a letter from DR.. Cook to Francke.
dated the seventeenth of March. The
two men rejoined the other four men
who had been left behind, and the six
returned to Anoratok. arriving May Z.
This information was obtained not
from the two Eskimo boys, but from
the six men who returned and from
Francke himself, and was known to
us in the summer of 1908, when the
Roosevelt first arrived at Etah. The
information is inserted here as supple
mentary to the narrative of the two
boysl.
After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eskimos turned back, DR..
Cook and the two boys went in
northerly or northwesterly direction
with two sledges and twenty-odd dogs,
one or more march, when they en-
countered rough ice and lead of open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestern a short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
at point west Of where they had left
the cache and where the four men had
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
few items of supplies.
When asked why only a few sup
plies 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 1t.
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.
Do not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sledges did they have
when they got back to land? Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their sledges when they came back to
land? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had
about all they could carry, so they
we're able to take but few things
from the cache.
From here they went southwest

Gate and Simmons peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entire journey, except as already
noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard
they encountered open water. On this
point the boys were clear, emphatic
and unshakable. They spent good

to North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet,
then back along the north coast OF
Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera,
where they obtained fresh elder duck:
eggs. Here they cut the remaining
sledge off, that is shortened it, as it.
was awkward to transport with the
boat, and near here they killed val
rus.
The statement in regard to tho fresh.
elder duck eggs permits the approx
mate determination of the date at this
time as about the first Of July. (This.
statement also serves, II indeed any.
thing more than the inherent straight
forwardness and detail of their nara
tive were needed, to substantiate the
accuracy and truthfulness of the boys
statement. This location of Cape Vera
is mentioned in Sverdrup's narrative
as the place where Outing his stay in
that region he obtained elder duck
eggs.)
From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle of Jones
Sound, where they killed seal;
thence east along the south coast of
the sound, killing three bears at the
point noted on the map, to the PENN
sula known as Cape Sparbo on the

Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence

Commander Peary's Introduction.
Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DR.. Cook from An.
oratok in February, 1908, were at
1908. They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys we're
I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. I had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement l
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me,
in a general way, where DR.. Cook had
been; that he had wintered in Jones
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I-took-a-shoo and A-pe-lah,
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story. On
reaching Etah, l talked with the Els.
kimos there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe DR.. Cooks
| journey to members of my party and
myself. This they did in the manner
| stated below

Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson, in Re.
gard to Testimony of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
The two Eskimo boys, 1-took-a-shoo
and Ah.pe-lah, who accompanied DR..
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned
separately and independently, and
were corroborated by Panikpah, the
father of one of them Q-took- a-shoo),
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their

for the remaining third as shown by
them, was as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
The narrative of these Eskimos Is
as follows:
They, with Dr.. 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 a
few marches Francke and three Eski.
mos returned to Anoratok. Ga.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The prejudice against a college educa-
ton for any but girls who expect to
make careers has about died out. because
so many of the brilliant matrons Of to-
day are college bred. They are well
poised and able in so many directions
that none but appreciative wooers ap-
proach them, and almost without eXcep-
ton they make good housewives and wise
mothers. There IS a place for them in
domestic life. despite the prevailing idea
that men prefer wives who know less
rather than more than their husbands
are supposed to know
The college-bred woman is not likely
to be blinded by affection. She reads
faces as she reads books. and is not
likely 10 take chances on unhappiness.
II she makes mistakes. she admits them
and seeks a proper remedy, II one exists
If not, she takes a lesson from them
and proceeds to forget them. She is
bound to be resourceful and is reason
ably safe from the boredom which drives
so many women to Stiffness. You may
be sure that she knows something or
the business which absorbs her husband
during working hours-possibiy she is
an inspiration to him.
1t IS a common saying that two bril-
liant minds never assimilate-it Is not
wholly true. While it may be true that
some men who use their brains 10 ex-
cess find rest in the companionship OF
shallow women, there are bound to be
times when they long 70 escape from
them. In general the longing IS carried
out, and the wives never know in what
they have failed.
There are mothers who train daughters
to expect temporary hckleness in men
in that way they ward off disappoint-
ments and heartaches. There are men
who literally purchase their bits Of free
dom and everybody is satisfied. But
among them you do not find the hus-
bands of women who know their own
worth-life is too short 10 waste any
part Of its sweetness, and sensible, broad
minded men and women do not enter
matrimony without due consideration. A
judge who has presided over the divorce
court TIL he is sick at heart with the
