“Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 9.—
The steamer Roosevelt, bearing the
North Pole expedition of the Peary
Arctic club, parted company with tae
Erik and steamed out of Etah Foril
late in the afternoon of Aug. 18, 1903,
setting the usual course for Cape Sa
bine. The weather was dirty, with
fresh southerly winds. We had on
board twenty-two Eskimos men, seven-
teen women and ten children, 226 dogs
and some forty-odd walrus.”
Peary tells of the difficulty in forcing
his ship, the Roosevelt, through the
choked channels and floe-covered bays
before he reached the open polar sea,
over which ke was to travel to the goal
by sledge. Once he was forced back.
and twice the Rooseveit grounded. Con.
tinuing, he says:
“Finally, on Sept. 2, we squeezed
around Cape Union and made fast in
a shallow niche in the ice, but after
some hours we made another short
run to Black Cape, and hung on to a
grounded bit of ice. At last, a little
after midnight of Sept. 5, we passed
through extremely heavy running ice
into a stream of open water, roundel
Cape Rawson and passed Cape Sheri
dan, We steamed up to the end of it,
and it appeared practicable at first to
reach Porter bay, near Cape Joseph
Henley. But the outlook being unsat-
isfactory, I went back and put the
Roosevelt into the only opening in the
floe, being barred close to the mouth
of the Sheridan river, a little north of
our position three years prior. The
work of discharging the ship was
commenced at once and rushed to
completion. The supplies and equip
ment we sledged across ice and sea
and deposited on shore. A house and
workshop were built of board, covered
with sails and fitted with stoves, and
the ship was snug for the winter in
shoal water, where she touched bot:
tom at low tide. This settlement on
the stormy shores of the Arctic ocean
was chaistened Hubbardville.
Hunting Parties Sent Out.
“Hunting parties were sent out on
Sept. 10 and a bear was brought in
on the 12th and some deer a day or
two later.”
Peary says many side trips were
made for the purpose of exploring the
land, and frequent trips with supplies
were made to Cape Columbia, from
which Peary intended to depart on his
long run to the pole.
It was Peary's plan to send out ad-
vanee parties to clear the way and es
tablish stations. Captain Bartlett, of
the Roosevelt, was in command of the
first party to get away. This was on
March 1 of the present year. A shor!
time later a second division made its
departure, and an hour after that
Peary followed. Continuing, he says:
“The party now comprised seven
members of the expedition, seventeen
Eskimos, 133 dogs and nineteen
sledges. One Eskimo and seven dogs
had gone to pieces.
“A strong easterly wind, drifting
snow, and temperature In the minus
marked our departure from the camp
at Cape Columbia, which I had chris
tened Crane City. Rough ice in the
first march damaged several sledges
and smashed two beyond repair, the
teams going back to Columbia for oth-
er sledges in reserve there,
“We camped ten miles from Crane
City. The easterly wind and low tem-
perature continued. In the second
march we passed the British record
made by Markham in May, 1876—
82.20—and were stopped by open wa-
ter, which had been formed by the
wind after Bartlett passed. In this
march we negotiated the lead and
reached Bartlett's third camp. Borup
had gone back from here, but missed
his way, owing to the faulting of the
trail by the movement of the ice.
“Marvin came back also for more
fuel and alcohol. The wind continued
forming open water all about us. At
the end of the fourth march we came
upon Bartlett, whe had been stopped
by a wide lake of open water. We re
mained here from March 4 to 11.
“On the 14th we got free of the leads
and came on decent going. While we
were making camp a courier from
Marvin came and informed me he was
on the march in the rear. The tem-
perature was 59° below.
Ice Begins to Move.
“twp leaving this camp the expedi
tion comprised sixteen men, twelve
«vires acd a hundred dogs. The next
march was satisfactory as regards dis-
tence and character of going. In the
«atter part there were pronounced

