| 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.
Did they cross many open leads OF
much open water during this time
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out or
the ice? Ans. No.
With how many sIed9es did they
start? Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have? Ans
Did not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sIedges did they have
when they got back to land? Ans
| Two.
Did they have any provisions left or
their sIedges when they came back tc
land? Ans. Yes; the siedges still hac
we're able to take but few things
| from the cache.
! From here they went southwest
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.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring
mes ard Amund Rhymes lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
Ieft-hand one OF these two lands
| (Amund Hinges land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving al the shore Of Amund
| Rinqnes 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 Or. 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.
II II 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 Or. Cooks let

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 "a distance Of some SKY

his date OF departure from the land
TO at least the 25.h Of March, and be
prepared 10 accept the claim that "

it developed that Dr. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
| and Billy Pritchard the cabin boy,
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of us anything about
their journey, and the boys stated DR..
Cook had threatened them If they
should tell anything.
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 Peary's 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 Flagler bay, branch Of
Buchanan bay, and crossed Files
mere Land through the valley pass at
the head of Flagler 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 hansen
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
lnughito, went on one more march
with DR.. Cook and the two BOYS,
helped to build the snow igloo, then
returned without sleeping.
(These two Eskimos brought back
letter from DR.. Cook to Francke,
dated the seventeenth of March. The
two men rejoined the otner 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
mentary to the narrative of the two
boys.)
After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eshimos turned back, Or.
Cook and the two boys went in a
northerly or northwesterly direction
with two sIedges and twenty-odd dogs,
one or more march, when they en-.
countered rough ice and lead OF open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward a short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
