Officers of Ship Not Able to Find
 Anyone Like Her.

New York, Nov. 30-If Ethel Leneve, Dr. Crippen's erstwhile companion, is on board the steamer Majestic which anchored off Quarantine for the nieht. she has better disguise than when she came to Canada in boys clothes aboard the Montrose. Her name does not appear on the passenger list, and no one like her. the officers of the ship said tonight, had been recognized.
 It was reported in cable despatches from London that Miss Leneve had taken passage second class under the name of Miss Allen" and would em- bark at Southampton, but the proph- ecy proved wrong. Then there came word that another mysterious second class passenger had been taken on at Queenstown, where few second- class passengers embark. She does not seem to be Miss Leneve, however.
 The Majestic will dock tomorrow morning. She carries the bodies of two seamen of the United States na- wy, Woidlich and Fitzsimmons, one ot whom was drowned in Cherbourg and the other stabbed in row at Havre.

 "Did I get to the North pole? Per hays I made a mistake in thinking that I did Perhaps l did not make mistake. After mature thought l confess that l do not know absolutely whether l reached the pole or not.

 Cook tells the story of his life and pictures what he calls the overpOwer- ing ambition for exploration that be- set him until it finally eliminated in his effort to reach the Pole. He de- clares that. at the time. he convinced himself that he had discovered the pole. He was half mad. He spent two years in his quest and during that time endured hunger and privation that be says would unbalance any mind.
 Hard to Prove Beyond Question.
 The narrator states that it would be atrzte beyond question that he had Been to the North pole. He charac- terizes the region as a res jon of in- sanity. where one cannot believe the evidences gathered by one's own eyes.

, the shrewdest newspaper men and | that large sums were offered for a clue | to his whereabouts, he never wore a ! disguise and had never taken any un- usual precaution to conceal his iden- l tity. Part of the time, he says, his wife has been with him and part of the time his children.
 Dr. Cook and his wife are now in Europe and the children are in a con vent in France Most of the time during his exile pr. Cook has been in London. He says that he has gone about among Americans there with the utmost freedom and at times has reg istered under his own name and that only few have guessed his identity.
 Those who did guess Dr. Cooks iden- tity, he says, were turned away with ease by the remark: ''Why, yes, I have been told that before"
 Longing for His Own Country.
 With the opportunities for thought that his exile has given him-Dr. Cook says he never even had time to sleep more than three or four hours be- tween his arrival at Copenhagen and his disappearance in New York-he had found growing stronger and stronger the desire to return to his own country, to be understood by his own people.

 With this realization Dr. Cook wrote his story and says that to him the honor of discovering the north pole no longer means anything.
 His alleged desire now. is to make the people of the United States realize just what he went through during his two and a half years in the Arctic fastnesses and to make them see what processes of thinking-or lack of thinking-it was that led him to do the thing which confirmed to the aver age mind the worse suspiciouns against him.
