PEARY IS DELAYED
STEAMER ROOSEVELT DAMAGED
BY ICE AND HoMEwARD JOUR-
NEY WILL BE SLOW.
Members Of Expedition All Well But
Look Thin and Tired, Peary Es-
peciaIly Showing the Effects
Of the Terrible Journey
Northward.

st. John, N. F.-The Roosevelt,
Commander Peary's steamer, was bad.
ly damaged by ice in the north, and
may not get to North Sydney before
September rs. This is the news
brought by Captain Nelson OF the
fishing steamer Taft, which has ar.
rived here from Battle Harbor, Lab
rador. The Roosevelt struck rock
while entering Battle Harbor, and
was fast for six hours, but not SER
iously damaged.
The Taft was in Battle Harbor
when the Roosevelt arrived from In
dian Harbor. The Roosevelt put In
to take on a supply Of coal and also
to give Commander Peary an oppor-
tunity to send details of his far north
ern trip to the United States.
While the Roosevelt was stranded
Captain Nielsen went aboard to Of
fer his assistance and was thanked
by Commander Peary and Captain
Bartlett, who decided that they
would be able to work the steamer
free at high water. Captain Nielsen
says that Commander Peary and Cap
tain Bartlett showed him over the
ship and told him that the pole had
been reached. When Captain Neil
sen asked Peary IL he was certain he
had found the pole the commander de.
clared: 81 got there; you may rest
assured of that"
When the commander of the Taft
asked Peary what he thought Of DR..
Cooks claim, Peary replied that
Cooks Eskimos had assured him that
Cook scarcely went out of sight OF
land.
Nielsen said that the Roosevelt
was badly battered and that her hull
showed the bruises made by jagged
pieces of ice. He was informed that
1t was the intention Of Peary and
Bartlett to run the Roosevelt to As
siz harbor, where she would remain
for ten or twelve days, so that the
men would not be hampered in their
work by stormy weather, and that the
expedition expected to reach Sydney
about September 25.
The crew Of the Roosevelt are all
we'll, but look thin and tired and &C.
cording to Captain Nielsen the most
worn looking member of the expedi-
ton is Commander Peary himself.
Neslien was informed that the Peary
party underwent severe hardships in
the final stages Of the dash to the
pole. The expedition encountered
billiards. and according to Captain
Nielsen was obliged to kill dogs for
food.
Professor Marvin was drowned and
an Eskimo was lost. The party Jour-
neyed over 600 miles on sledges over
fair ice conditions, although at one
time Peary and several of his men
had a narrow escape from being car
ried away by breakup of an Ice foe.
The Roosevelt was moored in lati-
tudc $3.50 during the winter
The rigging of the Roosevelt pre-
scented a curious sight. About forty
musk OK heads and heads of reindeer
were suspended to yard arms. There
are twelve dogs, the last OF nearly
zoo taken poleward.
When the ship reached Battle Har.
bor her bunkers held only five tons
OF coal AT that place she took on
board sixty tons. The crew and eX-
plorers are dressed in semi-Arctic al.
tire. All were very anxious to hear
news of the outside world.
