SlNGLE-HANOEo. AMERICAN
HAS BEEN TRIUMPHANT

| New York, Sept. "Slngle.banded
and alone DR. Cook has apparently ac-
compllshcd what hundreds of moro eX-
perienced and botter equipped explor-
ers nave ben trying for In vain foI
years was the comment OF Herbert
l.. Bridgman OF Brooklyn. secretary OF
the Peary Arctic club and an intimate
friend of DR.. Cook.
Beside men Ike Peary." continued
Mr.. Bridgman. who himself has taken
a large part In several Arctic explo-
rations during the past fifteen years.
Cook Is a comparative amateur. He
went north merely as the surgeon OF
an expedition and was left behind with
a small store of supplies at his own
request
He appears 10 have awaited a
favorable time and when things
looked right he pushed northward. ac-
companied only by two EsQuimaux,
depending for his supplies largely on
the small amount of canned goods he
carried and the musk OK, which ho
probably sscertalned were plentiful
along the route he planned to take.
Over the Ice.
According TO his last letters he
must have left Etab about February 2l .
1908. Crossing to Euesmereland he
reached Cape Thomas Hubbard. There
he may have waited few days ana
laid I'm a stock OF fresh meat Finally
when all was ready. on March II, he
took his two trusty Esquimaux ser
wants and started on his risky dash
over the Polar lce-50O miles TO tho
ultimate north.
He reached the pole. the dispatches
tell us, on April 2l, averaging In the
neighbOrhood OF fifteen miles n day
II he travelled In g straight line. max
Ing far higher average it-as is likely
-he was compelled to so In a round
about way
From the time OF his arrival until
today We have little but guesswork on
which to form any theory as TO the
movements of Cook
There nre some long gaps of time
TO be accounted for In Dr. Cooks
movements. but any one who has ever
been I'm the north can readily realize
that there are n thousand and one
things which might have delayed him.
Element Of Luck.
1T Is rather remarkable that DR.
Cook did not cable TO his friends IN
America the news OF his accomplish
ment That the captain of the Dan
fish sheamer was the first to report
the news is not particularly remark
able, as the captain Is a government
official and would not be expected &C
send a notice of the achievement to
his 9uperiors.
Or. Cooks achievement shows how
largely the element OF luck enters into
tho problem of Arctic exploration II
the reports are correct he has accom-
plished almost without equipment OF
preparation a thing which the most
thoroughly equipped expeditions have
failed in"
