needed. He says: THE supplies for
the expedition were abundant in guam
tity, but not numerous in variety.
Yes-s of experience had given me
the knowledge of exactly what
wanted and how much of it. The abb
solutely essential supplies for Sc
rious expedition are few in number,
but they should be of the best quat-
ity''
Apropos of the controversy regard
ing the value of the testimony of the
Eskimos, who affirmed to Peary that
Dr.. Cook did not go out of sight OF
land, Peary answers the charges that
they probably lied to him by showing
just how he has gained their conf
dence: Writing of his arrival among
them Peary says:
"Since 1891 l have been living and
working with these people, gaining
their absolute confidence, making
them my debtors for things which
have given them, earning their graft
tude by saving, time after time, the
lives of their wives and children by
supplying them with food when they
were on the verge of starvation.
Also since 1891 / have been training
them in my methods; or, to put it an
other way, have been teaching them
how to modify their wonderful ice
technic and endurance, so as to
make them useful for my purposes.
| have studied their individual char
tools with which he expects to accom-
plish results, until | know just which

Swerving ones would, If necessary
walk straight through hell for the OBJ
ject | had placed before them. Il
know every man, woman and child in
the tribe, from Cape York to Etah,
and there are between 220 and 230 OF
them now. The Eskimos are not
brutes. They are just as human as
white people. They know that I ann
their friend, and they have proved
themselves mine
While Peary does not refer to the
gumdrop episode of Dr. Cook, there
is a lingering suspicion that he had it
in mind when he tells what he paid
for their services. This was not in
confectionery, but in more material
wealth. He concludes: There was
no question of their Willingness to
follow me; they were only too glad
to go. These men knew from past ex-
perience that, once enrolled as mem.
bers of my expedition, there was no
danger that their wives or children
would suffer from hunger; and they
knew also that at the end of the
journey, when l brought them back
to their homes, should turn over to
them the remaining supplies and
equipment of the expedition, which
would insure their living for an
other year in absolute plenty, and
that they would thus be multi-million-
aires in comparison with the other
members of their tribe"
