Here the expedi- tion wintered and the Roosevelt was given advantage of the high northern base. He then tella of an February 15, 1909, in a direction to- ward Cape Columbia. Wonderful Journey. From Columbia he makes a won- derful journey north. From there on, although his story is simply a statement of dates, it is very inter esting, and tells of passing the rec- ords of other explorers. Peary speaks much of open water, but does not tell the method of crossing these leads. This interesting in- later. He left Columbia in March and was delayed by open water from the fourth to the eleventh. The time lost at this stage was very valuable to him, as it occurred at the best sledding season. On March 11 he crossed the 84th par- allel. From this it would appear that he succeeded in making al- most 70 miles on two or three *)marching days, only one of which must have been good going. Tremendous Speed. On March 15 he encountered an- other open lead. He png — not delay there very crossed the 85th pos “hee days later. Then, with a burat of tremendous speed, he crossed the 86th parallel on March 23. So in less than a month he reached the Hel, although, to use his he “Was held up for that month by water. Peary again encountered open leads from March 23 to March 26, and the following day crossed the 87th parallel. On the very next day he passed his own record made tn April, 1902. On March 27th and 28th he encountered another open | lead. He must have encountered | another lead on the 29th, but with the tremendous speed he must have been making, succeeded tn cross- ing the 88th parallel four days later, and two days later he crossed the | 89th parallel. Then it required only two days for him to reach the pole. Made 35 Miles a Day. Commander Peary tells a wonder- |ful story of travel over the Polar fee.

We should know whether or not any other person now employed by the city had anything to do with the transaction.” Mr. Thomson sald as soon as he tions now engaging his attention he will take the matter up. He thought he might be able to take this step within a day or two. The charge made by Supt.
