4 formal reply to some Of the most
/ material Of the charges brought against
him BY Commander Peary. A more
complete declaration viii be issued By
the explorer when. Peary makes bis &C
cusatlons over his own signature. The
statement Is as follows:
Commander Peary says that my
sledges were not fitted to Arctic travel
and that he would not care to voyage
in the Arctic with them. The only
sIedge Commander Peary saw was hall
| one, which had given to Mr.. Whit
ney as a souvenir. The remainder Of
! 1t had been used, to make bows and ar
rows.
"As to my reasons for leaving my
instruments with Mr.. Whitney. he had
told me that the Eric was coming to
Etah and would take him over to the
American side to hunt big game and
would come back later to NAnnatok
The distance from Annatok TO uperna'
vik BY the route which was com.
PEELED to follow was nearly 700 miles.
In that journey l had to travel over
high land In two places, with glacier
and difficult places to negotiate. The
ice was extremely rough and there was
a good deal of water to be expected
that would have subject the instru-
ments to a risk which was entirely UNI
necessary when Mr.. Whitney awaited a
ship to 90 to Etah for him upon which
he expected to return direct to Amer
lea,
"By going to Upernavik, hoped to
get back by the end Of July or the mid
die Of August. l wanted to see my
family as soon as possible, as | had
been separated from them for over
two years, while Mr.. Whitney did not
expect to get home before October.
"As to the charge that had not
found traces Of Commander Peary's
records at Cape Thomas Hubbard; the
point which Commander Peary would
can Cape Thomas Hubbard lisa round
promontory, and II would be difficult
to find any distinct point which could
be positively recognized IS CAPE

the time the final details are tailed.
Miles Of territory have been laid
waste and crops have been practically
ruined,
New Orleans is still sadly crippled
