From Cape Vera they went on down

After being informed Of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested a series Of questions to be
put to the boys In regard to this trip
from the land out and back to II.
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time?
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the Iee7 Ans. No.
With how many sIedses did they
start7 Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have7 Ans.
Did not remember exactly. but some
thing over twenty.
How many sledges did they have
when they got back to iandf Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their siedoes when they came back to
Iand7 Ans. Yes; the sIsdges still had
about all they could carry, 90 they
were able to take but . few thinas
from the cache.
From here they went southwest
along the northwest coast Of Heibero
Land to . point indicated on the map
(sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west aeross
the Ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going. to q
low island which they had seen from
the shore Of Heibers Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
eamped for one sleep.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (sverdrup's EiIef Ring
mes and Amund Rhymes tands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
ieft.hand one Of these two lands
(Amund Hinges Land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore Of Amund
Rhymes Land. the EskInos killed a
deer as Indicated on the chart.
The above portion Of the state
ment Of the Eskimo boys covers
the period Of time in which Or. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back. and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to go to II.
" II 10 suggested that perhaps Or.
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did. between
the time Of leaving the northwest
coast Of Heibers Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date Of Or. Cooks let
ter Of March 18th, at or near Cape
Thomas Hubbard. the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number Of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest IA distance Of some sixty
nautical n,iies), which would advance
his date Of departure from the land
to at least the 25th Of March. and be
prepared to accept the claim that Or.
Cook went from Cape Northwest

orees north) to the pole, a distance Of

first you must put on the spectacles."
"Why?" asked Dorothy.
Because If you did not wear spec

Emerald City would blind you. Even
those who live in the City must wear
spectacles night and day. They are

when the City was first built, and /

them"
He opened the big box. and Dorothy
saw that 1t was filled with spectacles
of every size and shape. All of them
had green glasses in them. The
Guardian of the Gates found pair
that would just fit Dorothy and put
them over her eyes. There were two
golden bands fastened to them that
passed around the back of her head,
where they were locked together by

chain the Guardian OF the Gates were

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 a point on the west side
of hansen 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
Inughito, went on one more march

Cook and the two boys went In a

ice, nor cross the lead. but turned
westward or southwestward short
distance and returned to Helbers Land

the cache and where the four men had
turned back.

around his neck. When they were on.
Dorothy could not take them OF had
she wished. but of course she did not
want to be blinded by the glare of the
Emerald City. SO she said nothing.
Then the green man fitted spectacles
for the Scarecrow and the Tin Wood
man and the Lion. and even on little
Toto: and all were locked fast with
the key.
Then the Guardian OF the Gates put
on his own glasses and told them he
was ready to show them to the palace.
Taking big golden key from n peg
on the wall he opened another gate,
and they all followed him through the
portal into the streets of the Emerald
City.

So they passed through the palace

with green carpet and lovely green
furniture set with emeralds. The SOL
der made them all wipe their feet
upon a green mat before entering this
room. and when they were seated he
said, politely:

The soldier now blew upon a green
whistle, and at once young girl,
dressed in a pretty green silk gown,
entered the room. She had lovely
green hair and green eyes, and she
bowed low before Dorothy as she said:
Follow me and / will show you
your room"
So Dorothy said good-by to all her
friends except Toto, and taking the
dog in her arms followed the green
girl through seven passages and up
three flights of stairs until they came

The woman now called to them that
supper was ready, so they gathered
around the table and Dorothy ate
some delicious porridge and a dish OF
scrambled eggs and a plate OF nice
white bread. and enjoyed her meal.
The Lion ate some of the porridge. but
did not care for IT. saying 1t was made
from oats and oats were food for

and the Tin Woodman ate nothing at
all. Toto ate little of everything.
and was glad to get a good supper
again.
The woman now gave Dorothy bed
to sleep in. and Toto lay down beside
her, while the Lion guarded the door
of her room so she might not be dis
turbed. The Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman stood up In corner and
kept quiet all night, although. Of
course. they could not sleep.
The next morning. as soon as the
sun was up. they started on their way,
and soon saw a beautiful green glow
In the sky just before them.
That must be the Emerald City"
said Dorothy.
As they walked on. the green glow
became brighter and brighter. and 1t
seemed that at last they were nearing
the end of their travels. Yet 1t was
afternoon before they came to the
great wall that surrounded the City.
1t was high. and thick. and Of a bright
green color.
In front of them. and at the end Of
the road Of yellow brick. was a big
gate, all studded with emeralds that
glittered SO in the sun that even the
painted eyes of the Scarecrow were
dazxled by their brilliancy.
There was a bell beside the gate,
and Dorothy pushed the button and
heard a silvery tinkle sound within.
Then the big gate swung slowly open.
and they all passed through and found
themselves in a high arched room. the
walls Of which glistened with count
less emeralds.
Before them stood little man
about the same size as the Munchkins.
He was clothed all in green, from his
head to his feet. and even his skin
was of greenish tint. At his side
was large green box.
When he saw Dorothy and her COM
panions the man asked:
What do you wish in the Emerald
City,"
I'VE came here to see the Great
o." said Dorothy.
The man was so surprised at this
answer that he sat down to think It
over.

one asked me to see o." he said.
shaking his head in perplexity. He
is powerful and terrible, and II you
come on an idle or foolish errand to
bother the wise reflections of the

destroy you all in an instant"
But 1t is not a foolish errand. nor
an idle one" replied the Scarecrow;

Even with eyes protected by the
green spectacles Dorothy and her
friends were at first dazzled by the
brilliancy Of the wonderful City. The
streets were lined with beautiful
HOUSES all built of green marble and
studded everywhere with sparkling
emeralds. They walked over pave
ment of the same green marble. and
where the blocks were Joined together
were rows of emeralds, set closely.
and glittering in the brightness of the
sun. The window panes were Of
green glass; even the sky above the
City had a green tint, and the rays of
the sun were green.
There were many people, men, wom-
en- and children walking about, and
these were all dressed In green
clothes and had greenish skins. They
looked at Dorothy and her strangely
assorted company with wondering
eyes, and the children all ran away
and hid behind their mothers when
they saw the Lion; but no one spoke
to them. Many shops stood in the
street, and Dorothy saw that every
thing in them was green. Green
candy and green popcorn were offered
for sale, as well as green shoes, green
hats and green clothes of all sorts. At
one place a man was selling green
lemonade, and when the children
bought it Dorothy could see that they
paid for 1t with green pennies.
There seemed to be no horses nor
animals of any kind: the men carried
things around in little green carts
which they pushed. before them
Every one seemed happy and con-
tented and prosperous.

through the streets until they came to
