wilkes, to this day, though his
discoveries have been corroborated
by such noted explorers as Sir Ernest
Shackleton and others, has received
Scant popular acknowledgment Amer
leans hardly, realize what great
work he really did. Since recorded
history only three continents have
been Observation-Disclosures, Australia
and the Antarctic continent, and
Wilkes is the discoverer of the last.
Though, like Columbus. he did not
see the whole of the land he had
found, he saw enough to make him
realize that continental land mass
lay about the south pole long before
about the north pole had been deter
mined. When the indignities which
he suffered as result of his fabrica-
tion of the story of discovery were
atoned for, geographers rightly called
the continent Wilkes Land. 1t is the
only continent discovered by Ameri-
cans.

big leads. robbed him OF the pole and
nearly of his life.
The last Peary expedition. 1908
1909, resulted in the discovery of the
pole and of the deep ocean surround
ing It, The 396 miles from Greely's
farthest had been vanquished, as fol-
lows: 1900, 80 miles; 1902, % miles;
1906, 169 miles; 1909. 174 miles.
'yThus Robert Z. Peary crowned a
life devoted to the exploration of the
icy north and to the advancement OF
science by the hard-won discovery OF
the north pole. The prize of four CEN
turtles of striving yielded at last to
the most persistent and scientific at
tack ever waged against 1T. Peary's s
success was made possible by long
experience. which gave him thor
ough knowledge of the difficulties to
be overcome. and by an unusual COM
bination of mental and physical power
"a resourcefulness which enabled
him to find way to surmount all OBJ
stacles, a tenacity and courage which
knew no defeat, and physical en-
dowment such as nature gives to few

extension of Greenland and conclu-
sively proved that it Is an island in
stead Of continent extending to the
pole. In boldness of conception and
brilliancy OF results these two cross
ings of Greenland are unsurpassed in
arctic history. The magniture of
Peary's feat is better appreciated
when 1t is recalled that Nansens his
torlc crossing of the island was be-
low the Arctic circle, 1000 miles
south Of Peary's latitude, where
Greenland is some $50 miles wide.
Broke Virgin Trail.
"Peary now turned his attention to

distance northward. Markham and

than 100 miles, Perry had pioneered

His experience in Greenland had
convinced Peary, il possible more
of surmounting this last and most
formidable barrier was to adopt the
manner Of life, the food, the snow
houses and the clothing of the Eskt-
mos, who by centuries of experience
had learned the most effective method

northland, the arctic reindeer, musk

compelling him to make his base ap-

from the pole to be overcome in one

period, by sledging feats which in dis

Story of Peary.
"Peary's interest was very early in
his life aroused in polar exploration.
During a brief summer excursion to
Greenland in 1886, while he was a
civil engineer in the United states
Navy. he realized that the goal which
bilious and dauntless men could be
won only by new method of attack.
"The first arctic problem with
which Peary grappled was consldered
at that time in Importance second
only to the conquest of the pole,
namely, to determine the insularity
of Greenland and the extent of its
projection northward. At the very
beginning of his first expedition to
Greenland, in 1891. he suffered an
accident which sorely taxed his
patience as well as his body. and
which is mentioned here as 1t Illus

moral and physical makeup.

the spokes jammed Peary's leg

both bones of the leg were broken.
The party urged him to return to
the United States for the winter and
resume his exploration the. follow

being landed as originally planned
at Mccormick bay. stating that the

must make good to them. The
assiduous nursing of Mrs. Peary
aided by the bracing air. so speedily
restored his strength that at the en-
