He had served as head of the chart depot, in the Navy Department, where he set up the first fixed astronomical instruments in the United States. “‘In addition to his volumes telling of his discovery of the land which now bears his name, he wrote several works, among them “Western America, including Galifornia and Oregon,” and a “Fheory of the Winds.” * & ¢ I call him “a living light fountain,” not only because of his discoveries, but because, imbued with the real American spirit, he rendered his serv- ice for all mankind. The expedition was undertaken for sclentific and in- dustrial reasons.

During a brief summer excursion to Greenland in 1886, while he was & clvil engineer in the United States Navy, he realized that the goal which had eluded so many hundreds of am- bitious and dauntiess men could be won only by a new method of attack. “The first arctic problem with which Peary grappled was co red at that time in importance second only to the conauest of the pole, namely, to determine the insularity of Greenland and the extent of its rojection northward. At the very Dekinning of his first expedition to Greenland, in 1891, he suffered an accident which ~sorely ~taxed his patience as well as his body, and which is mentioned here as it illus- trates the grit and stamina of his moral and physical makeup. “As his ship. the Kite, was work- ing its way the Greeniun« | became wed, ing the whe | the spoke | against the casement, | possible to extricate | both bones of the leg were broken. The party urged him to return to the United States for the winter and resume his exploration the follow- ing year. But Peary insisted on being landed as originally planned at McCormick bay, stating that the money of his friends had been in- vested in the project and that he must ‘make good' to them. The assiduous nursing of Mrs. Peary, aided by the bracing alr, so speedily restored_his strength that at the en- suing Christmas festivities. which were arranged for the Eskimos. he outraced on snowshoes all the natives and his own men' ntered Unknown Land. “In the following May, with one companion, Astrup. he ascended to the summit of the great ice heap which covers the interlor of Greenland. 5000 to 8,000 feet in elevation, and pushed northward for 500 miles over a region where the foot of man had |never trod before, in temperatures a cake of rudder, caus- One of ry's leg making it Im- himself until . ja | | Do You Want a Home?

Imagine his surprise on descending from the tableland to enter a little valley radlant with gorgeous flowers and alive with murmuring bees, lWllero musk oxen were lazily brows- ng. “This sledding journey, which he duplicated by another equally re- markable crossing of the ice cap three years later, defined the northern extension of Greenland and conclu- sively proved that it is an island in- stead of a continent extending to the pole. In boldness of conception and brilllancy of results these two cross- ings of Greenland are unsurpassed in arctic history. The magniture of eary’s feat Is better appreciated when it is recalled that Nansen's his- torlc crossing of the island was be- low the Arctic circle, 1,000 miles south of Peary's latitude, where Greenland is some 250 miles wide. Broke Virgin Trail. “Peary now turned his attention to the pole, which lay 396 geographical miles farther north than any man had penetrated on the western hemi- sphere. To get there by the American route he must break a virgin trail tevery mile north from Greely's 83° 24". No one had pioneered so great a distance northward. Markham and others had attained enduring fame by advancing the flag considerably less than 100 miles, Perry had pioneered 150 miles, and Nansen, 128, from his ship, { “His experience in Greenland had { convinced Peary, if possible more firmly than before, that the only way of surmounting this last and most formidable barrier was to adopt the manner of life, the food. the snow- houses and the clothing of the Eski- mos, who by centuries of experience had learned the most effective method of combating the rigors of arctlc Weather; to utilize the game of the | northland, the arctic reindeer, musk , ox, etc, which his exporations had | proved comparatively abundant, thus Wwith fresh meat keeping his men fit and good-tempered through the de- | pressing winter night, and, lastly, to kimo to become’ his siedg- ing crew. Greenland Explorations. “In his first north polar expedition, which lasted for four vears, 1898- | 1902, Peary failed to get nearer than 13 'miles to the pole.

Winds of unusual fury, by opening big leads, robbed him of the pole and nearly of his life. “The last Peary expedition, 1908- 1909, resulted in the discovery of the pole and of the deep ocean surround- ing it. The 396 miles from Greely's farthest had been vanquished, as fol- lows: 1900, 30 miles; 1902, 23 miles; 1906, 169 miles; 1909, 174 miles. “YThus Robert E. Peary crowned & life devoted to the exploration of the icy north and to the advancement of sclence by the hard-won discovery of the north pole. The prize of four cen- turles of striving yielded at last to the most persistent and sclentific at- tack ever waged against it. Peary's success was made possible by long experience, which gave him & thor- ough knowledge of the difficulties to be overcome, and by an unusual com- | bination of mental and physical power —n resourcefulness which enabled him to find & way to surmount all ol stacles, a tenacity and courage which knew no defeat, and a physical en- dowment such as nature gives to few men."
