PEARY ADMITS HE MAY BE
WRONG ABOUT DISCOVERY
WASHINGTON, IX C.—Hear-Aclmt
ral Robert K. l'enrx recently discussed
tlic reports from members of tlic Mac
Millan Arctic expedition that they laid
been unable to find Crocker land where
Admiral Peary claimed lie discovered
it In 1H06.
Asserting that both physical con
ditions and theory still point to the
existence of land somewhere between
MacMillan's route and that of Stef
ansson to tho westward, Admiral Peary
declared that lie may have been mis
taken about Ilia supposed discovery of
Crocker land. He says he saw Ike
summit of Crocker land from the tops
of Cape Hubbard and Cape Colegrute,
Inil that it is almost an axiom in Arctic
exploration that one can never lie en
lltely sure of what he sees until he has
had his foot on it.
Seen from a distance." Admiral
l’ear\ said, "an iceberg black with
earth and stones may be taken for a
rock, a cliff walled valley filled with a
fn£ for a fjord, and the dense low
clouds above a patch of open water
