From here they went west across
the ice, which was level and covered
with snow, Offering good going, to
low island which they had seen from
the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
camped for one sleep.
The size and position of this island,
as drawn by the first boy. was criti-
cised by the second boy as being too
large and too far to the west, the sec
ond boy calling the attention of the
first to the fact that the position of
the island was more nearly in line
with the point where they had left
Heiberg Land (Cape Northwest and
the channel between Amund Ringnes
Land and Ellef Ringnes Land.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring
nes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
left-hand one of these two lands
| (Amund Ringnes Land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore of Amund
Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed a
deer as indicated on the chart.

the period of time in which Dr. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and

which he could possibly have made
any attempts to go to it.

Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between

prepared to accept the claim that DR.
Cook went from Cape Northwes

q letter from DIR. Cook to Francke,
dated the seventeenth Of March. The
two men rejoined the other four men
who had been left behind, and the six
returned to Anoratok. arriving May z.
This information was obtained not
from the two Eskimo boys, but from
the six men who returned and from
Francke himself, and was known to
us in the summer of 1908, when the
Roosevelt first arrived at Etah The
information is inserted here as supple
mentary to the narrative of the two
boys).
After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eskimos turned back, DR..
Cook and the two boys went in a
northerly or northwesterly direction
with two sledges and twenty-odd dogs,
one or more march, when they en-
countered rough ice and lead of open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward a short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
at point west of where they had left
the cache and where the four men had
| turned back.
Here they remained four or five
| sleeps, and during that time I-took-a
shoe went back to the cache and got
his gun, which he had left there, and
a few items of supplies.
When asked why only a few sup
plies were taken from the cache, the
boys replied that only a small amount
of provisions had been used in the
few days since they left the cache
and that their sledges still had al
they could carry, so that they coul6
not take more.
After being informed of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested series of questions to b,
put to the boys in regard to this triI
from the land out and back to 1t.
These questions and answers wer,
as follows:

OF Liberty.
A colored man from Georgia had
lived in Washington but few years
when he was arrested for some slight
violation of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in jail, the
secretary of the colored Y. M. G. A.
secured the services of minister to
go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond. They reached the jail
shortly before noon, and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
sponse to the proffered kindness he
said.
"Mistah Johnsing, sho is glad you
all is gwine to git me out, but l
wants you-all to fix it so l can't git
out till late dis evenin'."
OF course the two Samaritans we're
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
ual request. But a moment later they
lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia
negro replied in whisper:
"Well, sab, dey's a:gittin' dinnah

sho would like to git some o. dem

Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup' and Henson, in Re-
gard to Testimony of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
\The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied DR.,
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned
separately and independently, and
were corroborated by Panikpah, the
father of one of them Q-took-a-shoo),
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 as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
The narrative of these Eskimos Is
as follows:
They, with DR.. Cook, Francke and
nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok,
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept in Commander Peary's old house
III Payer Harbor, then went through
Rice strait to Buchanan bay. After a
few marches Francke and three Eski-
mos returned to Anoratok.
DIR. Cook, with the others. then pro-
ceeded up Flagler bay. branch OF
Buchanan bay, and crossed Elles-
mere Land through the valley pass at
the head of Flagler bay, indicated by
Commander Peary in 1898. and utilized
by Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of
Sverdrup's Bay Fiord" on the west
side Of Ellesmere Land.
Their route then lay out through
this ford. thence north through Sver-
drup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nansen
strait.
On their way they killed musk oxen
and bear, and made caches, arriving
eventually at point on the west side
of Nansen strait (shore of Axel Hei
berg Land of Sverdrup), south OF
Cape Thomas Hubbard.
A cache was formed here and the
four Eskimos did not go beyond this
point. Two others, Koolootingwah and
Inughito, went on one more march
with Dr. Cook and the two boys
helped to build the snow igloo, ther
returned without sleeping.

commander PearyS introduction.
Some of my reasons for saying that
DIR. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DR.. Cook from An.
oratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when / arrived there in August
190S. They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
I-took.a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah l had
known them from their childhood
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) IL
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me
in general way, where Or. Cook hat
been; that he had wintered in Jone:
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been Ions
way north, but that the boys who wer,
with him, I-took-a-shoo and A-pe-lah
said that this was not so. The Eski
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story. Oh
reaching Etah, 1 talked with the Es
kimos there and with the two boy
and asked them to describe DR.. Cook

myself. This they did in the manne
