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
boyGl.
After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eskimos turned back, Dr.
Cook and the two boys went In a
northerly or northwesterly direction
with two sledges 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 a point west of where they had left
the cache and where the four men had
turned back.
Here they remained four or five
sleeps, and during that time I-took-a.

boys replied that only small amount
of provisions had been used in the
few days since they left the cache,
and that their sledges still had all
they could carry, SO that they could
not take more.
After being informed of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested series of questions to be
put to the boys in regard to this trip
from the land out and back to it.
These questions and answers were
as follows:
Did they cross many opca leads or
much open water during this time?
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the ice? Ans. No.
Did they kill any bear or seal while
out on the ice north of Cape Thomas
Hubbard? Ans. No.
Did they kill or lose any of their
dogs while out on the ice? Ans. No.
With how many sledges did they
start? Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have? Ans
DO not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sledges did they have
when they got back to land? Ans
Two. "
Did they have any provisions left on
their sledges when they came back tic
lard? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had
about all they could carry, so they
were able to take but few things
from the cache.
