PEARYS STORY OF TRIP
TO THE NORTH POLE
Continued from 2nd page(

Of ten, eight and Eve miles, with
light sledge and double teams Of
dogs and a couple of Eskimos, in
taking observations at different places:
in taking photographs in securing
the horizon in every direction with
a powerful telescope. and in search
for land and in determining upon a
place where 1 might make sounding.
THE POLE AT LAST.
After my observations were COM
pleted. the party, with a special flag
which I had carried Tor twelve years,
moved toward the place which my
Obervations seemed to indicate IS the
proper place. the flag was there dis

That is not an artificial mound of

who have looked at this picture. It
was natural ice pinnacle which was
conveniently near.
The flag. as | have already noted,
is flag made for me by Mrs Peary
some twelve years ago, light, silken
flag, with the stars embroidered upon
a blue field. It is a flag which I
have carried with me in all my Arctic
expeditions, and my custom has been
that at every salient point, or the
farthest salient point, reached by me
in my various expeditions, / have
cut a piece of that flag. which usual
" included part of the blue field,
and part of the red stripe, and in
closed it there with my record.
We had reached the pole at last,
but we had to come back from there.

to do if possible on the return march

STORY OF HARDSHIP ENDS.


close
STORY OF HARDSHIP ENDS.
As my last sledge came on the last
firm ice and / knew there was to be
no more of that haunting, heart
breaking, nerve-racking night mare
of the black leads, sleeping tor two
Oh three hours and then getting up
and W 1rking all Of the next day to
the very limits of human endurance,
those tired Eskimos went practically
crazy with joy.
They laughed and jumped and
danced, and then dropped exhausted
to the sledges. One of the Eskimos l
heard remark to his companion :;
''Tamash (that is the name of the
devil in Eskimo) is asleep or else he
is having a discussion with Mrs.
Tamash or we could not have gotten
back as easy as we did. +"
Here is our camp under the slopes
of Cape Columbia, the camp to which
we came back to sleep the clock
around almost four times. as we took
forty eight hours continuous sleep
here.
On this trip we were not hungry !;
we had not gone on short ratiUns, but
the men ana the dogs were almost
Iifeless from fatigue and loss of sleep.
I doubt if many of you can realize
what sleep meant to these fatigued
men and dogs. After we got to that
camp, completely worn out in mind
and body, it was, sleep. sleep, sleep
and then, turn over and sleep again.
And that is what we did.
Now, [ want to try to bring home
to you what was the meaning in
physical effort of this 413 miles OF
travel each way to the pole. There
was no hunger in it, but only physical
effort to the utmost limits for even
these hardened adult Eskimos.
Here is a monument we erected
later on Cape Columbia. In that
cairn is a record sealed in glass so
that it shall not be injured by the
water. 1t gives on one side a com
plete roster of the people on the
Roosevelt and on the other side the
record of the trip.
This monument marks the de-
parture of the sledge party of the
Peary Arctic Club which on the 9th
of April, 1909, discovered the North
Pole and planted the stars and stripes
there.
Here is another monument which
