Show . PEARY SURE HE'LL REACH THE POLE New Course Is Mapped Out by Explorer, Who Holds the "Farthest North" Record. NEW TOBK, Jan. 5 Lecturing be-bore be-bore the Brooklyn Institute on his last Arctic expedition, Commander B. E. Peary exhibited on a map a new course, which, he said, he would take on his next venture into the Fsr North, and which, be believed, would take him to the pole. On his last voysge, he explained, ex-plained, he had, throegh lack of knowledge knowl-edge of the virgin ice in the Far Aretic, made a mistake in not making certain allowances for currents. Trying again, he would leave his ship in its last winter berth, trsvel overland to the west and then allow the eurrent to bear him on the moving ice, northeast and east, assisting him toward the pole. Returning, he would again drift eastward, calculating to land on the northeastern coast of Greenland. Commander Peary said that he had devoted his life to the work. |
