(By Frederick A. Cook, written aboard

, NEW YORK, Sept 21. After one of
the most delightful trips across the
Atlantic, I am glad to see the shore
of my native land once more. I wish
to say I've come from the North Pole,'
and brought the story of my trip and
the data with me. The public already
has the tangible and specific records
of my trip. In a short time I will
complete the narrative, and then all
my observations will be published and
placed before the world for examina
tion. It should be easily understood why
I can't on the impulse of the moment
read off the manuscript covering my
work of the last two years.
All charges, accusations and expres
sions of disbelief regarding my success
In reaching the pole is based entirely
n the ignorance of suppllmentary
data which I possess.
Criticism too, has been based by en
vious persons on the errors of re
production in." my first dispatch. I
have come home prepared to enter an
argument with either one or 50 men.
At present I am here with a clear
record over which I have the right to
display with certain pride. This will
be my last word In this discussion,
the verdict of the judges alone, can
satisfy the people as to the truth of
my statements. In addition to my
data, I will bring human witnesses.
Rcnches Quarantine Early.
QUARANTINE, N. Y., Sept. 21.
Steamer Oscar II, bearing Cook, ar
rived at 4:20 this morning. Even at
that hour Cook was on deck, surround
ed by passengers. He refused to dis
cuss the Peary controversy. He stated
he had original notes, and Harry Whit
ney carries the duplicate.
Speaking of Whitney he said: "He
Is a noble gentleman and can be
trusted. When the time comes he can
be relied upon to speak the truth."
Cook made it plain that the New
York paper claiming the report of his
dash to the Pole couldn't give details
of his, final dash, as he claims he has
reserved for bis own book, which he
has already written while spending
eight months in the north on his re
turn. .
In speaking of Peary, Cook said: "I
deplore this controversy with Com
mander Peary. I feel nothing more
can be said on the subject. I shall let
the public decide whether I reached
the pole."
Dr. Cook was reunited with his wife
and children the first time In two
years.' The steamer "Grand Republic"
crowded with 2,000, received Cook and
his family aboard, and plowed its way
In to Brooklyn, where 20,000 fellow
townsmen of Cook greeted him.
