Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1909-10-13

Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
During the taking of this testimony,
it developed that DIR. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy,
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of us anything about
their journey, and the boys stated
DR.. Cook had threatened them if they
should tell anything.
The narrative of these Eskimos is
as follows:
They. with DIR. Cook, Francke and
nine other Eskimos, left AnOratok,
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept in Commander Peary's old house
in Payer Harbor, then went through
Rice Strait to Buchanan Bay. After
few marches Francke and three Eski-
mos returned TO Anoratok.
Dr. Cook, with the others, then pro-
ceeded up Flagler Bay, branch of
Buchanan Bay, and crossed Ellesmere
Land through the valley pass at the
head of Flagler Bay, indicated by Com
mander Peary in 1898, and utilized by
Sverdrup in 1890, to the head of Sver-
drup's BAY Ford on the west side
of Ellesmere Land.
Their route then lay out through this
ford. thence north through Sverdrup's
'Heuerka Sound" and Nansen Strait.
On their way they killed musk-oXen
and bear, and made caches, arriving
eventually at a point on the west side
of Nansen Strait shore of AXel Hell
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
InughltO, went on one more march
with DR.. Cook and the two boys, help
ed to build the snow igloo, then re-
turned without sleeping.
CThese two Eskimos brought back q

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 3
few items of supplies.
When asked why only few supple
were taken from the cache, the boys
replied that only small amount of
provisions had been used in the few
days since they left the cache, and that
their sledges still had all they could
carry, so that they could not take more.
After being informed of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested series of questions to be
put to the boys in regard to this trip
from the land out and back to it.
These questions and answers were
as follows:
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time?
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on the
ice? Ans. No.
Did they kill any bear or seal while
out on the ice north of Cape Thomas
Hubbard? Ans. No.
Did they kill or lose any of their
dogs while out on the ice? Ans No.
With how many sledges did they
start? Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have? Ans

Two.
Did they have any provisions left on

able to take but few things from the

From here they then went southwest
