Fpeaklng to the representatives of the press, Dr. Cook said he left at (he North Pole an American flag and a box containing documents, Includ ing a brief account of the trip and oliHorvntlonB and the data to bear out his claim, and that he brought back the most exact observations, Hisolutely provlnp his statement. The explorer also said he kept a diary throughout bin entire expedi tion, In whl. h he recorded the most minute details. Dr. Cook stated In part: "Concerning the .ce around the Pole, It was slighily more active there than at one or two degrees south. Its general character was not very different from that at other places. We stayed around the Pole for two days making many observa tions. I don't claim to have put my linger on the exact spot; I do not claim to have put my foot on It, but personally I think we have been at the spot. When the observations have boon figured out again, it is possible that there will be found slight errors and differences, but I am certain that a gunshot fired from where we were would have passed over the Pole." Prepared to Face Scrutiny. "I am quite prepared to place my observations before any geographical society in the world. I have already received telegrams from the geo graphical societies of Sweden, Nor way, Denmark, Belgium and other countries, which congratulate me. "As to the temperature at the Pole, it was minus 38. I took about 400 photographs, one of which shows the American flag flying. "The dally distance covered on the northward trip was slightly less than 15 miles; on the southward trip it was 10 miles. Last Animals at 83 Degrees. "We lived entirely on dried meat and beef tallow, reducing the food problem to a science. The last trace of animals we saw was a bear track at 83 degrees. Afterwards we did not even see anything in the water except algae." , llrlrf M I ;iii I jibruil'T Cml Announce uerei After l.lfe lime of i:nnii. New Vtrk, K.pt. 8.
