JEALOUS EXPLORERS

that all the courageous men who
have/dared the perils of Farthest
North were fakers like him. The
doubts In* aroused still linger, and
there are few who even today are
incredulous about the 1900 polar
dash of Peary. It is strange that
in all these 17 years no one of

[better work in the future. Some
of you have thought that I had
been too “hard boiled at times
but you can see that I was work-

and not for any selfish interest.

there was enough time before his
( wn return to civilization to per-
mit his to cross the distance re-
maining. He wept somewhere.
Where? Why not the pole? It
was as easy to go there as any-
where else, and it was his last
chance to do what he had tried so
many'Years to do. Why shouldn t
be go to the pole"
Si ill's party found Amundsen s
flag at the south pole and m*
.question could arise over that ex-
plorit. Unfortunately tie* north
pole is in aii ic< field and Peary
flag could not remain for later
vovagers to locate. But there
of.c permanent record ot his v. u .
and some day an explorer can
dick it. Peary sounded the o.-e.m
(iepths from the start of his dash
and left niemo.rada ot his result:-.
When an explorer again reach"
the pole and stays there long
enough to drop his lead to the
bottom of the sea it will be tin e
enough to raise a serious question
whet her Peary was t hen
