that there has happened about what

sons both there and in Seattle who said
they knew he had never been to the top

What your attitude in this affair is 1 can

depend chiefly upon what YOU cannot have

maux's account of where Cook had been
and what he had done. Their testimony
would of course, be competent There
are two things | know about Esquimau
character-they seldom lie and they never
keep secret. You must. therefore. have
heard the truth at Etah, for though they
cannot of course, determine latitude.
they can tell pretty accurately how far.
and in what direction they were from

Cooks story, as told by Gretly

probable-too long a journey for the
time and means at his disposal-and
until I near that the Etah people
