After sleeping at the camp where the last two Eskimos turned back, Dr. Cook and the two boys went in a northerly or .northwesterly direction with two sledges and twenty-oddogs, one or more march, when they encountered rough Ice and a lead of open water. They did not enter this rough ice, nor cross the lead, but turned westward or southwestward a short distance and returned to Helberg Land at a point west of where they had left the cache and where the four men had turned back. Here they remained four or five sleeps, and during that time went back to the cache and got his gun, which be 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 that .their sledges still had all they could carry, so that they could not take more. After being Informed of the boys' narrative thus far, Commander Peary suggested a series of questions to be put 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 many open leads or much open water during this time? Ans. None. Did they make any caches out on the ice? Ans. No. Did tbej kill any bear or seal while out on the Ice north of Cape Thomas Hubbard? Ans. No. Did they kill or lose any of their dogs while out on the Ice? Ans. No. With how many sledges did they start? Ans. Two. How many dogs did they have? Ans. Do not remember exactly, but something ovej twenty. How many sledges did they have when they got back to land?

Sail Lak City TESTIMONY A Crowded 8teamer, A friend was com twining the - i a letter from Dr. Cook to Francke, dated the seventeenth of March. The two men rejoined the other four men who had beenlaft behind, and the six returned to Anoratok, arriving May 7. This information was obtained not from the two Eskimo boys, but from the six men who returned and from Francke himself, and was known to us in the summer of 1908, when the Roosevelt first arrived at Etah, The Information Is Inserted here as supplementary to the narrative of the two OF THE ESKIMOS other along the northwest coast of Helberg Land to a point Indicated on the map (Sverdrup's Cape Northwest). From here they went west across the Ice, which wan level and covered ith snow, offering good going, to a low island which they had seen from the shore of Helberg Land 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 criticised 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 line with the point where they had left Helberg Lartd (Cape Northwest) and the channel between Amund Rlngnes Land and EUef Rlngnes Land. From tbis Island they could see two lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Rlngnes and Amund Rlngnes Lands). From the Island they Journeyed toward the one of these two lands (Amund Rlngnes Land), passing a small island which tbev did not visit Arriving at the shore of Amund Rlngnes Land, the Eskimos killed a deer as indicated on the chart The above portion of 'the statement of the Eskimo boys covers the period of time in which Dr. Cook claims .to have gone to the pole and back, and the entire time during which he could possibly have made any attempts to go to It If it is juggested that perhaps Dr. Cook got mixed and that ha reached the pole, or thought he did, between the time of leaving tha northwest coast of Helberg Land at Cape Northwest .and his arrival at Rlngnes Land, where they killed the deer, we must then add to the date of Dr. Cook's letter of March 17, at or near Cape Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four or five sleeps at that point snd the number of days required to march from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cap Northwest (a distance of some sixty nautical miles), which would advance his date of departure from tha land to at least the 25th of March, and be prepared to accept the claim that Dr. Cook went from Cape Northwest (about latitude eighty and a half degrees north) to the pole, a distance of five hundred and seventy geographical miles. In twenty-seve- n days. After killing the deer they then traveled south along the east side ot Rlngnes Land to the point indicated on the chart where they killed another deer. They then went east across the scuth part of Crown Prince Gustav sea to the south end of Helberg Land, then down through Norwegian bay, where they secured some bears, but not until after they bad killed some of their dogs, to the east side of Graham Island; then eastward to tha lit- left-han- d aay to Captain Barber, port captain Long and Carefully Prepared Stateof the state pilots, about the crowded ment Given to tha Public Amounts condition of the steamboat on which to Direct Questioning of Dr. Cook's lie recently made a trip.

Here they cut the remaining eledge off, that is shortened It, as it was awkward to transport. with the boat, and near here they killed a walrus. The statement In regard to the fresh elder duck eggs permits the approxl mate determination of the date at this time as about the first of July. (This statement also serves, if Indeed anything more than the inherent straightforwardness and detail ot their narrative were needed, to substantiate the accuracy and truthfulness of the boys' statement This location of Cape Vers is mentioned In Sverdrup's narrative as the place where during bis stay In that region ha obtained elder duck . eggs.) From Cape Vera they went on down Into the southwest angle of Jones Sound, where they killed a seal; thence east along tha south coast ol the sound, killing three bears at the point noted on the map, to the peninsula known as Cape Sparbo on the map, about midway on the south side of Jones Sound. Here they killed some musk-oxesnd, continuing east killed four more at the place indicated on the chart, and were finally stopped by the pack lea at the mouth of Jones Sound, From here they turned back to Capa Sparbo, where they wintered. After tha sun returned In 1909 they started, pushing their sledge, across Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence along the coast to Clarence Head; (passing Inside of two small islands not shown on the chart but drawn on It by the boys), where they killed a bear; thence across the- - broad bight in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around Cape Isabella and up to Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they found a seal cached for them by Panfather.

"When my little boy was two and a half months old he broke out on both, cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy, watery kind and we had to keep his little bands wrapped up all the time, and if he would happen to get them uncovered he would claw his face till the blood streamed down on his clothing. We called in a physician at once, but he gave an ointment which was so severe that my babe would scream when it was put on. We changed doctors and medicine until we bad spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. I was so worn out watching and caring for him night and day that I almost felt sure the dlseaso was incurable. But finally reading of the good results of the Cutlcura Remedies, I determined to try them. I can truthfully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only a dollar and a half's worth ot the Cutlcura Remedies (Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors' medicines I had tried, and in fact entirely cured him.
