PEARY BACKS UP
THEORY OF LAND
Rear Admiral Wires From Maine
About Croker Land in the
Arctic Regions.

Washington. Aug. 26.-Rear Admiral
Peary reiterates his confidence in the
existence of Croker land and his be
lief that he saw it in July, 1906. The
admirals statement, telegraphed to the
Tribune from his summer place in
Maine, was called forth by the fact
that Ensign Fftzhugh Green. the nav
al officer assigned to the Macmillan
Croker land Arctic expedition, made
no report of whether the expedition
found Croker land, in announcing to
the navy department his safe arrival
at Copenhagen on Aug. 10.
After quoting from his original mar
rative of his expedition the story of
his first view of what ne believed to
be Croker land. Admiral Peary said :
1T may be that Macmillan and
were both misled by the nearly perma-
nent clouds of persistent lanes of wat
er. OF unusual refraction, which Oc-
ours in the Arctic regions, may have
lifted into view land that was in real
ity well below the horizon. and my es-
innate of the distance of Crocker land
may have been too moderate. 1t will
be well to await the completion of
Stefansson's discoveries before dis
Croker land"