were crossed, in one of which Borup
and his team took a bath, and we were
finally stopped by an impracticable
lead opening in front of us. At the end
of the tenth march, latitude 85.23,
Borup turned back in command of the
second supporting party.”
Peary here tells of overtaking Cap
tain Bartlett, and he was again pushed
forward with Henderson to do more
pioneer work. Peary and Marvin and
Hansen remained behind for twenty
hours. The policy now pursued was
for Bartlett's crew to break the way
and camp. When the Peary force came
up the Bartlett camp was occupied by
the newcomers, while Bartlett and
Henderson made another advance. Tre
condition of the ice was improving
right along, and every day good dis
tances were made. At one time Bart
lett made twenty miles in a day.
Marvin Drowned.
Then began the breaking of former
records. Ome observation gave 86.38,
and Peary knew that he had beaten
Nansen and Abruzzi. Not an accident
had marred the expedition up to this
point. Things were rapidly shaping
themselves for the great dash, ani
here poor Marvin was turned back.
He was to return to Cape Columbia,
but he never reached it. He fell into
open water and was drowned.
More Eskimos were senf with Mar:
vin on the return trip, and Peary then
found himself with nine men, seven
sledges and sixty dogs. Changes in the
atmospheric conditions were noted, A
haze enveloped the wonderful fields of
glistening ice, and it was impossible
to see any distance.
Great banks of snow obstructed the
trail and the ice became very rough.
In the midst of this heart-breakinz
work Peary came up with the Bartlett
party, all the men exhausted.
Snow houses were built and a camp
made. During the night there was a
swift breaking up of the ice, and wh'n
the men were aroused it was fount
that the camp was on the edge of open
water. One dog team narrowly escaped
being crushed between the great cakes
of ice.
Preparations were made for a quick
start, and at a favorable opportuni.y
the whole expedition pushed across
some thin ice. All the following day
the men were on an ice field, which
heaved and groaned, while from the
open water a black fog arose.
Pushing onward, Peary came upon
old ice, which was solid and which
enabled him to make an advance of
six miles without any trouble. Ther:
wag a high wind, but it did not ham
per the party.
Henderson was sent back, and now,
as the 88th parallel was nearing, Peary
determined to drop Captain Bartlett.
who had shown so much courage acl
had done more than any other of the
supporting party to make the expedi
tion a success. Captain Bartlett want.
ed to go ahead, but Peary told him
there were no supplies for a large
party. Peary says Captain Bartlett
was very solemn, and possibly found
comfort in Peary’s declaration that,
next to an American, a British sub-
ject had succeeded in getting farthest
north.
Peary was now left with his faith.
ful Matt Hensen, five Eskimos, four
sledges and enough dogs to make dou-
ble teams for the sledges. Peary savs
that he was now within reach of tie
prize for which he had worked thirty-
two years. The outfit was ideal; the
sledges were of the best; the dozs
in fine condition; the food supply am-
ple for the small force.
Some Fast Travelling.
Continuing his story, Peary says:
“At a little after midnight of April
1, after a few hours of sound sleep, I
hit the trail, leaving the others to
break up camp ang follow. As I climb.

igloos I set another hole in my belt.

and dog of us was lean and flat-bellied
as a board, and as hard.
“] get a good pace for about ten
hours. Twenty-five miles took me well
yond the 8Sth parallel.
“A few hours’ sleep and we were on
the trail again. As the going was now
practically horizontal, we were unham-
pered and could travel as long as we
pleased and sleep as little as we
wished. We had made twenty miles
in ten hours and were half way to the
80th parallel.
Ice Grinding Audibly.
“The ice was grinding audibly In
every direction, but no motion was
visible. Evidently it was settling back
into equilibrium and probably sagging
due northward with its release from
the wind pressure.
“Again there was a few hours’ stop.
and we hit the trail before midnight.
The weather and going were even bet
ter. The surface, except as interrupt-
ed by infrequent ridges, was as level
as the glacial fringe from Hecla to
Columbia and harder.
“We marched something over ten
hours, the dogs being often on the trot.
and made twenty miles. Near the en
of the march we rushed across a lea!
100 yards wide, which buckled under
pur sledges and finaly broke as the
last sledge left it.
“We stopped in sight of the 89th
parallel, in a temperature of 40 de-
grees below. Again a scant sleep and
we were on our way once more and

