These instructions directed Murphy

that he was TO give DR. Cook every

Cook started for E1ah. He planned

asked Whitney to take charge of the
instruments with which he had made
his observations at the pole Cook left
no written records with Whitney that

Cook had told him whitney to tell
Peary that Cook had gone beyond

Peary made no comment on this,
and Whitney said he was not asked
any other questions by Peary. But the
next day Cooks Eskimos came to
Whitney and asked him what Peary's
men were trying to get them TO say.
Peary's men had shown the Eskimos
pap MS and maps. but the Eskimos de-
clared they did not understand these
papers.
So far as Mr.. Whitney is aware,
Cooks Eskimos never admitted that

Peary that Cook had entrusted to him
