information;
Il find that l have a good opportunity
to try for the pole and therefore. / win stay
here for a year. I hope to get to the
explorers club in September, 1908, with the
record Of the pole. / plan to cross Files
more And and reach the polar sea by Nan

pole and 1 will stay to try II. By way OF
Buchanan bay and Ellesmore land and
northward through Nansen strait over the

Dash for Pole in winter.
Or. Frederick A. Cook, accompanied by
a Norwegian, left Btah. Greenland, March
3, 1908, taking with him eight Eskimos, four
sledges and twelve dog teams. He was
to make his way through Ellsmereland
DR.. Cook lives in Brooklyn.
For years DR.. Cook has given his atten-
ton to Arctic explorations, and in 1912
was surgeon Of the Peary Arctic expedi-
ton, and in 1873 surgeon of the Belgian
Arctic expedition. He has received numer-
Gus decorations from the geographical So
cieties Of Europe for his research and
writings in the polar field.
DR.. Cook started on his present expedi-
ton in the summer of 1907 sailing from
North Sydney, c. B., on the schooner John
r. Bradley, with Captain Moses Bradley
as sailing master.
The party was reinforced with sledges,
dogs and Arctic equipment ut Etah, Green
land, whence they sailed March 3, '0S.
DR.. Cooks plan was to set aside all tradi-
ton by making the dash to the pole during
the winter months, when the elements are
considered least advantageous for an ad-
vance northward, Nothing has been heard
from DR., Cook for the last eighteen months.
Thousand Miles from Pole.
1t was DR.. Cooks plan to make his base
of supplies or permanent camp at Anna
toak. in Greenland, about twenty miles
north OF Etah. This would place him about
1000 miles from the pole, He first made
his way westward out of the cache and
across to Ellsmereland. The Arctic club
calculates that he reached this position in
the spring of 1903. The last news received
from him was dated March II, 1908, when
he was near Cape Thomas Hubbard.
He then reported that his health was ex-
c%ellent, that he had picked up a large
party Of Eskimo OF superior intelligence,
and that his prospects for success were
bright. He intended to push on to the
northern point of Grantland, and from
there started his. dash to the pole in the
winter of 1908. He expected 10 return to
his quarters at Annatoak not later han
next month. ~t..s ltr 3D. .r
DR., Cook was born at Calicoon Depot
Sullivan county New York, in 1865. He
was married in Brooklyn in 1908 to Miss
Mary Hunt His wife has shared the be
lief Of the Arctic club that her husband
has achieved the goal of the north pole.
