BOAT CUE* IS FOUND; PEARY5' PROOFS MISSING NINE KEENS Men Who Left W recked S te am e r Far- rallon in Row Boat Picked Up by Revenue C u tte r. Seward, A laska, March 12.- A w ire less message here from the U nited S tates revenue c u tte r Tahom a tells of the rescue of the boat crew th a t set out nine weeks ago to seek aid for the survivors of the wrecked steam er F a r allón. The A laska Steam ship com pany’s wooden Bteamer Farallón was wrecked in Iliam na bay on Cooks In let, January 5. Two days late r Second Mate Gus Swanson and five men, three of whom were passengers, se t out in an open boat to row to Kodiak for assistance. The men who w ent w ith M ate Swanson were Seamen Charles P eterson and O tto Nelson and C aptain W edding and En gineer A lbert B ailey, of the launch Seawolf, on th e ir way to Kodiak to join th e ir craft, and Chaires Bourne, a resident of Afognak. F ebruary 2 the survivors who rem ained on the shore near the scene of the wreck were rescued by the steam ship V ictoria. No word was received from the boat crew, which had been m issing nearly a month when the Farallón su r vivors were rescued, and a fte r two steam ers cruised about Kodiak island and w ithout finding them ;hey were given up for lost. As a last re so rt the governm ent was asked to send the revenue c u tte r Taho m a on a cruise around the island. It was thought possible th a t the men m ight have sought sh elter in some in let and be w aitin g the arrival of a steam er to tak e them off.

No d etails concerning the rescue of Mate Swanson and his men have been receiv ed here and efforts to g e t into direct com m unication w ith the Tahom a have been unsuccessful.

ARE QUESTIONABLE Greatest Marches Made After He Le ft Captain Bartlett. Sudden S peed A rouses Suspicion Shackleton and.G reeley Claim that 25 Miles a Day, as Claim ed by Peary, Is F ar Beyond^_Limits of Human E ndurance. W ashington, March 10. By substan tially a unanimous vote today, the sub com m ittee of the house com m ittee on naval uffairs decided against bestowing a substantial rew ard upon Commander R obert E. Peary until he has subm it ted openly proofs th a t he reached the N orth Pole. ^ R epresentative Macon attacked Com m ander P e a ry ’s proofs. Macon told the com m ittee th a t he regarded the sudden acceleration of the speed of the explorer a fte r C aptain B a rtle tt left him as suspicious. Before the captain le ft the party, it had traveled only 9.6 m iles a day. W hen P eary was alone, except for a negro valet and fuur Es kimos, he reported a speed of 26.4 m iles a day for five days. Maeonjquoted L ieutenant Shackleton, G eneral G reely and others, to the effect th a t 10 or 12 m iles a day of traveling over Polar seas was the lim it o f human endurance. “ I confess th a t I am exceedingly skeptical about Mr. P e a ry ’s ever hav ing discovered the P ole,” declared Mr. Macon today before the com m it tee, “ and I am going to protest against any honor being conferred upon him by congress until he has established beyond a reasonable doubt th a t he did discover it. I t m ust be established in the open, and not in the d a rk .” Macon then said th a t he w anted to call a ttention to “ one discrepancy in Mr. P e a ry ’s sto ry .” This was the re cord of m arching reported by the ex plorer. Macon said he regarded the sudden accleeration of speed as " v e ry sin g u lar.” "T h e astonishing p a rt of Mr. P e a ry ’s sta te m e n t,” said Mr. Macon, “ is the num ber of m iles he traveled per day a fte r B a rtle tt left him and when no w hite man was w ith him as a w itness, his only companions being his negro v a le t and four Eskimos. “ H is g re a te s t m arches, singularly, w ere all north of the B a rtle tt camp. From th a t tim e forward, going to the Pole and returning to Cape Columbia, he claim s to have made an average of 26.4 miles per day until he reached the Pole; 44 m iles per dfly on his way back to B a rtle tt’s camp, and 28.2 m iles per day from B a rtle tt’s to Cape Columbia. “ The g re a te s t speed he had made before B a rtle tt le ft him was 9.06 m iles per day, so P eary m ust have fhade nearly th ree tim es as g re a t speed a fte r B a rtle tt le ft him as he did before in order to reach the P ole.” R epresentative E nglebright, of Cal ifornia, did not vote to defer action. He said th a t he was convinced Peary had discovered the Pole and th a t the com m ittee had sufficient proofs before it. DUDLEY PEARL IN AMERICA. RO U TE IN AIR ESTABLISHED.
