bert L. BrIdgman, secretary OF the Peary Arcuc
Club that the whole world is being deceived by
certain pictures printed by The New York Her
ald' in illustration Of Dr. Cooks narrative the ex-
plorer said yesterday:
There is deception whatever The earlier
part OF my story IS illustrated with photographs
which I made in earlier expedition. At that
time / was far better equipped for photography
than on the trip 10 the pole, and / made better
pictures And OF course did not want TO waste
any Photographic material the later trip in tax
ing the same scenes for second time. eA-
plained TO The Herald which pictures were taken
on the earlier journey and which more recently.
and understood that they were TO use both.
'An the pictures, however. in which show the
polar sea- the circumpolar pack and the scenes AT
the Pole itself were taken by myself my expedi-
ton to and from the pole The picture OF an ice
berg with a cavernous formation, taken in Melville
Bay, I took myself when was there with the
Erik the earlier journey. Mr.. Berri. OF The

pictures printed by The Herald in connection
with my narrative were taken either by myself or

Through an nadyertence the line over the
pictures declared them TO have been taken by DR..
Cook on his North Pole trip. which, according 10
The Standard Union created the impression
that they were taken on his latest and successful
journey.
The pictures were taken in 1907 by DIR. Cook. and
were used on Saturday Illustrations Of Arctic
