and other instruments. We merely
made the nautical observations that a
captain would have made aboard a
ship.
OWN you describe in detail any
single observation taken by you at the
north pole, with the exact figures of the
results and the corrections applied?
A-Not at this present time. We will
describe every one of them in detail
when they go to the University of Co
penhagen. They will go there within
two months. The entire records will be
delivered to the university, and after
that they will go to everybody that
wants to examine them.
Q-In your original narrative as pub
lished in the New York Herald you
said: 1.-THE night of April was made
notable by the swinging of the sun at
midnight over the northern ice. Our
observation on April placed the camp
In latitude 1886, longitude 94.2" The
astronomers say that in the latitude
you mentioned the midnight sun would
have been visible on April l, and that if
April you must have been 770 miles
from the pole, instead of 234, as you
supposed. Therefore to have reached
the pole on April 21 you would have
had to travel 80 miles daily. What is
your explanation of the apparent dis
crepancy?
Indicates Position
Ain the first place that indicates the
point 1 have taken; that nobody can
pronounce judgement on a matter of
this kind until they get the complete
records. The north horizon at mid
night had been so obscure that we
could not tell whether the sun was
below or above it. We were not max
ing observations at midnight. There

fact that we have said that 1t was pos
sible to see the sun on midnight Of
that day. I have not looked through
the Herald's story as 1t has been writ
ten out in full. My impression is that
we were absolutely unable to see the
sun the midnight before that. The
horizon was obscured.
Q-Why was it necessary to entrust
your records to Mr.. Whitney under a
pledge of secrecy?
Al don't know that there is any
thing gurther to say about that; ask
Mr.. Whitney. 1 do not think l am
bound to divulge to Mr.. Peary the news
of our work. 1 am perfectly willing to
give it to the world, and have given it
to the world.
DR.. Cooks first full day on his home
shores brought to him the first un-
pleasant taste of fame. Visitors began
to arrive at daybreak. They came on
all sorts of errands with all sort of
urgent messages calculated to get an
interview. There was regiment of
publishers agents. They got only as
far as DR.. Cooks secretary. Some of
the more insistent visitors were escorted
from the hotel by house detectives.
Among the various proposals that the
horde of callers had were offers of free
accommodations in the royal suites Of
other hotels; men with cigars they
wanted DIR. Cook to approve; pro-
moters with schemes to make DR.. Cook
rich and themselves comfortable at
the same time Offers of entertain
ment, private and public, arrived by
the score.
1t was announced tonight that Thurs
day, September 80, has been selected
as the date of the banquet of the

rBv Associated Press ]

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 22.-Details
were brought by the steamer Aorangi,
which arrived tonight from Australia,
of the capsizing of the American mis-
sionary yacht Hiram Bingham, at ia
luit in the Marshall group, the death
of Rev. T. Walkup from exposure, and
the terrible experiences of the cast
aways, who were three weeks in an
open boat without food.
The survivors were rescued by the
steamer Germania, and landed at sgd
ney August 26.
The Hiram Bingham, motor schoon-
er from Boston. was bound from Bu-
tailari with Mr. Walkup, eight Caro-
line islanders and a native child on
board. The schooner was lost on the
morning of May 4, seventy miles north
of the Gilbert islands.
The wind had died away and Mr..
Walkup went below to start the auXil-
larry engine, when a tropical squall
came suddenly and keeled the vessel
over on her beam.
Mr.. Walkup rushed up, and with the
crew, made frantic but unavailing ef-
forts to right the vessel, which, with
a heavy list, refused to answer her
helm and capsized.
A moment eIWdIu u6du CldIlI pre-
vailed. The ships company, precipi-
tated into the ocean, clung to the rig
ging of the vessel lying on her side
and full of water.
Dive Under Wreck
Several natives tried to dive under
the wreck and release the boat lashed
in the daVits and after a while
succeeded. Ultimately a couple of oars
were recovered and all hands clam
bered into the boat, abandoning the
Hiram Bingham.
For twenty-one days the castaways
drifted at the mercy Of wind and wave.
Before leaving the wreck, fifteen cocoa
nuts were picked up, this being all
the food for nine adults and child for
three weeks.
Rain squalls prevailed and the mis-
sionary caught rain in his oil skins
and served rations in cocoanut shells.
All hands became exhausted after row.
ing for four days and sail was i'm
provised with sheeting.
The privations soon bore effect. The
castaways became i'll and some were
raving mad. Sharks were seen in num-
bers following the boat. On May 26,
land was sighted and the islanders as
sisted the exhausted castaways to land
on Edon island in the Marshall group.
Mr.. Walkup died soon after landing
and was buried on the beach. His
wife and family returned to America
just before the fatal voyage began.
