NEW YORK, Nov. g.-Under a strong
guard, the vOluminous report prepared
by Dr. Frederick A. Cook 20 the uni
versity of Copenhagen, setting forth in
detail the explorers claim to having
reached the North Pole, will be taken
on board of the Scandinavian-Amer
liner United States on Thanksgiving
day and started on its way to Copen-
hagen
Dr. Cock is taking 40 chances Of his
report miscarrying in any way He has
arranged for il 20 be placed under lock
and key in the strong box of the steam
er, where, in the captains room, it viii
rep1se until committee from the Uni
versity of Copenhagen boards the yes
sci and offers proper credentials TO show
that they can be trusted with the docu-
mcnt.
No one on board the United States Will
have a kew to the ships strong box ex-
cept the captain, and he will be held re-
spOnsible for the safe delivery of the re-
port But even this precaution has been
supplemented by Dr. Cook. The explor-
er's secretary. Walter LOnsdale who
accompanied DR.. Cook here from Copen-
hagen, has taken passage on the United
States. 10 make sure that the report
shall De well Sategudrded.
-Four Strong Men.
Tt was reported yesterday that four
strong men have been selected by DR..
Cook to accompany his report to the
steamer. They will remain until they
see the document safely under lock and
key. DR.. Cook viii probably go with
them On board the vessel and give the
captain his final instructions.
The vOluminous report has Just been
completed, and il was learned yesterday
that it consists Of $1,000 words. It is a
general analysis of the explorers data,
entered in his notebooks while in the
Arctic regions. Each point which DR..
Cook has emphasized during his lee
lures in this country has been taken up
/ separately and elaborated on at great
length, IL Is understood. There are also
comments on some of the more impOr-
/ tant Of the entries In his original note
books.
DR. Cook has worked on his report
ever since he sot back from Hamilton.
Mont, several weeks ago. Every day
and sometimes far into the night he
dictated 10 stenOgrapher at a hotel
in the nOrthern part of the city.
The strain, il is said, has told per
Ceptibly on the explorer. The expert
ence with Richard Barrill at Hamilton.
when the latter got up in meeting and
faced DIR. Cook with his denial that he
ha0 accompanied the explorer 10 the top
of Mt. Mckinley, added materially 70
the strain on the explorers nerves. his
friends say.
After the report is safely on its way
TO Copenhagen. DR.. Cook and his wife
will go to some quiet place IN the coun-
try, there TO remain until the Univer-
sity Of Copenhagen makes known its
verdict on the proofs. DR.. Cook ex-
poets his report to reach Copenhagen
on December Z and a verdict by the
university sometime between December
. and January /.
