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." ,
