PART 111.
Battle Harbor, Labrador, via. Cape
Ray, N. F., Sept. 11. —With the disap
pearance of Bartlett I turned to the
problem before me. This was that i
for which I had worked for 32 years;
for which I had lived the simple life;
for which I had conserved all my en
ergy ou the upward trip; for which I
had trained myself as for a race,
crushing down every worry about suc
cess.
Now, in spite of my years, I felt in
trim fit for the demands of the com
ing days and eager to be on the trail.
As for my party, my equipment, and
my supplies, I was in shape beyond
my most sanguine dreams of earliest
years.
My party might be regarded as an
ideal which had now come to realiza
tion, as loyal and responsive to my
will as the fingers of my right hand;
four of them carried the technique of
dogs, sledges, ice and cold as their
heritage. Two of them, Hansen and
Cottam, were my companions to the
farthest north three years before.
Two others, Eginwah and Sigloo, were
in Clark's division, which had such a
narrow escape at that time, and now
were willing togo anywhere with my
immediate party and willing to risk
themselves again in any supportiug
party.
The fifth was a young man who had
never served before in any expedition,
tut who was, if possible, even more
willing and eager than the others for
the princely gifts, a boat, a rifle, a
shotgun, ammunition, knives, etc.,
which I had promised to each of them
who reached the pole with me; for he
knew that these riches would enable
him to wrest from a stubborn father
the girl whose image filled his hot
young heart.
Blind Confidence in Peary,
All had blind confidence so long as
I was with them, and gave no thought
for the morrow, sure that whatever
happened I should somehow get them
back to land. But 1 dealt with the
party equally; 1 recognized that all its
impetus centered in me, and that
whatever pace I set it would he made
good. If anyone was played out I
would stop for a short time.
I had no fault to find with'the con
ditions. My dogs were the very best,
the pick of 122 with which we left Co
lumbia. Almost all were powerful
males, hard as nails, in good flesh, but
without a superfluous ounce, without a
suspicion of fat anywhere; and, what
was better yet, they were all in good
spirits.
My sledges, now that the repairs
were completed, were in good condi
tion. My supplies were ample for 40
days, and, with the reserve represent
ed by the dogs themselves, could be
made to last 50.
Pacing back and forth in the ice of
the pressure ridge where our igloos
were built, while my men got their
loads ready for the next marches, I
settled on my program.
1 decided that I should strain every
nerve to make five marches of 15
miies each, crowding these marches
in such a way as to bring us to the
end of the fifth march long enough be
fore noon to permit the immediate
taking of an observation for latitude.
Weather and leads permitting, I be
lieved I could do this. If any proposed
distances were cut down by any
chance, I had two means in reserve
for making up the deficit:
First, to make the last march a
forced one, stopping to make tea and
rest the dogs, but not to sleep.
Second, at the end of the fifth
march to make a forced march with
a light sledge, a double team of dogs
and one or two of the party, leaving
the rest in camp.
Chances to Bar Progress.
Underlying all these calculations was
a recognition of the ever present
neighborhood of open leads and im
passable water and the knowledge that
a 24-hour gale would knock all m>
plans into a cocked hat, and even put
ys in imminent peril.
At a little after midnight of April
1, after a few hours of sound sleep,
I hit the trail, leaving the others to
jjreak camp and follow. As 1
«.limbed the pressure ridge hack of
our igloos I set another hole in m>
belt, the third since I started. Every
man and dog of us was lean and flat
bellied as a hoard, and as hard.
It was a line morning. The wind
of the last, two days had subsided and
the going was the best and most equa
ble of all I had had yet. The floes
were large and old, hard and clear,
and were surrounded by pressure
ridges, some of which were almost
stupendous. The biggest of them, how
ever, were easily negotiated, either
through some crevice or up some huge
brink.
I set a good pace for about ten
hours. Twenty-five miles took me
well beyond the SBth parallel. While
I was building my igloos a long lead
formed to the east and southeast of
us at a distance of a few miles.
