you have read what Dr.. Cooks
equipment was, and you know what
mine was. Remember that he had to
travel PA miles more than l did. He
claims to have gone from Annatok
(about 1880 north latitude) to the
pole at 80, a distance of liz degrees
from the pole, to Jones Sound, rs,
distance of IA degrees, in one single
sledging season That is 25b de-
grees, or more than LOO miles in a
single %sledging season; that is, from
the beginning Of the return Of daylight
to the breaking up of the ice.
Before DR.. Cook no explorer has
ever been able to cover more than IL
degrees of latitude (750 miles) in a
single sledging season, even with a
perfect equipment, sturdy men and a
full complement Of the best of dogs
Peary was asked what was his best
record for a single sledging season.
In former expeditions, considerably
less than 10 degrees (90O miles," he
replied. in my last, not quite II
degrees (975 miles)."
Peary then pointed out what he con-
sidered a great defect in the Cook
equipment-the s%nowshoes.
"The Cook snowshoes," he said.
were not the best for practical pur-
poses, such a mine were. They were
short and round and wide. Those
used ON my expedition were long
they were turned up at the toes SO
they would not catch in the snow, and
they had a long tail in the rear that
aided travelling. Mine were built from
patterns drawn by the makers after
suggestions given by me-"
Il examined that sledge," said the
Commander. II looked it over very
carefully. So did Henson. So did
Mcmillan. They know sledges, |
guess, and SO do l."
Gould you describe it? Was it like
your Morris X. Jesup sledge?"
ut was nodded on lines unlike those
of any sledge l have ever used in Arc
tic work"
WAS it such a sledge as you would
likely use?"
1T was not. l would not trust nv.
self with 1t for any length of journey.
1t would not have travelled one day ON
the ice with a standard load"
do you think Cook could have
gone to the pole with it,"
Absolutely no. Never at any time
while | was in the north did | think
there was a possibility of Cook having
reached the pole, nor did I think so
later"
why did you not ask Whitney
what he knew Of DR.. Cooks trip to
the pole? Why did you not seek his
proof or disproof?"
Hadn't l seen and talked with ey-
cry Eskimo in Eskimo land, and didn't
Henson talk to them? Why, I know
those Eskimos as a father knows his
children. | won't say that they look
upon me as a god, but they do look
on me as a benefactor.

"All during that winter there was

What occurred at the meeting no

every womanly .eXpedient, to cheer

their sympathy and regard. II was
useless-the arrow had gone home
What young Dorsey wanted, above

when it became necessary TO bring in
a party of braves who had left the
