NEW YORK, Sept. ia careful
reading Of Peary's story as published
this morning leads to the conclusion
that he had no white man with him
when he reached the pole, and in this
respect he is no better OF than Cook.
When Peary started from Cape CO.
lumbia there were seven men in the
party. besides Il Eskimos and 13 dogs
The members of the expedition were
Peary. GoodsaH, Macmillan, Borup,
Marvin. Bartlett and Hanson. From
time 10 time. as the explorer proceeded
northward, he sent different members
back. either in command of so called
supporting parties or for other reasons.
Goodsall. Borup and Marvin, at va
rious stages of the overland journey,
were sent back as supporting parties"
Captain Bartlett was allowed to remain
until Peary was in striking distance of
the pole CS146), when he, too, was dis
charged with honor
This left the negro Hansen, who has
been his man Friday" for 20 years. his
sole companion, with the exception of
four Eskimos.
So as regards proof. Peary is not
much better off than Cook.
