degree on
DIR. Cook withheld his approval. and the King
who relied on the advice of others is said to
have been "disilluslonzed.' 1t is coming to be
recognized. both there and elsewhere that diff
ferent original estimates must be put upon the
claims Of the two men who report having
reached the pole.
Peary's established character has insured the
prompt acceptance Of his story So far as we
have observed, no one doubts that he really per
formed the feat. He is one Of the men whose
word is accepted al its face value Much less is
known about DR.. Cook. He is evidently one OF
the many from whom an extraordinary state
ment is held 70 need corroboration He has
made at least one striking announcement before
which has not been universally credited Other
mountain climbers. like Sir Martin Conway and
the Duke OF the Abruzzi, have deemed the as
