Sergt McGarrys estimate of the

The prisoner began discourse that
took up the history of tramp life from

any possible claim that they WERE
awed by him.
Certain questions on Independent
lines from the direct narrative of thu
Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
During the taking Of this testimony.
it developed that DR.. Cook had told
these boys. as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy.

Peary or any of us anything about

DR.. Cook had threatened them if they
should tell anything.

Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of Sver-
drup's bay Fiord" on the west side
of Ellesmere Land. !
Their route then lay out through this
ford, thence north through Sverdrup'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 Axe, Hell !

Thomas Hubbard.
A cache was formed here and the
four Eskimos did not 60 beyond this
point. Two others, Koolootingwah and
