New York, Oct. New York today
gave Peary a welcome such as few re-
turning heroes receive. From the
bridge of the Roosevelt, Peary, his
wife by his side, was the most promi-
nent feature in the sixty mile Hudson
Fulton naval parade from New York
to Newburg. All the way the crowds
on land and water We'd in cheers and
congratulations to the white little ship
whereon a military looking man smil-
ed his answer. Captain Bartlett kept
at work SO necessarily with the whis-
tie cord in answering the salutes that
Engineer Wardell called up from the
engine room that he would not have
steam enough to move the vessel il
he did not stop whistling.
Having proved herself so stout that
no gale or ice floe could turn her
back the Roosevelt broke a steering
gear on the tranquil Hudson, just be-
low West Point. The tiller rope part
ed and the anchor was dropped while
the rope was spliced, causing an
hours delay.
Peary said tonight: I'm deeply ap-
preciative of the reception given the
officers and crew of the Roosevelt
and myself 1t was magnificent
Mrs Peary was also delighted, and
smiled her happiness.
Both departed tonight for Portland.
The explorer declined to talk about
the pole controversy, except to say
that the Peary Arctic Club would
make a public statement next week.
Peary had scarcely headed his three
masted auxiliary schooner up the riy-
er, when the marine demonstration
began. Passing long imposing file
of foreign and American battleships
the north pole flag" kept constnatly
bobbing in answer to the dipping col
ors of the war vessels. Crowds on the
passing excursion boats, which easily
left the Roosevelt astern, cheered and
played patriotic airs. Along the banks
of the Hudson groups who gathered
to witness the marine procession
waved handkerchiefs and fired can
mons as the Roosevelt passed.
When j. Pierpont Morgan, on his
steam yacht, the Corsair, espied the
Roosevelt, in a iiffy the quartermas-
ter began to lower the yacht ensign.
AS the Corsair swept by the Roosevelt
Commodore Morgan barred his head
until the arctic ship passed. Peary
waved his cap in recognition. There
was a sharp contrast between the
trim, lordly yacht, and the bluff ROose-
welt, but both flew the burgee of the
New York Yacht Club.
The Roosevelt this afternoon an
chored at Newberg near the flotilla Of
scout cruisers, submarines and torpe-
do boats The lateness of the hour
did not diminish the noisy greeting
of the vessel and Peary and his party
boarded a tug and put ashore at Fish
kill Landing, where he took train
for New York.
Summed up, the Roosevelts return
trip up the river, instead of being one
of the features of the Hudson-Fulton
naval parade, stood out as demon
stration to Peary, the like of which IS
rarely If ever seen.