ed of the bitter air. It was as keen as
frozen steel.
“A little longer sleep than the pre-
vious ones had to be taken here, as
we were all in need of it. Then on
again.
“Before I turned in I took an obser-
vation which indicated our position as
$9.25. A dense, lifeless pall hung over
head. The horizon was black and the
ice beneath was a ghastly, chalky
white, with no relief—a striking con-
trast to the glimmering, sunlit flelds of
it over which we had been travelling
for the previous four days.
“A rise in temperature to 15 below

gave the dogs the appearance of hav-
ing caught the spirits of the party.
The more sprightly ones, as they went
along with tightly curled tails, fre-
quently tossed their heads with short,
sharp barks and yelps.
“In twelve hours we made forty
miles. There was no sign of a lead in
the march.
The Pole at Last!
*! had now made my five marches
and was in time for a hasty noon ob-
servation through a temporary break
in the clouds, which indicated our po
sition as 89.57. I quote an entry from
my journal some hours later:
““The pole at last! The prize of
three centuries, my dream and goal
for twenty years, mine at last! I can-
not bring myself to realize it! °
“+t all seems so simple and com-
monplace. As Bartlett sald when turn-
ing back, when speaking of his beinz
in these exclusive regions which no
mortal had ever penetrated before:
“qt is just like every day!’
“Of course 1 had many sensations
that made sleep impossible for hours.
despite my utter fatigue—the sensa-
tions of a lifetime; but I have no room
for them here.
“The first thirty hours at the pole
were spent in taking observations; in
going some ten miles beyond our camp
and some eight miles to the right of
it; in taking photographs, planting my
flags, depositing my records, studying
the horizon with my telescope for pos-
sible land, and searching for a prac
ticable place to make a sounding.
“Ten hours after our arrival the
clouds cleared before a light breeze
from our left, and from that time un-
til our departure in the afternoon of
April 7 the weather was cloudless and
flawless. The minimum temperature
during the thirty hours was 33 below,
the maximum 12.
The Return Journey.
“We had reached the goal, but the
return was still before us. It was es-
sential that we reach land before the
next spring tide, and we must strain
every nerve to do this.”
The party travelled several hours,
slept an hour or two, ate and went
ahead. This they did day and night.
Peary did not make any oeean sound-
ing until he returned to tHe 87th par-
allel. He dropped a line 9000 feet anl
found no bottom. Then the line snap-
ped. A few marches brought Peary
to the spot where he had dropped Ca;-
tain Bartlett, and, with the exception
of a few stretches of open water an!
one storm, the return was simple.
When Cape Columbia was reached,
when the sledges were pulled up on
land, the Eskimos danced with joy.
Plenty of food was given the dogs and
everybody took a long sleep. Continu-
ing his narrative, Peary says:
“We reached Hecla in one march
and the Roosevelt in another. When
we got to the Roosevelt I was stag-
gered by the news of the fatal mis-
hap to Marvin. He had been either
less cautious or less fortunate than tie
rest of us, and his death emphasized
the risk to which we had all been
subjected, for there was not one of us
but had been in the sledge at som:
time during the journey.
“The big lead, cheated of its prey
three years before, had at last gained
fts human victim.”
With the task over, Peary lost lit-
tle time in boarding the Rooseveli
and starting home. He landed the Es
kimos at their homes and cleared for
Cape York. On Sept. 5 he arrived ua!
Indian Harbor, whence the messag~.
“Stars and Stripes nailed to North
Pole,” was sent.

Speaking to a correspondent before
sailing, Dr. Cook said: “I am perfec!

should ask for such a comparison
