Former Attempts.

Some of the most recent or note
worthy attempts to reach the North
Pole are enumerated below:
Walter Wellman. an American, left
the Island of Spitzbergen for the pole
in a balloon, August Is, 1909. His
airship became disabled after he had
Travelled 80 miles and he was forced
to return.
In 1906, Commander Robert E.
Peary, U. S. n, reached 81 degrees
six minutes, equivalent to about 2O3
miles from the pole. Commander
Peary is now in the polar regions
on another expedition. A relief ship
was sent out a month ago to endeavor
to pick him. up. He started from
Sydney, N. S., July II, 1908.
On September 8, Captain Roald
Amundson, Norwegian. completed
the first voyage through the north
west passage. He left Christiania on
the Gjoa June II, 1908, and arrived
at Herschele island in the Arctic
ocean in September of 1905.
In 1904, Baron Toll, Russian, led
a polar expedition party by way of
Siberia but all the members perished
from the cold.
In 1903, Erickson. Dane, headed
an expedition and got as far as Saun-
ders island, where they were rescued
in a destitute condition.
In the same year Anthony Fiala,
Ia young Brooklyn explorer, sailed on
the ship America and proceeded fur
ther north than the Duke of the
Abruzzi. His party endured great
hardships before they were rescued.
The Duke of the Abruzzi made his
expedition in 1900.
In 1895 DIR. Nansen reached Sc de-
grees. IA minutes on the vessel Fran,
which left Ingor Strait, August 4,
1893.
Prof Andree made his fatal balloon
trip in 1897. He left Tromsoe, Nor
way, in his balloon, the Eagle, bound
for the pole. Since his departure
nothing authentic has been heard of
Prof. Andree.
In 1883 Captain De Longs expedi-
ton in the Jeanette was lost near
Henrietta island.
In 1882 the Greeley expedition
reached SO degrees, "a minutes. At
a meeting of the Explorers club OF
New York in October. 1907. a letter

Greely's Com ment.

Conway Centre, N. H., Sept. g.
"The most extraordinary feat in polar
exploration" was the appraisement of
DR.. Cooks exploit by Gen. Adolphus
w. Greedy, the commander of the Lady
Franklin Bay international polar ex-
pedition. from the United States in
1884, when informed last night of the
cablegram announcing the Brooklyn
mans success. Gen. Greely said:
CDR. Cooks achievement reported
by the colonial office of the Danish
government, must be viewed as the
most extraordinary feat in polar ex-
ploration. He was practically with
out what had previously been consid-
cred to have been an indispensable
equipment for extensive polar travel.
He could have performed his work
only by extraordinary endurance, aid
ed by fortuitous conditions in the Arc
tic ocean.
"The attainment of the north geo.
graphical pole by an American is an
accomplishment that merits the high
est possible Acknowledgement and
consideration by the American people.
AS one who once beat the record, l
offer my heartiest congratulations"
Gen. Greely's party reached point
S3.24.00 degrees from the pole, thus
proceeding farther toward that much
sought-for point than had previously
been attained. That expedition was
a trying one for those concerned. Be-
fore they reached this country again
their numbers had leen reduced by
death to seven. At Cape Sabine the
survivors were rescued by relief
expedition under Commodore, now
Rear Admiral w. S. Schley, retired,
president of the Arctic club.

tics Room for Doubt.

London, Sept 2-After reading a
brief summary of DIR. Frederick A.
Cooks account of his dash to the
North Pole, Lieutenant Ernest H.
shackleton. who recently led an ex-
pedition to the South Pole regions,
said that nobody had any right to be
skeptical. There was nothing in the
explorers statement but what was
perfectly possible after he got within
two hundred miles of the pole, and
after reaching the pole and after get
ting back to solid land, there was
nothing to prevent DR.. Cook living
with the Eskimos until this year.
Consequently" the lieutenant contin-
ued. II do not think the time it took
him to return is against his state
ment. The question is, what distance
was he actually from the pole when
he started with his Eskimos? He
must have gone twelve miles a day
to cover the distance given in thirty
five days. ID otter expedition has
been able to do anything near this.
In the north one or two miles a day
is considered good progress, but Cook
must have Travelled over absolutely
smooth ice. which is condition that
is unique.
DR.. Cooks personal announcement
that he reached the north pole has
done much to dispel the uncertainty
created here by the first dispatches,
but the information ia still too vague
entirely to convince the hardened
skeptics. The personality of the
American explorer is held in such
esteem in British scientific circles that
those best qualified to Judge are read
lest to explain away the seemingly
obscure points in the meagre story of
the exploit thus far available. The
general sentiment is summed up in
the Evening Standard which, after a
lengthy review of the pros and cons,
says:
There is nothing improbable in the
explorers statement. 1t will be a
source of much satisfaction if the
north pole has at last been reached.
At the same time it is permissible
to feel a profound sympathy for Com
mander Peary, the Odysseus of Arctic
exploration, the man of many trials
and struggles, who was SO little satis-
fled with having reached point near
er the pole than any other man, that
he spoke of his achievement as an
empty bauble compared to the splen-
did Jewell have been striving for that
splendid jewel which has fallen to the
possession of a rival.'
