COOK TOLD YOUTH.
One Member Of Peary Party Knew
Story.-Commanded to Keep
Silent.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, by Mar
conf Wireless, via Cape Ray; N. F.,
Sept. 19.-One Of the men on the
steamer Roosevelt at least knew long
ago that DR.. Frederick A. Cook had
claimed to have reached the pole. He
is William Pritchard, cabin boy and
assistant cook on the Roosevelt, who
NFnaaned at Annatook with Boat
swain Murphy to guard the stores.
Pritchard has not spoken to any one
on board Of DR.. Cooks achievement,
but when confronted yesterday, just
prior to the sailing of the Roosevelt
from Battle Harbor. with wireless
message from midocean that DR..
Cook said that Pritchard knew the
whole story Of his dash for the pole,
the youth admitted that he had
learned from DR.. Cook the details Of
the final march and that DR.. Cook
had explained 10 him the route fol-
lowed.
Whether Boatswain Murphy also
was informed Of DR.. Cooks success,
Pritchard did not know, but unques-
tionably Harry Whitney, who was at
the store house when DR.. Cook re-
turned from his dash with the two
Eskimos, is conversant with all the
facts. Whitney did not disclose this
interesting piece of news to Com
mander Peary and Pritchard kept it
from Peary during the entire voy-
age of the Roosevelt to Battle Har-
Dor.
Pritchard said that he was at the
ouSe at Annatook with Whitney and
Cook. while Murphy was at Etah. He
heard DR.. Cook describe 70 the New
Haven sportsman how he went to the
pole and remained there two days.
