the clever matron to whom We all

So last year just about this time the

The invitations were issued on
brown wrapping paper sealed with red
wax and the time was Saturday after
noon at three sharp" The guests
were told to wear tramping costumes
and each man to bring q bright. new
penny. OF course. all this excited
curiosity. There were just eight cou-
pies and the hostess saw that each
couple was congenially mated. It was
a lovely suburban place with winding
streets. hills and dales: just the place
for this parry. ~
The men compared watches and
the hostess explained that they were
to walk for one hour. all making the
start together. but at the very flrst
corner each man was to toss his pen
NJ to decide the direction he and his
partner were to take. Heads" meant
to 60 to the right. tails" to the left.
At every corner. the penny was to de-
eide the direction. Instructions were
given to write a three-minute descrip-
ton of the walk. The first couple to
arrive at the expiration of the hour
was to have q reward, and every min
ute overtime was to be paid for In
pennies at the rate of one a minute.

A half hour late would bar from
competition in the prize stories. 1t
was q very jolly, hungry party that
arrived and very amusing stories re-
suited which were read or related by
the 'tramps" around the table when a
most bountiful supper was served.
The hostess used small tables, seat
ing four persons at each, and the day
being warm. the repast was served on
the porch. which was made a perfect

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 Il.
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 siedses did they
start? Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have? Ans.
Did not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many siedses did they have
when they got back to land7 Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their siedges when they came back to
land? Ans. Yes; the siedges still had
about all they could carry, % they
were able to take but few things
from the cache.
From here they went southwest
along the northwest coast Of heiberg
Land to q 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 .
low island which they had seen from
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 EIIef Ring
mes and Amund Rinsnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
ieft.hand one of these two lands
(Amund Rinses land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore Of Amund
Ringnes. Land, the Eskimos killed .
deer as indicated on the chart.

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 90 to Il.

Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between

coast Of Heiberg Land at Cape North.

where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date Of Or. Cooks let.
ter Of March 18th, at or near Cape
Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest "a distance Of some sixty
nautical miles), which would advance
his date Of departure from the land
to at least the 25th Of March, and be
prepared to accept the claim that Dr..
Cook went from Cape Northwest

It 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 II 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 q
few marches Francke and three Eski-
mos returned to Anoratok.
DR.. Cook. with the others, then pro-
ceeded up Flagler bay, a branch Of
Buchanan bay, and crossed Elles-
mere Land through the valley pass at
the head of Flagler bay. indicated by
Commander Peary in 1888. 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 Nansen 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 60 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
a 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 z.
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, Or.
Cook and the two boys went in a
northerIy or northwesterIy direction
with two sIedses and twenty-odd dogs,
one or more march, when they en-
countered rough ice and lead Of open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward a short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
at point west Of where they had left
the cache and where the four men had
turned back.
