skagen. Denmark, Sept. s.--A
newspaper correspondent who went
aboard the steamer Hans Egede,
which passed here at o'clock this
afternoon, was able to obtain few
words from DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
The explorer ascribed his success to
the fact that he made use of the old
methods, namely Eskimos and uogs,
and that he lived liked like an Es-
kimo himself.
The doctor gave vivid sketch Of
his expedition in which he said:
Going northward l struck the first
westerly course from Greenland and
then moved northward. l arrived at
the north pole April 21. 1908, as al
ready announced, accompanied by two
Eskimos. We reached the pole at z
O'Clock in the morning. l took daily
observations for q whole fortnight be-
fore arriving at the pole. Returning we
were forced to take a more westerly
route and the first ten days / took
daily and recorded them.
l was unable to measure the depth of
the sea as l had not the necessary
instruments. The lowest temperature
recorded was SO degrees centigrade
below zero"
Eighty-three centigrade below is
equal to lit degrees below zero Fab
