was casual remark TO a member of
the Peary party that he believed Dr.
Cook had reached the pole.
Pritchard kept the news more faith
fully and his statement of Saturday
was the first intimation that he had
any information on this subject.
Pritchard explained that he kept The
news to himself because he did not
wish 10 he dragged into the trouble.
He asked how he knew. before he
came south on the Roosevelt, that
there was going TO be controversy,
and declared that DR. Cook had eau
toned him not TO speak TO anyone
until he reached civilization.
Pritchard's retlcence with this i'm

surprise to everybody on board the

In the beginning Pritchard told the
correspondent that Cook had talked
freely with him with regard to his
dash over the Ice. indicating 10 him
on a map the route he mad followed.
Later PHtchard modified this by ex-
planning that Cooks story was told
to Whitney and that he (Pritchardl

said DR. Cook had only two Eskimos
with him at the pole. The language
barrier made It impossible for Prltch-
