dence which he says he and his men OBJ
tanned from the Eskimos who accom-
panied Cook on his arctic trip.
Commander Peary seeks to prove DIT.

OF Axel Heiberg Land. at 81 degrees 90
minutes north latitude. Accompanying
mis- statement, Commander Peary fur

a general line with the seventy ninth
parallel and then north. between Arthur

"Farthest North" Commander Peary seeks
to show that Cook turned south again.
and that he spent the winter of 1sOS-1sO9
on the northern shore of North Devon. a
little less than 70 degrees north. returning
northward to his starting place, Anora-
tok. in the spring Of this present year.
This is the latest move in the contro-
versy which was begun on September s.

city. Cooks story should not be taken
too seriously"
