The penetration of the frozen heart of the Arctic circle, the news of Peary's feat following close upon the heels of Dr. Cook's planting of the American tlag at the same spot, evoked enthusiastic plaudits in Washington. Everywhere among army and navy officers and scientists and official Washington, generally, only words of praise were spoken. Dr. Cook was intensely interested at the cablegrams and so id: "That is good news. T hope Peary did get to the Pole. His observations and reports on that region will confirm mine." Asked if there was any probability of Peary's having found the tube containing his records. Dr. Cook replied: "I hope so. but that i? doubtful on account of the drift." He added: "Commander Peary would have reached the Pole this year. Probably while I was in the Arctic region last year his route was several hundred miles east of mine. We are rivals, of course, but the pole is good enough for two. "That two nv-n got to the Pole along different paths," continued the explorer, "should furnish large additions to scientific knowledge.
