COOK'S NORTH POLE DASH.

EXPLORER'S NARRATIVE.

STILL MANY SCEPTICS. BEAR- MEAT SAVES PARTY'S LIVES ON LONG TRIP. BACK.' REDUCED TO BOW AND ARROW. HOW THE " STARS AND STRIPES " ARRIVED FIRST . ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD. Stages and dates of Di , . Cook's expedition as disclosed by his narrative:— Left Annorfak, Greenland, with big Eskimo party .' February 19,' 1908. * Began final dash (With two Eskimos ffndldogs) March 2f,-f 9dß". , ' Rcajhed North Pole and Planted "Stars and Stripn , ' April 2t, 1908. Left North Pole on return trip .' April 23, 1903/ Arrived Greenland (after wintering in in the ico) April IS, 1909. Nearly a year was occupied in returning 'from , the North Pole to Greenland. 'Lieut. Shackleton does not think this lengthy return tells against Dr. Cook's statements. • The exploring party "lived on the land' , —shotting game <as long as they had ammunition, and finally killing it with bow and) arrow. Bears saved their lives. , ■ ,'- The statement as to land in , the extreme north has become confused. The explorer saw signs of laud/ • ' , liear-Adiniral Melville, of United States'.Nnv.y, calls the discovery a farce. Other authorities give it more credit.

6f tho,supposed .region of polar calm, a strong wind was found blowing constantly from tho Pole.
