much OF Peary and knew of Peary's
plans. He was also on the Erik in the
summer Of 1907, when he lay for a
week in Sydney alongside the schooner
John R. Bradley. in which Or. Cook
was starting for the pole. the Erik
that year going to Hudson Bay for the
Canadian government
Whitten says that the Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cooks expe-
dition, having supplies for at least
three years He confirms the charge
made by DR. Cook at Copenhagen that
Peary took Cooks provisions. adding
that not only did the crew of the ship
take Cooks stores that were at Etah,
but that boats were sent to Annatook,
thirty miles distant. to remove Cooks
provisions. which were stored there
The boatswain also made the state
ment that both Cooks and Francke's
collections of ivory and skins, some Of
them very valuable. likewise were
taken.
He said that the trouble with Pearys
previous expeditions had been the lack
of supplies. Instead Of remaining away
for three years the commander was
compelled to return after about fif-
teen months. the real reason, Whitten
declared. being that he did not have
enough supplies to remain longer.

Under the best Of circumstances.
the steamer is bound to make slow
