WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Rear Admiral Robert Edwin Peary, re- tired, Arctic explorer and discov- er of the North Pole, died at his home here today of pernicious ane- mia, from which he had suffered for several years. He had submitted to 35 blood transfusions in the last two years. He will be buried with full naval hon- ors but final arrangements for the fun- eral have not been made. it was on the afternoon of September 6, 1909, that the following few words reported to the civilized world for. the first time this crowning achievement of three centuries of effort: “INDIAN HARBOR, via Cape Ray, N. E., Sept. 6.—To the Associated Press, New. York. “Stara and Stripes nailed to North Pole. “PEARY.” Peary's actual attainment of the pole had been’ just five months before, on April 6, 1909. When this dispatch came, the. world was, quite unknown to Péary, already Praising Dr. Frederick A. Cook as the discoverer. Only four days previous to the Peary announcement, Cook, who was on his way back fo Copenhagen on board a Danish steamer, had tele- graphed the claim that he reached the pole on April 21, 1908—nearly a year ehead of Peary. While Dr. Cook's claim did not go unquestioned from the first he had four days at least been widely acclaimed as the discovered of the pole. With Peary’s message there arose one of the great- est controversies of all ages over the honor of actual first discovery, There can be no one who has forgotten the dispute. Peary's assertions were not seriously questioned, but among news- paper readers there came to be two great camps, for’ and against Cook, ‘Peary, with his record of seven sun- trips to the Arctic, his official Bt in manding ‘erer of the pole was really won. ‘The bitterness of thin episode is only one item in the price which Peary paid for the immortal fame that is now ac- knowledged to be his. He spent prac- tically a}! he had in money, gave all that was in| him for hard. work, and suffered all that the human frame could endure from hunger, cold and disap- pointment. He made nail ee sigee into the Arctic, spent upwards a\million d6lars and several tienen he barely escaped the death which in varl- ous forms had been the fate of more than 700. explorers before him. “’ne-tirst step that led Peary toward {hé pole was taken in Washington one day when walked into a book store to browse’and picked up a fugitive ac- ‘count of Greenland. He became an in- satiable reader on the subject of the ‘Arctic. He was'thén 30 years old. He was barn in Cresson, Pa., in 1856. . His fa- ther died when he was three years old, and his mother took him to Portland, Moe., where he spent his boyhood, roam- ing about Casco bay. He went to Bow- doin college, won fame there as a run- ner and jumper, and stood in the hon- or column of scholarship. It was 9 lit- ‘tle later that he had gone to Wash- ington to work as a draughtsman in the Coast and Geodetic survey offices. He spent his spare time studying civil en- gineering and passed. in that branch in- to the naval service. He became Lieu- tenant Peary, U. 8. N. His first assigiiment was to the trop- ics. He was a leader of the aurveylng for the Nicaraguan canal route. was when he returned to yabiigion that he fell upon the book about Green- land, and thereafter virtually consecrat- ed ‘himself to polar exploration. Obtaining leaves from the naval lee, he let an expedition into Green: land, to determine the extent of this Mysterious land. He determined its jn- sularity, discovered and named many Arctic points which to day are familiar names—such as Independence bay, Mel- vilf@land, and Hellprin land, and in ‘one of his later voyages he discovered the famous méteorities which he brot back to: clyilization. One of them, weighing 80‘ tons, is the wonder of vis- itors to the Museum of Natural History in New York: “Between voyages Peary resorted to the jecture platform to raise funds for further exploration. In one instance he delivered 168 lectures in’ 96 days, rais- ing $13,000. On his sixtti voyage, with’ the pole iin view, he had‘ to give up| because Santi at of his feet bacame frozen.
