"Teheran is Khaki. 'Khaki' is a Persian word meaning 'muddy.'

IS Ti j |oFTAKIU<S OLIVIA 1 HER VOIC] J ?v "WHAT5 0 'IIP 1 Peary's Explorations In the Far North By Gilbert Grosvenor President of the National Gre if was my privilege to know Ad miral Peary intimately for twenty years, and 1 find it rlillicult to ex press my admiration and affection I for his personal qualities, the big ness of his heart, and personality, bis loyal devotion to his friends, his rugged integrity and bis love for everything American. The struggle for the North Pole began one hundred years before the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock, being inaugurated (1027) by that king of many dis tinctions. Hery VIII of England. Scores of hardy navigators. British. French. Dutch. German. Scandinavian and Russian, follow ed Davis, all seeking to hew across the Pole the much coveted route to China and the Indies. The ri valry was keen and costly in lives, ships and treasures, but from the j time of Henry VIII for three and one-half centuries, or until 1882 i (with the exception of 1594-1606. when, through Wtn. Barents, the Dutch held the record.) Great Britain's flag was always waving nearest the top of the globe. Immense treasures of money and lives were expended by the nations to explore the northern ice world and to attain the apex of the earth. But all efforts to reach the Pole had failed, notwithstanding the un limited sacrifice of gold and ener gy and blood which had been pour ed out without stint for nearly four centuries. A brief summer excursion to Greenland in 1S8G aroused Robert E. Peary, a civil engineer in the United States Navy, to an interest j in the polar problem. Peary a j few years previously had been graduated from Bowdoir college se cond in his class, a portion which means unusual mental vigor in an institution which is noted for the I fine scholarship and intellect of its I alumni. He realized at once fhot [the goal which had eluded so many hundreds of ambitious and dauntless men could be won only by a new method of attack. The first arctic problem with which Peary grappled was consid ered at that time in importance se cond only to the conquest of the Pole: namely, to determine the in sularity of Greenland and the ex tent of its projection northward. At the very beginning 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 mention ed here as it illustrates the grit and stamina of his moral and phy sical makeup. As his ship, the Kite, was working its way through the ice fields off the Greenland shore, a cake of ice became wedged j in the rudder, causing the wheel I to reverse. One of the spokes of wheel jammed Peary's leg against ?casement, making it impossible to extricate himself until both bones of the leg were broken. The party urged him to return to the United States for the winter and to re sume his exploration the following year. But Peaty insisted on being landed as originally planned at Mc Cormick Bay, stating that the mon ey of his friends had been invested in the project and that he must make ^ood to them. The assiduous nursing of Mrs. Peary, aided by the bracing air, so speedily restored his strength that at the ensuing Christ mas festivities which were arranged for tin- Eskimos, he outraeed on snowshoes all the natives and hit own men. In the following May. with one companion. Astrup, he ascended to the summit of the great ice cap which covers the interior of Greeny land. 500(1 to 8000 feet in elevation, and pushed northward for 500 miles over a region where the foot of man had never trod before, in tem perature's ranging from 10 degrees to 50 degrees below zero. Imagine his surprise on descending from the tableland to enter a little val ley radiant with gorgeous flowers and alive with murmuring bees, where musk oxen were lazily browsing. This sledding journey, which he duplicated by another equally re markable crossing of the ice cap three years later, defined the north ern extension of Greenland and con clusively proved that it is an is land instead of a continent, ex tending to the Pole. In boldness .of conception and brilliancy of re sults these two crossings of Green land are unsurpassed in arctic his tory. The magnitude of Peary's feat is better appreciated when it is recalled that Nansen'.--, historic crossing of tin- island was below tin- Arctic circle. 