A few hours' sleep and we were on |
the trail again. As the going was
now practically horizontal we were
unhampered, and could travel as long
as we pleased, and sleep as little as
we wished. The weather was fine and
the going like that of the previous day,
except at the beginning, when pick
axes were required. This and a brief
stop at another lead cut down our
distance. But we had made 20 miles
in ten hours and were half way in the
89th parallel.
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 re
lease from the wind pressure.
Again there was a few hours' sleep
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 Ilecla to
Columbia, and harder.
Ice Breaks as Sledge Passes.
We inarched something more than
ten hours, the dogs being often on the
trot, and made 20 miles. Near the
end of the march we rushed across
a lead 100 yards wide, which buckled
under our sleighs and finally broke
as the last sledge left It.
We stopped in sight of the 89th par
allel, in a temperature of 40 degrees
below. Again a scant sleep, and we
were on our way once more and across
the 89th parallel.
This march duplicated the previous
one as to weather and going. The last
few hours it was on young ice and oc
casionally the dogs were galloping.
We made 25 miles or more, the air,
the sky, and the bitter wind burning
the face till it crackled. It was like
the great interior ice cap of Green
laud. Even the natives complained
of the bitter air. It was as keen as
frost of the 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.
Up to this time, with each succes
sive march, our fear of an impassible
lead had increased. At every inequal
ity of the ice I found myself hurry
ing breathlessly forward, fearing that
it marked a lead, and when I arrived
at the summit would catch my breath
with relief, only to find myself hurry
ing 011 in the same way at the next
one.
But on this march, by some strange
shift of feeling, this fear fell from me
completely. The weather was thick,
but it gave me no uneasiness.
Before I turned in I took an ob
servation, which indicated our posi
tion as 89:25.
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 fields
of ice over which we had been travel
ing for the previous four days.
The going was even better, and
there was scarcely any snow on the
hard, granular, last summer's surface
of the old iloes, dotted with the sap
phire ice of the previous summer's
lakes.
A rise in temperature to 15 below re
duced the friction of the sledges aud
gave the dogs the appearance of hav
ing caught the spirit of the party.
The more sprightly ones, as they
went along with tightly curled tails,
frequently tossed their heads, with
short, sharp barks and yelps.
In 12 hours we made 40 miles.
There was no sign of a lead in the
march.
The Pole at Last.
I 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 dread and goal for
20 years, mine at last. I cannot bring
myself to realize It.
"It all seems so simple and com
monplace. As Bartlett said when
turning back, when speaking of his
being in these exclusive regions,
which no mortal man has ever pene
trated before: 'lt is just like every
day.'"
Of course, I had my sensations that
made sleep impossible for hours, de
spite my utter fatigue—the sensa
tions of a lifetime, but I had no room
for them here.
The first 30 hours at the pole were
spent in taking observations; ingo
ing 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 tele
scope for possible laud, and searching
for a practical place U> make a
sounding. Ten hours after our arri
val the clouds cleared before a light
breeze from our left, and from that
time until our departure in the after
noon of April 7 the weather was
cloudless and flawless. The minimum
temperature during the 30 hours was
33 below, the maximum 12.
Facing the Return.
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 so.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1909.
I had a brief talk with my men.
From now on it was to be a big travel,
little sleep and a hustle every minute.
We would try, I told them, to double
march on the return; that is, to start
aud cover one of our northward
marches, make tea and eat our lunch
eon in the igloos, then cover another
march, eat and sleep a few hours and
repeat this daily.
As a matter for fact, we nearly did
this, covering regularly on our return
journey five outward marches in three
return marches. Just as long as we
could hold the trail we could double
our speed and we need waste no time
in building new igloos. Every day
that we gained on the return lessened
the chanoes of a gale destroying the
track.
Just above 87th parallel was a re
gion some 50 miles wide which caused
me considerable uneasiness. Twelve
hours of strong easterly, westerly oij
northerly wind would make this re
gion an open sea. ,
No Bottom at 1,500 Fathoms.
On the afternoon of the 7th we
started on our return, having double
fed the dogs, repaired the sludges for
the last time and discarded all our
spare clothing to lighten the loads.
