Captain of Sud So Impressed With
Tone of Refusal to Talk That

NO INFORMATION GIVEN OUT

BUENoS AIRES, Argentina. February
1I.-Confidence is strong among many
here that the south pole has been dis
found bv DR.. ]. NJ Charcot of Paris.
DIR. Charcot set sail from Punta Arena
fourteen months ago in the Pourauoi Pas,
which had been fitted out in France for
antarctic exploration.
The captain of the steamer Sud, which
arrived a Punta Arenas yesterday. re
ported that ne had spoken the PourQuo
Pas anchored at Port Gallant in the
Strait of Magellan. DR.. Charcot ex-
changed greetings with him, but refused
al his requests for information as to the
results of the expedition.
The tone in which this was done SEEM
cd to have had marked effect upon the
master of the Sud.
Pourquoi Pas Back Quickly.
People at Punta Arenas are now ex-
pectins to see the antarctic steamer back
at their port at any time. The Pourquoi
Pas had a speed of ten knots.
Her long stay on the ocean will have
clustered her keel as to slow her
speed considerably. perhaps But she
cannot be many days behind the Sud. it
is fancied.
What has set up the strong belief here
that the French explorer has discovered
the south pole is that DR.. Charcot is re-
turning much earlier than he had in
tended.
He was fitted out for an expedition of
TWO years duration. When he left Punta

Peary to Devote His Time
to Study of Polar Problems

Commander Robert E. Peary returned
to Washington last night expressing

Arenas he said he was determined L
devote at least two years to his task.
Leads to Belief in Polar Discovery.

Nothing had been heard from DIR. Char
cot and his party since a year ago last
Christmas. The last cable he sent was
dated December -, 1905 when on leav-
ing the Island of Deception he went out
of touch with the rest of humanity.
Letters reached Paris last May They
brought no later news. having been left
at the Island of Deception when the cable
was sent, six months earlier.
1t has often been said that many of
DR.. Charcot's friends in Paris expected
him to be away possibly as long as three
years, and that provisions freely sup
piled him by the Brazilian government
would. with those he took aboard at
Havre. be ample for that period.
All this tends to support the theory
founded on DR.. Charcot's refusal to di-
yulge any news that he has really sue
ceeded in finding the south pole.
Charcot's Second Time in Antarctic.
This is the second time DIR. Jean Char
cot has been to the antarctic region. His
first voyage was in 1890.
The expedition from which he is now
returning was a private one. He gave
out when he started. and the fact has
frequently been emphasized since by Nine.
Charcot at Paris, that the object he had
i'll view this time was not the actual dis
covery of the south pole, but the collec-
ton of scientific data.
He said nc would devote all his ener-
gies to scientific observation, particu-
larry as to Alexandra Land of which
there was reliable knowledge
Moreover, this trip would be much longer
than necessary for a dash to the pole.
He was also anxious to find whether
or not the supposed great antarctic con-
tinent has any real existence. He would
collect fossils. to which DIR. Nordensk iold
mas directed attention
Young Scientists With Him.
DR. Charcot has with him a number

ton; NJ. ROUGH, an expert in meteorology
and oceanography NJ Godefroy. hydro

The Pourquoi Pas is small-s0O tons
but is strong She was specially built
for the expedition and has three hulls.
Her engines are of 500 horsepower anG
when she was clean she made ten knots
easily.
In addition to the usual outfit OF sleighs
DR.. Charcot took with him a motor
sledge or ice automobile. This machine
was a large sledge equipped with pair
of big wide wheels with edges formed to
grip the ice.
Before setting out he tried this novel
invention on the snow-clad sides of the
Hautes-.alpes in Dauphine with three
Englishmen who were members of the
Discovery expedition in 1904.