1000 miles south ui Peary's latitude, where ('teen land is some 250 miles wide. Peary now turned his attention to tin- pole which lay SOG geo graphical miles farther north than any man had penetrated on the western hemisphere. To gel there by the American route he must graphic Siciety LTFFS 5 HAVING A : TESTED^) UMKING i VOCAL j ; break a virgin trail every mile north from Greeley's S3 degrees I 24 ininut? :-. No one had pioneered j so great a distance northward. 1 Mark ham and others had attained : enduring fame 1>y advancing the : fl:i^r considerably less t-han lflO i miles. Parity had .pioneered 150 i miles, and Nansen 128 from his I ship. Hi^ experiences in Greenland ! had convinced Peaty, if possible, .more firmly than bet?re, thai the 'only way of surmounting this last and most formidable barrier was to adopt the manner of life, the food, the snowshoes. and the clot Il ling of the Eskimos, who by centu ries of experience had learned the I most effective method of combating! i the rigors of arctic weather; to i utilize the game of the northland. ?the reindeer, musk ox. etc.. which his explorations had proved com ! parativcly abundant, thus with j fresh meat keeping his men fit j and goodtem'pered through the de pressing winter night: and lastly to train the Eskimo t" become his I sledging crew. ? In his first north polar expedi ! tion. which lasted for four years. I 1898-1902, Peary failed to get near '?. er than 343 miles to the pole. Each j successive year dense packs of ice [blocked his passage to the polar ioeean. compelling him to make bis ! base approximately 7<><i mile--- from I the pole, or 2'io miles south of the i headquarters of Nan s. too great ta distance from the Pale to be ! overcome in one short season, j During this trying period, by I sledging feats which in distance j and physical obstacles overcome I exceeded the extraordinary records ?made in Greenland, he explored land mapped hundreds of miles of coast line of Greenland and of the [islands west and north of Green > land. ! On the next attempt, Peary in I sured reaching the polar ocean by designing ?and constructing the j Roosevelt, whose resistlesss frame : crushed its way to the desired hav en on the shores of the polar sea. [From here he made thai wonderful [march of 1906 to S7 degrees ?' min ' Utes, a new7 world's record. . Winds of unusual furv. by opening big leads, robbed him of the Pole and nearly of his life. The last Peary expedition i:>!i.S [1909 resulted in the discovery of the Pole and of the deep oc< an sur I rounding it. The 3'J?; miles from Greely's farther had-been vanquish ed as follows: 1900, 30 miles: ;1!>02, 23 miles; 1906, 169 miles: j 3 909. 174 miles. No better proof of the minute ! care with which every campaign was prearranged can be given than ! the fact that, though Peary has ! taken hundreds of men north with j him on his various expeditions, he has brought them all back, and in good health, with the exception of j two, who lost their lives in acci j dents for which the leader was in I no wise responsible. What a con itrast this record is to the Ionic list j of fatalities from disease, frost, .shipwreck*, and starvation which in j the popular mind has made the j word arctic synonymous with trag I edy and death. [ Thus Robert E. Pea 17- crowned a life devoted to the exploration of the icy north and to the advance 1 men* of scier.ee by the hard-won discovery of the North Pole. The j prize of four centuries ci striving ; yielded at last to the most persis ; tent and scientific attack ever 1 waged against it. Peary's success : was made possible by long ex perience, which gave him a thor ough knowledge of the difficulties 'to be overcome, and by an unusu : al combination of mental and phy I si'al jiower ? a resourcefulness j which enabled him ro find a way ; to surmount all obstacles, a ten jacity and courage which knew no 'defeat, and a physical endowment , such as nature gives f., few tuen. j It has been well said that the I glory of Peary's achievement be longs to the world and is shared I by a ll mankind. But we, his fel ? low countrymen, who have known J how he struggled these many years against discouragement and scoffing : and how he persevered under finan : cial burdens that would have caus j ed less stalwart shoulders to quit, [specially rejoice that he made good at last, and thai an American has [become the peer of Hudson. Ma gellan and Columbus, j Peary's first address to the Na , tional Geographic Society was in the fall of IS88, when the Society i was only a few months old.
