Show HAVE FAITH IN PEARY. Friends Believe that the Explorer Has Reached the North Pole. Washington. Friends in this city of Commander Robert Edwin Peary, the explorer, who left last July for the frozen north, believe that Peary by this time has successfully planted the Stars and Stripes at cue north pole. No news has been received since he left Etapa, North Greenland, August 17, 1908, for a dash as far into the icebound ice-bound seas as the Roosevelt, his specially-built vessel, would carry him before be-fore being frozen in. If he has been successful in reaching the pole, the news of his discovery will not reach a point of telegraphic communication until un-til August or September. |
