which to record his observations and

now resolves itself into one Of priority,
and Commander Peary and DR.. Cook
doubtless will fight that out between
themselves. According to Or. Cook he
discovered the pole before ePary had
started. That detractS nothing from
Pearv's honor and glory Each eX-

the aid OF the observations OF the
other. There is honor enough for
