THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1909 EVENING EDITION.
PEARY GIVES
BOS
(Continued from page 1.)
This he did, also without making
any marks and indicated the same
route and the same details as did
the first boy. When he was through,
Panlkah, the father of I-Took-A-Shoo,
a very intelligent man, who
was in the party of Eskimos that
came back with Dr. Cook from the
northern end of Nausen strait, who
is familiar as a hunter with the
Jones Sound region and who has
been In command In Peary's various
expeditions for fifteen years, came
in and Indicated the same locations
and details as the two boys.
The first boy was brought In again
and then with a pencil he traced on
the map their route, -members of,
our party writing upon the chart
where, according to the boys state
ment they had killed deer, bear,
some of their dogs, seal, walrus and
muskoxen. The second boy was
then called in. and the two went over
the chart together, the second boy
suggesting some changes as noted
hereafter.
Finally Panlkpah, the father, was
again called into verify details of the
positions of the route with which he
was personally familiar.
The bulk of the boys testimony
was not taken by Commander Peary
nor lu his presence, a fact that ob
viates any possible claim that they
were awed by him.
Certain questions of Independent
lines from 'the direct narrative of
the Eskimo boys were suggested by
Commander Peary to some of u'
and were put by us to the Eskimo
boys. Still later, Commander Peary
asked the Eskimo boys two or three
casual questions on minor points
that had occurred to him. During
the taking of this testimony It de
veloped that Dr. Cook had told
these boys as he told Mr. Whitney
and Billy Prltchard the cabin boy
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or anyone anything about
their journey and the boy stated
Dr. Cook had tlneatened them If
they should tell anything. The nar
rative of these Eskimos is as fol
lows: They, with Dr. Cook, Francke and
nine other Eskimos left Anoratok,'
crossed Smith Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept In Commander Peary's old
house in Payer Harbor then went
through Rico strait to Buchanan
bay. After a few marches, Francke
and three Eskimos returned to
Anoratok. Dr. Cook with the oth
ers then proceeded up Flagler bay
a branch of Buchanan bay and
crossed Ellesmorelnnd through the
valley pass nt the head of Flagler a
got his gum which he had left there
and a few Items of supplies.
When asked why only a few sup
plies were taken from the cache, the
boys replied that only a small
amount of provisions had been used
in the few days since, they left the
cache and their sledges held all they
could carry so they could not take
more.
After being Informed of the boys'
narrative thus far, Commander
Peary suggested a series of questions
to the boys In regard to this trip
from the land out and back to It.
These questions and answers were as
follows:
Did they cross much open leads or
much open water during this time?
Answer none.
Did they make any caches out on
the ice?
Answer None.
Did they kill any bear or seal
while out on the Ice, while north of
Cape Thomas Hubbard?
Answer No.
With how many sledges did they
start?
Answer Two.
How many dogs did they have?
Answer Did not remember ex
actly, but something under 20.
How many sledges did they have
when they goUback to land?
Answer Two.
Did they have any provisions left
on their sledges, when they came
back to land?
Answer Yes; the. sledges still
had about nil they could carry so
they were able to take but a few
things from the caches.
From here they then went south
west along the north coast of Helb
ergland to a point indicated on the
map Sverdrup's Cape northwest.
From here they went west" across
the Ice which was level and covered
with snow offering good going, to a
low island which they had seen from
the shore of Heibergland at Cape
Northwest. On this Island they
camped for one sleep. The size and
position of this island as drawn by
the- first boy was criticized by the
second boy as being too large and
too far to the west. The second
boy calling the attention of the first
to the fact that the position of the
island was more nearly In lino with
the point where they had left Hei
bergland (Cape Northwest and the
channel between Amundrlngnes land
and Ellefringnes land.
This criticism and connection was
accepted by the first boy who stait
ed to change the position of the
island but was stopped as Com
mander Peary had given instructions
that no more changes or erasures
were to be made In the route as
drawn by the Eskimos on the chart.
From this Island they could see two
two lands beyond Sverdrup's Elle
frlnges and Amundrlngnes lauds.
From the island they journeyed
toward the left hand one of these
lands (Amundrlngnes land) passing
small Island which they did not
bay, indicated by Peary In 1S9S, and
utilized by Sverdrup In 1S99, to the
head of Sverdrup's "Bayfiaed" on
the w;cst side of Ellsmorelnnd. Their
route then lay tlnough this flaord,
thenco north through Sverdrup's
"Heureka Sound" and Nansen
strait.
On their way thoy killed musko
xen and bear and made caches, ar
riving evontually at a point on the
west side of Nanson strnlt (shoio of
Axelhclbergland of Sverdrup) south
or capo 1 nonius iiuubaru. A ca
che was formed hero and the four
Eskimos did not go beyond this
point. Two others, Keolootlngwoh
and Inughlto went on one moro
mnrch with Dr. Cook and the- two
boys, holpel to build tho snow igloo,
then returned without sleeping.
