THE NORTH POLE REACHED.


erick A. Cooks resident of Brooklyn,
n. Y, has succeeded in accomplish
ing what many others have for the
past four centuries attempted but
failed to do-discovered the north
pole. This notable event took place
on the 2lst of April. 1908 but the in
trepid explorer was not able to get to
a point where the news could be given
to the world until one day last week,
the first account being published on
Thursday in the Paris edition of the
New York Herald.
AFTER a prolonged fight with
famine and frost" says DR.. Cook, we
have at last succeeded in reaching the
north pole A new highway, with
an interesting trip of animated nature
has been explored and big game
haunts located which will delight
sportsmen and extend the Eskimo
horizon. Land has been discovered
on which rest the earth's northermost
rocks. A triangle of 30. 900 square
miles has been cut out of the ter
restrial unknown.
The American flag was set up at
the point which DR.. Cook decided by
observation with the sextant to be the
location of the pole, and by the law
of discovery this will become d
United States possession.
The expedition which led to this
great discovery was the outcome of a
summer cruise in the Arctic seas
which arrived at the limits Of naviga-
ton late in August 1907. about zoe
miles from the pole. A large num-
Der of Eskimos had gathered there fol-
the annual bear hunt. and DR.. Cook
decided the situation was an ad-
vantageous one for dash toward the
coveted spot at latitude 80 degrees,
longitude nothing. A party COM
prised of eleven men, all Eskimos
but DI. Cook, and with 103 strong
dogs drawing sledges loaded with
provisions, ETC., set out northward on
Feb. Is. 1908. The temperature at
times sunk to SO degrees centigrade
and great suffering resulted among
both men and dogs. Finally all OF
the men but two deserted the de.
termined explorer, but with these two
and 26 dogs the final stages of the
journey were continued, the advance
being made over moving sea ice.
beyond the range of all life-neither
tracks of bears nor blow holes OF seals
being detected. The night of April
was made notable by the swinging
of the sun at midnight over the
northern ice. When the pole was
finally reached. every direction was
south and with a single step DR..
Cook could pass from one side of the
earth to the other-fIom midday to
midnight.
How important bearing this dis
covery may have upon the future can
not now be even conjectured, but it is
a satisfaction to know that~it was
the daring and fcrtitude and know.

remarkable achievement, all accom-
