D|NED WITH THE KING
After CIsOe investigation Had
Been Made Of Cooks Story.

Every Member Of the Royal Family
Piled Or. Cook With Questions, Which
the Explorer Answered Always
Without Hesitation-To Avoid Pos
sible Loss of His Papers Or. Cook
Shipped Sections Of Them From
Greenland by Different Vessels.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn,
n. Y, dined Sunday evening with King
Frederick at the summer palace a
few miles outside of Copenhagen. The
king summoned DR.. Cook to an audi
ence Saturday as a formal courtesy.
They engaged In an hours talk and
while these royal audiences cannot,
according to etiquette, be minutely
described by the members of the court,
DR.. Cook made such an impression on
the king that his majesty Immediately
instructed the court chamberlain to
summon the explorer to dine with him
Sunday night.
The king invited DR.. Cook to meet
him Saturday only after having the
government make the closest possible
investigation into the merits OF his
story. Only the Danish explorers
were asked to give their opinions OF
DR.. Cooks claims, before the audience
was granted, and their verdict was
unanimously in his favor.
Thedinner Sunday night was entirely
the result of the kings personal opin-
ion regarding the explorer, who had
the seat on the kings right, an honor
which Danes cannot remember having
been accorded another private per-
son, and members of the royal family
listened to his every word when he
recounted the dangers and privations
which the polar journey entailed.
Arctic Experts Believe His Story.
One of the nest exacting periods OF
the day was an interview with Profess
sor Stromberg, the leading Scandin-
avian astronomer, who says that when
he is permitted to examine DR.. Cooks
observations he can decide within half
a day whether the explorer has been
at the pole. Several other expert
Arctic explorers were busy in an eye
to-eve conversation with DR.. Cook.
When they came out they appeared
thoroughly convinced of his absolute
good faith.
To obviate the possible loss by ship
wreck of his papers DR.. Cook shipped
sections Of them from Greenland by
different vessels, and is arranging to
have them sent from Denmark in a
similar way.
