clared is voluminous document
containing some 100000 words. Mr..
Lonsdale sad that the documents are
in complete form and ready for the
scientific scrutiny. The report and
the records were under lock and key
N the strong room of the steamer.

expects that the Copenhagen univer-
sity authorities will make public
their opinion of the records by the
first of the new year
There have been rumors in circu-
lntion that the Cook records are not

that they were sent on another
steamer, because of an alleged plot
hatched by Cooks enemies to secure
and destroy them. No credence is
placed IN this report.
