North Pole Was Reached.


North Pole Was Reached.
Copenhagen, Oct. 1.-THE Greenland
administrations steamer Godthaab. on
which DR.. Cook Travelled from Upernavik
to Egesmlnde where ne boarded the
steamer Hans Egede. has returned here.
Her captain. Schoubye, says that Knud
Rasmussen, who went to interview the
two Eskimos. VINO, DR.. Cook claims. ac-
companied him to the pole. did not see
them. lie did not succeed IN reaching
Anatok because the season was too ad-
vanced. However. he met at North Star
Bay. north OF Cape York, Eskimos who
had conversed with DR.. Cooks Esldmos
and their statements agreed with Dr.
Cooks. They believe that Cook and his
Eskimos reached the pole.
Capt Schoubye adds thai when the
Eskimos at North Star Bay saw his
ship. they were terrified. believing that
Pearv was on board. They hid pro-
visions and other property. They fear
Peary. Rasmussen will return soon on
board the Hans Egeded. but it is i'm
probable that he has further informa-
ton.
The North Star Bay Eskimos said the
day before he arrived at the pole, Cook,
after making observations and calcu-
lations, fell on the necks Of his com
panions, and laughed and cried. saying:
