NEW YORK, April 14.-Friends
of DR.. F. A. Cook declare he is
Still in South America. Captain
Bradley S. lisbon, of the Arctic
club, staunch supporter of CooS,
gave out the following statement
today:
"Dr. Cook will not be much sur
prised to hear that the Fairbanks

says Captain lisbon. They were
left there four years ago, and
doubtless have been buried under
snow or swept away by Arctic
storms. The report of the Fair
banks party that they found an easy
way to the summit corroborates
DIR. Cooks story of the ascent
feel more positive than ever that
DR.. Cook not only scaled Mount