Five miles from the pole, a narrow
crack filled with recent ice through
which we were able to work a hole
with a pickake, enabled me to make
a sounding. All my wire, 1,500 fath
oms, was sent down, but there was no
bottom. In pulling up the wire, it
parted a few fathoms from the sur
face and lead and wire went to the
bottom. Off went reel and handle,
lightening the sledges still further.
We had no more use for them now.
Three marches brought us hack to
the igloos where the captain turned
back. The last march was in the wild
sweep of a northerly gale, with drift
ing snow and the ice rocking under
us as we dashed over it. South of
where Marvin had turned back we
came to where his party had built
several igloos while delayed by open
leads.
Still further south we found where
the captain had been held up by an
open lead and obliged to camp. Fort
unately the movement of these leads
was simply open and shut and it took
considerable water motion to fault the
trail seriously.
While the captain, Marvin, and, as
I found out later, Borup, had been de
layed by open leads, we seemed to
bear a patent charm, and at no single
lead were we delayed more than a
couple of hours.
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough to carry us across; sometimes
a short detour, sometimes a brief halt
for the lead to close, sometimes an im
provised ferry on an ice cake, kept
the trail without difficulty down to the
tenth onward march.
Igloos there disappeared completely,
and the entire region was unrecogniz
able. Where on the outward journey
had been narrow cracks there were
now broad leads, some of them over
five miles in width, caught over with
young ice.
Here again fortune favored us, and
no pronounced movement of the ice
having taken place since the captain
passed, we had his trail to follow.
We picked up the old trail again north
of the seventh igloos, followed it be
yond the fifth, and at the big lead lost
it finally.
Devil Asleep, Said Eskimos.
From here we followed the captain's
trail, and on April 23 our sledges
passed up the vertical edge of the gla
cier Fritge, a little west of Cape Co
lumbia. When the last sledge came
up I thought my Eskimos had gone
crazy. They yelled and called and
danced themselves helpless. As
Ootah sat down on his sledge, he re
marked in Eskimo: "The devil is
asleep or having trouble with his
wife, or we never should have come
back so easily."
The rest can be quickly told. Mc-
Millan and Borup had started for
the Greenland coast to deposit caches
for me. Before I arrived, a flying
Eskimo courier from nie overtook
them with instructions that the
caches were no longer needed, and
that they were to concentrate their
energies on tidal observations, etc., at
Cape Morris, Jessup, and north from
there.
These instructions were carried out,
and after their return, in the latter
part of May, McMillan made some
further tidal observations at other
points. The supplies remaining at the
various caches were brought in, and
on July 18 the Roosevelt left her win
ter quarters and was driven out into
the channel pack off Cape Nion. She
fought her way south in the center
of the channel, and passed Cape Sa
bine on August 8, or 39 days earlier
than in 190S, and 32 days earlier than
the British expedition of 1876.
Pick Up Whitney's Party.
A few hours later we arrived at
Crane City, under the bluffs of Cape
Columbia, and after putting four
pounds of pemmican into each of the
faithful dogs to keep them quiet we
had at last our chance to sleep.
Never shall I forget that sleep at
Cape Columbia. It was sleep, sleep,
then turn over and sleep again. We
slept gloriously, with never a thought
of the morrow or of having to walk,
and, too, with no thought that there
was to lie never a night more of blind
ing headaches. Cold water to a parch
ed throat is nothing compared with
sleep to a numbed, fatigued brain and
body.
Two days we spent here in sleep
ing and drying our clothes. Then for
the ship. Our dogs, like ourselves,
had not been hungry when we ar
rived, but simply lifeless with fatigue.
They were different animals now, and
the better ones among them swept on
with tightly-curled tails and uplifted
heads and their hind legs treading
the snow with pistonlike regularity.
Hears of Marvin's Death.
We reached Hecla in one march
and the RoosevHt in another. When
we got to the Roosevelt I was stag
gered by the news of the fatal mis
hap to Marvin. He had either been
less cautious or less fortunate than
the rest of us, and his death empha
sized the risk to which we had all
been subjected, for there was not one
of us but had been in the sledge at
some time during the journey.
