DR.. COOKS 0. K.
Is Placed on the Statement Made by
Harry Whitney.

when shown Mr.. Whitneys statement
made yesterday, said that he approved
of all that Mr.. Whitney had said.
Everything in the interview is sub
stantially correct said DR.. Cook. at
confirms my declarations.
With reference to the written in
structions given to Murphy, the boat
swain, by Commander Peary, DR.. Cook
said:
1.-THE written Instructions handed to
the illiterate boatswain, Murphy, were
worded very ambiguously, as Mr..
ment on them now. Let Mr.. Peary
publish them"
Concerning the papers left with Mr..
Whitney, DR.. Cook said:
''Mr. Whitney was in all probability
unaware of the written records being
left with him. They are not of much
consequence, as I have duplicates. AS
to the instruments, his statements are
correct. There was a sextant and an
artificial horizon, and the third case
contained two compasses. I have the
watch chronometer here.
1.-THE whole story as to my not go
ing farther north is based on the re-
ply 1 gave to Murphy, when he asked
me one day, Have you been farther
than 81 north?' answered, Yes,
much farther north But I gave no
other information to Murphy and Mr..
Whitney stuck to the original idea and
1.-The Eskimos did the same. They
had promised me not to disclose what
I had DONE.
Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of
the Peary Arctic club, said he was a
member of the expedition of ten years
ago when Commander Peary met the
Norwegian explorer Sverdrup. and
that the American explorer not only
carried a large amount of mail to
Sverdrup. but brought back with him
from Smith sound mail which Sverd-
rup gave him to be forwarded to
Christiania
'HThe Pearyf party did not refuse to
bring back Sverdrup's records" said
Mr.. Bridgman, 'but suppose he did
not care to hand over his records to
others
At Etah, Mr.. Bridgman continued,
he and other members of the Peary
party visited Sverdrup's ship and the
relations between the groups of ex-
plorers were exceedingly cordial.