These two Eskimos brought back
a letter from Dr. Cook to Fiancko
dated the 17th of Mnich. The two
men rejoined tho other four men
who had then loft behind and the
plx returned to Anoratok, arriving
May 7th. This Information was ob
tained not from tho two Eskimo
boys, but from tho six men who re
turned and from Francko himself
ana was Known to us in tho sum
mer of 190S when tho Roosevelt ar
rived nt Etnli. The Information is
.inserted hero as supplementary of
tho nnrrntlvo of both boys.
After sleeping at tho camp whoro
the Inst two Eskimos turned back,
Dr. Cook went in a northerly or
northwesterly dlicction with two
sledges and twenty odd dogs, one
more march when thoy oncountored
rough Ico and a lead of open, wntor.
They did not enter this rough Ice
nor cro8,s tho load but turned west
ward or southward and roturnod to
Jlelborglnnd nt n point wost of
where they had loft tho cacho and
whore the four men had turned
back. Hero they remained four or
flvo sloops and during this time
.jiUioq went back to tho cacho and
visit.
Arriving at the slfbre of Amund
rlngnes land the Eskimos killed a
deer as Indicated on the chart. The
above Italicized portion of the sta
tement of tho Eskimo boys covers
the period of time in which Dr.
Cook claims to have gone to tho Pole
and back and tho entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to go to it. The an
swers of the Eskimo boys to Com
mander Peary's seiies of Independ
ent questions showing that they
killed no game, mndo no caches, lost
no dogs and returned to tho land
with loaded sledges makes their at
tainment of tho Polo on the trip
north of Cape Thomas Hubbard, a
physical and methodical Impos
sibility as It would demand tho
subslstanco of thieo men nnd 20
dogs during a Journey of 1,040 seo
giaphlcul miles on letb than two
sledges loads of supplies. If it is
suggested that perhup3 Dr. Cook got
mixed and that ho i cached the Polo
or thought ho did between the time
of leaving the northwest const of
Heibergland at Cape Northwest aud
his arrival nt Rlngnesland, , where
thoy killed tho doer, wo must then
add to the date of Dr. Cook's letter
of March 17th at or near Capo
Thomas Hubbard, tho biibsequent
four or live sloops at that point aud
tho number of days required to
march from Capo Thomas Hubbard
to Capo Northwest, (a distance of
some (10 nautical miles which would
advance his date of departure from
tho land to at least tho 25th of
March and be propured to accept
tho claim that Dr. Cook went from
Capo Northwest about latitude 90 t.
degrees north to tho Polo, a distance
of 570 geographical miles in 27
days.
After Kllllns tho deer they then
traveled south along tho east sldo
of Ringnes land to the point indicat
ed on tho chart where they klUod
another deer. They then went east
across the south part of Crown
Prince Gustav Sea to the south end
of Heibergland, then down through
Norwegian bay, where they secured
some bears but not until after they
had killed some of their dogs; to
the cast side of Graham Island;
then eastward to the little bay mark
ed "Fids Fioard" ' on Sverdrup's
chart; then southwest to Hollsgate
and Simmons Peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entiie Journey except as already not
ed off Cape Thomas Hubbard they
encountered open water. On this
point the boys were clear emphatic
and unshakable. They spent a good
deal of time in this region, and, fin
ally abandoned their dogs and one
sledge, took to their boat, crossed
Sellegato to North Kent, up Into
Norfolk Inlet, then back along the
north coast of Colin Archer Penin
sula to Cape Vera where they ob
tained fresh elder duck eggs. Here
they cut the remaining sledge off,
that Is, shortened it, as it was awk
ward to transport with the boat and
near here they killed a walrus. The
statement in regard to the fresh
elder duck eggs permits the approx
imate determination of the date at
this time ns about the first of July.
This statement also serves, If In
deed, anything moro than tho Inhe
rent straightforwardness and detail
of their narrative were needed, to
substantiate the securacy and truth
fulness of the boys' sta..ement.
This locality of Cape Vera is
mentioned In Sverdrup's
as the place where, during his stay.
In that region he obtained elder
duck eggs. From Cape Vera they
went on down Into the southwest
eagle of Jones Sound where they
killed a seal, thence along the south
coast of the sound, killing three
bears at' the point noted on the map,
to the peninsular known as Cape
Sperbo, about midway on the south
side of Jones Sound. Here they
killed some muskoxen and continu
ing east, Killed four more at the
place Indicated on the chart and
were finally stopped by the pack
ice at the mouth of Jones Sound.
From here they turned back to Cape
Sperbo, -,where they wintered and
killed many muskoxen. After the
sun returned in 1909, they started
pushing their sledge across Jones
Sound to Cape Tennison and then
along the coast to Clarence Head,
(passing Inside of two small Islands,
not shown on the chart, but diawn
on It by the boys), where they kill
ed a bear thence across the broad
bight in the coast to Cadogen
Fioard; thence around Cape Isabella
and up to Commander Peary's old
house In Pajer Harbor near Cape
Sabine, where they found a seal
cached for them by Panlkpah, I-Took-A-Shoo's
father. From here
they crossed Smith Sound on the
Ice, arriving at Anoratok.
