AD'L PEARY SENDS
TALKING MACHINE
TO HIS ESQU|MAUx

New York. July 2s.-Admiral Robert
e. Peary, discoverer Of the North
Pole, in fulfillment of the wishes of
Ootah. one of the four Esquimaux
who accompanied him to the Pole in
1909. has shipped to Ootah, and other
members of. the tribe of Cape York
Esquimaux, the northermost of all
the inhabitants of the globe, a phona-
graph and records. They are secure
ly packed in the hold of the MacMf-
Ian relief ship. George B. Cluett, which
has just cleared from Sydney, Nova
Scotia, for the Arctic.
Admiral Peary, recently learned
through a newspaper clipping that,
when the Whitney Rainey hunting
party was at Itah. North Greenland,
Ootah. who heard their phonagraph
on the sealer Boethic, commanded by
Captain Robert A. Bartlett of Peary's
North Pole expedition, was profound
~ impressed by it and requested
Bartlett to ask Peary to send him a
talking machine"
Ootah was one of the most stalwart
Of Peary's Esquimaux and a great
favorite of his. and so the admiral
gladly complied with the request and
sent to Ootah and his tribe a number
or choice records, hoping that they
will have marked influence on his
music-loving race and add much 70
their enjoyment during the six months
long winter nights.
among the records are "America,"
