cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and If he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when 1t was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. / was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading Of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem

surprised, for bought only a dollar

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 1t.
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time?
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the ice? Ans. No.
With how many sledses did they
start? Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have? Ans.
Did not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sledges did they have
when they got back to land? Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their sledges when they came back to
land? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had
about all they could carry, so they
were able to take but a few things
from the cache.
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
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 ElIef Ring
mes and 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 at the shore of Amund
Ringnes 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 II.
u It 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 Rhymes Land
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date Of DR.. Cooks let

or five sleeps at that point, and the
number Of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest Ia distance OF some sixty
nautical miIes), which would advances
his date Of departure from the land
to at least the 25th Of March, and DC
prepared to accept the claim that Or
Cook went from Cape Northwest

grees north) to the pole, distance Of

five hundred and seventy geographical
miles, in twenty-seven days.
After killing the deer they then trav-
eled south along the east side of Ring
mes Land to the point indicated on the
chart, where they killed another deer.
They then went east across the
south part of Crown Prince Gustav
sea to the south end of Heiberg Land,
then down through Norwegian bay,
where they secured some bears. but
not until after they had killed some OF
their dogs, to the east side of era
ham Island; then eastward to the lit
tie bay marked "Eid's Fiord" on Sver-
drup's chart; then southwest to Hell's
Gate and Simmons peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entire journey, except as already
noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard,
they encountered open water. On this
point the boys were clear, emphatic,
and unsuitable. They spent good
deal of time in this region, and finally
abandoned their dogs and one sledge,
took to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate
to North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet,
then back along the north coast Of
| Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera,
where they obtained fresh elder duck
eggs. Here they cut the remaining
sledge off, that Is shortened it, as it
was awkward to transport with the
boat, and near here they killed a wal
rus.
From Cape Vera they went ON down
into the southwest angle of Jones
| Sound, where they killed seal;
thence east along the south coast OF
the sound, killing three bears at the
point noted on the map, to the PENN.
sula known as Cape Sparbo on the
map, about midway on the south side
of Jones Sound Here they killed
some musk-oxen and, continuing east,
killed four moro at the place indi-
| Gated on the chart, and were finally
stopped by the pack ice at the mouth
of Jones Sound. From here they
turned back to Cape Sparbo, where
they wintered and killed many musk
oxen.
After the sun returned in 1909 they
/
started, pushing their sledge. across
Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence
along the coast to Clarence Head:
| (passing inside of two small islands
not shown on the chart, but drawn on
| it by the boys), where they killed a
bear; thence across the broad blight
in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence
around Cape Isabella and up to Com
mander Peary's old house in Payer
Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they
found seal cached for them by Pan
ikpah, I-took-a-shoo's father. From
here they crossed Smith Sound on the
ice, arriving at Anoratok.

1t 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 F'lagler 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 Nansen
strait
| On their way they killed musk oxen
and bear. and made caches, arriving
eventually at point on the west side
of hansen 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
Inughito, 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 other four men
who had been left behind, and the six
returned to Anoratok, arriving May 7.
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 Eskimos turned back, DR.
Cook and the two boys went In 8
northerIy or northwestsrly direction
with two sIedges and twenty-odd dogs
one or more march, when they en-
countered rough Ice and a lead of oper
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turnes
westward or southwestward shor
distance and returned to Heiberg Lans
at point west Of where they had lief
tho cache and where the four men hai
turned back.
