PEARY IS READY
TO TRY IT AGAIN
Anxious to Start by July 1 for
North Pole, but Needs
More Money. .
SPENDS HIS OWN FORTUNE
Looking for $25,000 Roosevelt to
Be Changed In Many Ways, No
tably In Her Boilers Profits
by Lessons of Last Trip.
NEW YORK. June 7. (Special.) Can
fldent of his ability to carry the stars
and stripes to the north pole. Commander
Robert E. Peary, who has planted the
American flag nearer the coveted north
ern goal than any other living man, is
In New York making active prepara
tions for another Arctic dash in the hope
of solving the mystery of the North,
which for centuries has been the aim
cf daring explorers. The staunch steamer
Roosevelt, which the Peary Arctic Club
built for Commander Peary, and which
curled htm and his little party on his
last northward journey, has been over
hauled and put in better condition than
ever for her expected battles with the
ice barriers cf the frozen Nortn. The
ship Is tugging at her hawsers in the
harbor of New York, ready to start when
her commander gives the word.
Peary's present plans contemplate his
departure from New York about July 1,
but lack of sufficient funds to finance the
expedition may prevent the start. In
fact, unless $25,000 is forthcoming by
July the project will have to be aban
doned. An auxiliary ship or, collier will
accompany the Roosevelt . as far north
as Etah, where Peary's coal depot in the
last expedition was located. Etah was
the Winter quarters of Dr. Hayes' last
expedition and is located about 70 de
grees north latitude. A small party of
sportsmen and scientists may go North
as far as Etah on the auxiliary ship,
returning with her about September 1.
Used His Personal Fortune.
Commander Peary has devoted nearly
20 years to efforts to solve the great
problems of the North and already has
put into the work all of his personal
means, amounting to $80,000. He has a
greater experience in Arctic work and
n more complete knowledge of details
than any other man living. His work
and objects have the hearty indorsement
of President Roosevelt, who says that
failure properly to equip his expedition
will be "a real misfortune from a Na
tional standpoint." Peary Is hopeful that
the comparatively small sum necessary
to complete the exploration fund may ba
raised in time to permit him to carry
out his plans, and he is now exerting
every energy to secure the remaining
money needed. Peary expects to accom
plish the journey to the pole in 15
months, but will take with him supplies
for a three years' stay.
"One very important result of my last
expedition as bearing upon the success
of the coming one," said Commander
Peary, "is the distinct improbability that
conditions in the comparatively short
distance of 200 miles between my furthest
north point and the pole itself will bd
in any way different from the conditions
encountered by me for the last 100 miles
of my journey. If conditions' are no
worse in the next season than they were
during the last voyage, I shall hope to
accomplish the objects of the expedition
and return in about 15 months in Octo
ber, 1909. I ought, however, to have
supplies and equipment for a stay of
three years.
Change in Boiler Equipment.
"The principal change in the Roosevelt
has been in connection with her boiler
battery. On her last voyage this battery
comprised one Scotch boiler of 500 horse
power and two Almy water tube boilers
of 250 horse power each.v I recognized
that these boilers were in the nature of
an experiment for the kind of work ex
pected, but the great saving in weight,
which meant the ability to carry more
coal, was a strong temptation to give
them a trial. Unfortunately these boil
ers went out of commission the third
day out from Sydney and as a result the
work done by the Roosevelt in her last
voyage was done with one-half her de
signed boiler power. I now have two
new 600 horse power Scotch hollers,
which are likely to remain in commis
sion throughout the entire voyage. The
new boilers are also arranged athwart
ship instead of fore and aft. as In the
previous installation, with the fire-room
forward of the boilers-. This arrange
ment makes the entire main hold a bun
ker ar.d permits feeding coal direct from
the hold to the fire-room. The deck
house forward, forming quarters for the
crew In the previous voyage, has been
removed and the ship has been given a
top gallant fo' castle running back to the
main hatch This arrangement more
than doubles the accommodations for
ward and gives ample space for housing
my Eskimo contingent comfortably. The
Roosevelt has also been given a large
square sail on the foremast with a hoist
ing yard to enable her to better utilize
a stern breeze.
Captain to Select Crew.
"Captain Robert A. Bartlett, of Brigus.
N. F., my sailing master on my last
voyage, will serve again and he will
select his mate, bo'sun and sailors from
among the best of the Newfoundland
sealers. George Wardwell, of Bucks
port, Me., will again accompany the ex
pedition as chief engineer, and his as
sistants and firemen will be Americans
selected after rigid examination physi
cally, morally and with respect to their
ability in their line. The total number
aboard on leaving here will probably be
20 the same as formerly. Charles Percy,
my steward on two previous voyages,
will go again, as will also Mathew Hen
son, my colored" assistant. My surgeon
Is yet to be selected. I shall take aboard
from 20 to 25 of the most effective Eski
mo hunters and dog-drivers, who will
be accompanied by their wives and chil
dren, which will make the Eskimo con
tingent going North from the Whale
Sound region from 40 to 50. I shall re
quire from 200 to 250 dogs.
"At the present time I am constantly