The big lead, cheated of its prey
three years before, had at last gained
its human victim.
We picked up Whitney and his
party and the stores at Etah. We
killed 70 odd walrus for my Eskimos,
whom I landed at their homes. We
met the Jeanie off Saunders Island
and took over her coal and cleared
from Cape York on August 26, one
month earlier than in 1906.
On September 5 we arrived at In
dian Harbor, whence the message
"Stars and Stripes nailed to North
Pole" was sent vibrating southward
through the crisp Labrador air.
This was the culmination of long
experience. A thorough knowledge of
the conditions of the problem gained
in the last expedition—this together
with a new type of sledge, which re
duced the work of both dogs and
driver, and a new type of camp cooler,
which added to the comfort and in
creased the hours of sleep of the mem
bers of the party, combined to make
the present expedition an agreeable
improvement upon the last in respect
to the rapidity and effectiveness of its
work and the lessened discomfort and
strain upon the members of the party.
Compliments His Men.
As to personnel, I have again been
particularly fortunate. Capt. Bartlett
is just Bartlett —tireless, sleepless, en
thusiastic, whether on the bridge or in
the crows-nest or at the head of a
sledge in the field.
Dr. Goodsell, the surgeon of the ex
pedition, not only looked after its
health and his own specialty of micro
scopes, but took his full share of the
field work of the expedition as well,
and was always ready for any work.
Prof. Marvin and McMillan have se
cured a mass of scientific hav
ing made all the tidal and most of the
field work, and their services were in
valuable in every way.
Borup not only made the record in
the distance traveled during the jour
ney, but to his assistance and his ex
pert knowledge of photography is due
what I believe to be the unequaled
series of photographs taken by the ex
pedition.
Henson in the field and Percy, a
steward, were the same as ever, inval
uable in their respective lines. Chief
Engineer Warwell, also of the last ex
pedition, aided by his assistant, Scott,
kept the machinery up to a high state
of efficiency, and has given the Roose
velt the power which enabled her to
negotiate apparently impracticable
ice.
Tribute to Mate.
Mr. Gushie, the mate who was In
charge of the Roosevelt during the
absence of Capt. Bartlett and myself,
and Boatswain Murphy, who was put
in charge of the station at Etah for
the relief of Cook, were both trust
worthy and reliable men, and I count
myself fortunate in having had them
in my service.
The members of the crew and the
firemen were a distinct improvement
over those of the last expedition.
Every one of them was willing and
anxious to be of service in every pos
sible way. Connors, who was pro
moted to be boatswain in the absence
of Murphy, proved to be particularly
effective. Barnes, seaman, and Wise
man and Joyce, firemen, not only as
sisted Marvin and McMillan in their
tidal and meteorological observations
on the Roosevelt, but Wiseman and
Barnes went into the field with them
on their trip to Cape Columbia, and
Condon and Cody covered 1,000 miles
hunting and sledging supplies.
Supplies for Eskimos.
As for my faithful Eskimos, I have
left them with ample supplies of dark,
rich walrus meat and blubber for
their winter, with currants, sugar bis
cuits, guns, rifles, ammunition, knives,
hatchets, traps, etc., and for the splen
did four who stood beside me at the
pole, a boat and a tent each to requite
them for their energy and the hard
ship and toil they underwent to help
their friend Peary to the North Pole.
But all of this —the dearly bought
years of experience, the magnificent
strength of the Roosevelt, the splen
did energy and enthusiasm of my
party, the loyal faithfulness of my
Eskimos —could have gone for naught
but for the necessities of war furn
ished so loyally by the members and
friends of the Peary Arctic club. And
it is no detraction from the living to
say that to no single individual has
the fine result been more signally due
than to my friend, the late Morris K.
Jesup, the first president of the club.
Their assistance has enabled me to
tell the last of the great earth stories,
the story the world has been waiting
to hear for 300 years, the story of the
discovery of the North Pole.
