The balloon was last seen fading
into the polar skyline headed due
north.
That is all there is to the Andree
story.
These are the records of only three
polar expeditions. No one can say
that any of them were futile.
Only by wisely following where
their footsteps led were others able
to surpaSs.
Reference to the immortal record
of Commander Peary, who was the
first to reach the Pole in 1909, may
well be made here. Peary achieved
success, but only after repeated fall
ure. With unsurpassed persistence
and personal bravery he devoted
twenty-three years of his life to the
pursuit of the north. No other ex-
plorer, not even Sir John Franklin,
has such record. nor planned with
snch logged determination to fol-
low his quest year after year, build
ing on the mistakes of the past,
until success was achieved.
Peary Supreme
Even with Amundscn and Byrd
sharing his honors, Peary is still the
first explorer to reach the Pole by
dog-sled this achievement he shares
with no other.
The record of degrees of latitude
attained, creeping up from Parry's
50 degrees in 1927 to the mystic 90
which marks the Pole and which
three expeditions have achieved, tell
the story.
Accomplishment is the effior-
eScence of all that has gone before.
And no one knows better than
Commander Byrd that that which
held us aloft in our flight was not
only the wings of the Fokker and
the Wright engines.

in our course, and guided our safe
