Only One Eskimo for Final Dash.
Temperature Was 32 Below Zero.
Failed to Find Bottom of Sea at
1,500 Fathoms.
Bnttlo Harber, Labrador, Sept. 14.
Tho Associated Press tug Thomas
DoiiRlns arrived hero. Commander
renry'a steamer ItooBovolt will leave
Dattlo Harbor on Thursday or Friday
for North Sydney, from whore sho
will proceed to Now York in Unio, If
possible, to tako part In tho HudBon
Fulton colobratton.
Cnptaln Unrtlett Is oxtromely anx
ious to weigh anchor and return to
civilization, but as thoro Ib danger of
encountering storms so prevalent In
this season on tho treacherous Uibra
dor coast, every precaution will bo
takon to put tho Roosevelt In as sea
worthy a condition as possible Un
der tho best of circumstances tho
etonmer is bound to mnko a slow run
to Sydney, probably not more thnn flvo
knots an hour. Commander Peary
also is anxious lest Dr. Conk should
roach Now York flrnt, although ho
adds thnt tho Brooklyn explorer's at
tempts to lnduco scientists to bellovo
bis story will be futile.
It has been learned from members
of tho Peary expedition on boaru tho
Iloosovolt, that tho commander and
ono Eskimo, Eglng Wnh, by name,
wero tho only men to reach tho polo.
Tho temperature was 32 degrees bo
low zoro (fnhronheit). Tho polo ap
peared as a frozen sea. Poary tried to
tako a sounding, but got no bottom at
1.GU0 fathoms.
8IDE3 WITH DR. COOK
Admiral Deprecates Peary's Attitude
Toward Rival Explorer.
New York, Sept. 14. With Dr. Cook
homoward bound, Commander Peary
In touch with tho correspondents, two
Btroams of conflicting afllrmatlon aro
now centorod on n city already boiling
ovor. Comment and criticism luck
nothing of their provious ncldlty nnd
rather gain than lose Jn volume.
Dr. Cook's adhoreutn are standing
firm, producing ovorythlng at hand to
Commaudor Peary's discredit, while
tho Peary backers, encouraged by his
ropcated denunciation of Dr. Cook, ac
claim tho commander as tho only dis
coverer of tho polo and defy Cook to
establish his right to tho achievement.
Doth from Qermauy and from France
thero enmo recommendations for do
cidlng tho famous quarrel by scientists.
Previous assumption that Command
er Peary would havo tho United
StateH navy solidly behind him was
not bora out In a letter from Rear Ad
miral Schley (retired), mado public
by Captain 11. S. Osbon, secretary of
tho Arctic Club of Amorlcn, of which
Dr. Cook is a member. Tho letter,, un
der of Sept. 11, from Pocono Manor,
Pn., nniB in part as follows:
"I llko Cook's attitude immensely la
this unfortunato, unwise controversy.
Ho has certainly been dignified nnd
manly in tho stand ho has taken In
this mnttor."
Cnptaln Osbon followed up his let
ter from tho admiral with a lecturo on
"Who Discovered tho North Polo?"
"Dr. Frederick A. Cook," ho said,
'wns for two years my wife's physi
cian. I saw him two or threo times
n weok and wo chatted many hours.
If 1 have ovor known a man of Integ
rity, probity, slncorlty and modesty,
it is Dr. Cook. I havo known also
the othor follow, known him to desert
.from tho truth by large margins,"
Dr. Cook's attltu'2 la withholding
dctallB ot his djbeovery was attributed
to his doslrc not to anticipate tho pub
lication of lils book. "Hut as soon as
tho othor claimant got within reach
of tho wlroloss," said tho captain, "ho
Bonr dispatches to evorybody ho could
think of, but delayed Informing tho
mothor of tho unfortunate Marv,in,
who perished during tho expedition."
Cook on Way to New York.
On Board Stoamor Oscar 11., Sept.
13. -By Wireless via Christlansand.
Dr. Froderick A. Cook, whose arrival
at Christlansand was greeted by a sa
lute of soven guns from tho fort, by
tho special order of King Haakon, and
-who was the object of the greatest en
thusiasm during his bref stop thero
wns given a notable farewoll when tho
Oscnr II. Bteamed out of tho port.
The Oscnr II. sailed down tho fjord
accompanied by a scoro of excursion
etoamors with bands playing tho na
tional airs until the open sea wns
reached. At lunch Dr. Cook Joined
freoly In tho conversation of tho pas
sengors, nmong whom was Benjamb
F. Truoblood, president of tho Amor
lean Peace society. Tho explorer was
compelled to relate further .incidents
of his polnr trip. Ho told of a report
that was current among the Eskimos
last year that a dirigible balloon had
Ballad over Greenland and It was
thought that Walter Wellman bad
mado a stnrt for tho polo. The Eskl
mos, he said, described a cigar shaped
balloon with comparative accuracy,
but as nothing further has since been
cscorutlned nbout It, It was to be'pre
Bumel that the Eskimos lad been mis
takon. Dr. Cook hold a reception,
which was attended by n'l the pas
Sfngers.

To strengthen further tho domi

both heavily Interested In the Harrl

without a president, as Mr. Harrlman
