along the northwest coast Of Heiberg
Land to point indicated on the map
(Sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going, to a
low island which they had seen from
the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
camped for one sleep.
The size and position of this island,
as drawn by the first boy. was criti-
cised by the second boy as being too
large and too far to the west, the Sec
ond boy calling the attention of the
first to the fact that the position of
the island was more nearly in line
with the point where they had left
Heiberg Land (Cape Northwest) and
the channel between Amund Ringnes
Land and Ellef Ringnes Land.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring
mes and Amund Ringnes Lands) From
the island they journeyed toward the
left-hand one of these two lands
(Amund Rhymes Land, passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore of Amund
Ringnes Land, the Eskimos 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 DR.. 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 it.
If it is suggested that perhaps DR..
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time of leaving the northwest
coast of Heiberg Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date of DR.. Cooks let
ter of March II, 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 Ca distance of some sixty
nautical miles,, 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 DR..
Cook went from Cape Northwest
(about latitude eighty and a half de-
grees north) to the pole, distance of
five hundred and seventy geographical
miles, in twenty-seven days.
After killing the deer they then trav-
eled south along the east side of Ring
mes Land to the point indicated on the
chart, where they killed another deer
They then went east across the
south part of Crown Prince Gustav
sea to the south end of Heiberg Land
then down through Norwegian bay,
where they secured some bears, but
not until after they had killed some of
their dogs, to the east side of Ora

tie bay marked "Eid's Ford" on Sver-
drup's chart; then southwest to Hell's
Gate and Simmons peninsula.
Here for the fist 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 unsuitable. They spent a good
deal of time in this region, and finally
abandoned their dogs and one sledge.
took to their boat. crossed Hell's Gate
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 1t
was awkward to transport with the
boat, and near here they killed a wal
rus.
The statement in regard to the 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, if 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 during 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 a 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
map, about midway on the south side
of Jones Sound. Here they killed
some musk-oxen and, continuing east,
killed four more at the place 1ndi-
Gated on the chart, and were finally
stopped by the pack ice at the mouth
of Jones Sound From here they
turned back to Cape Sparbo, where
they wintered.
After the sun returned in 1909 they
started, pushing their sledge, across
Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence
along the coast to Clarence Head;
passing inside of two small islands
not shown on the chart, but drawn on
it by the boys), where they killed a
bear; thence across the broad blight
in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence
around Cape Isabella and up to Com
mander Peary's old house in Payer
Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they
found a seal cached for them by Pan
ikpah, I-took-a-shoo's father. From
here they crossed Smith Sound on the
ice, arriving at Anoratok.

PEARY'S CHARGES
CLAIMS DR.. COOK MADE LONG
CIRCLE CLOSE TO POLAR
LAND.
HAS ESKIMO TESTIMONY
Offers Map Showing Course Alleged
to Have Been Traced by
Cooks Travelling
Companion.

New York, N. Y.-The grounds on
which Commander Robert E. Peary
challenges and denies that DR.. f. A.
Cook ever reached the pole have been
made public through copyright state
ment issued by the Peary Arctic club.
The charge is that DR.. Cook travelled
in a circle and never got more than a
few miles from land, that he had
neither food nor sledges sufficient for
1,040 mile trip and that he passed
the winter at Jones sound.
The evidence submitted in support
of those charges are the alleged state
ments of two skimo boys, I-took-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, said to have been DR..
Cooks companions on the journey.
According to the statement signed by
Commander Peary, Bartlett, McMil-
Ian, Borup and Henson, the two boys
were carefully questioned and cross
questioned at Etah. Each traced the
same route on the map and each was
coroborated by the report given of
their original stalwarts to members Of
their families and tribe.

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

countered rough ice and a lead of open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
at a 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 few sup.
plies were taken from the cache, the
boys replied that only a 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 a series of questions to be
put to the boys in regard to this trip
from the land out and back to it.
These questions and answers were
as follows:
Did they cross many open leads OF
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
were able to take but a few things
from the cache.

Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson in Re-
gard to Testimony Of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
The two Eskimo boys, I-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
Journey, and who said that the route
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 Pearys 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.
Dr. Cook, with the others, then pro-
ceeded up F1agler bay, a branch of
Buchanan bay, and crossed Files
mere Land through the valley pass at
the head of Fiagler bay, indicated by
Commander Peary in 1898, and utilized
by Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of
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 point on the west side
of Nansen 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
with DR.. Cook and the two boys,
helped to build the snow igloo, then
returned without sleeping.
