PERTINENT QUERIES.
Received September 7. 8 30 a.rn LONDON, September 6. Dr. Cook is strongly criticised for sending his diary to America, presumably by the vessel starting before the Hans Egede, the Danish steamer which brought the expbrer to Lerwick.
Critics emphasise the fact that chief among the inducements to accompany the documents hiihself ought to have been the rejoining his wife and receiving his country men's welcome.

Received September 7, 8.15 a.m. LONDON, September 6. Mr L. C. Bernacchi, the Physicist who accompanied the Discovery Antarctic expedition, suggested that the altitude of the sun and the temperature of the air mentioned by Dr. Uook must be distorted by refraction; therefore, it was impossible that he could have determined the position of the Pole with the certainty he claims.
