After being informed Of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested a series Of questions to be
put to the boys in regard to this trip
from the land out and back to 1t.
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the ice7 Ans. No.
With how many sIedaes did they
start7 Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have7 Ans.
Did not remember exactly, but some
thing over twenty.
How many sIedees did they have
when they got back to land7 Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their sIedges when they came back to
land? Ans. Yes: the sIedoes still had
about all they could carry, so they
were able to take but few things
from the cache.
From here they went southwest
along the northwest coast Of Heibers
Land to a point indicated on the map
(sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the Ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going, to a
low island which they had seen from
the shore Of Heibers Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
camped for one sleep.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Etlef Ring
mes and Amund Rinsnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
Ieft-hand one Of these two lands
(Amund Hinges Land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore Of Amund
Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed a
deer as indicated on the chart.
The above portion Of the state
ment of the Eskimo boys covers
the period Of time in which DR.. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back. and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to 90 to it.
" it is suggested that perhaps Dr..
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time Of leaving the northwest
coast Of Heiberg Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date Of Or. Cooks let

Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number Of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest "a distance Of some sixty
nautical miles), which would advance
his date Of departure from the land
to at least the 25th Of March, and be
prepared to accept the claim that Dr..
Cook went from Cape Northwest

srees north) to the pole, a distance Of

INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.

Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DIR. Cook from An
oratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when l arrived there in August,
1908. They told me that DIR. Cook had
with him, after they left. two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
ltook-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. l had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement
touched (Nerke. near Cape Chalon) in
August. 1909. and nine days before
reaching Etah. the Eskimos told me,
In general way, where DR.. Cook had
been: that he had wintered in Jones
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been a long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah.
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at Dr. Cooks story. On

kimos there and with the two boys
