Whea I started on the back trail I couldn't believe it waa really true at first and t kind of went on every march and all about the li e oq the trip up, but is I thought of it afterward 1 could not remember anything about ; coming back until I got to the uhjp.

"Now It all comes back to me an. there Is nothing for roe here. I am not good for anything else.. One who hus not been In to the Arctic does not know What It means.

"I don't know that I was not going to the pole until the lost moment 1 thought this time that at last I was going to get there and then the Com mitnrier said I had to go back; that he hail decided to take Henson Instead of me.

Die highest which could fall the lot of any returned traveler. The key to frigid endeavor Is suh- siislenee. I here Is nothing in the en-. tire realm of the Arctic which Is im possible to man. If the animal tires supplied with adequate fuel there is no .-old too severe and no niiMtacl. too great to surmount. No expedi tion has returned hci-itust- of utisi-al- ahle harriers or Impossible Weather. Tin exhausted food supply resulting I ruin a limited mums tif transporta tion has turned every aspirant from his goal. In the ages of the polar iiiest nint h lias been tried and miii-li has been learned. Tin- most Import ant lesson is that cr. ilizeii man, it he will flleeeetl, must bt'lld ttt llie savnge mplleily necessary.

"With due respect to the conipll nit nlarv eloipiencf of the chairman ami nt h.rs. candor compels me to say that the effort of getting to the pole Is not one of physical endurance, nnr Is It fair to call It bravery: hut a in'iipcr understand lug of the needs of the Kliimai-h nnd a knowledge of the limits nf the brute force of the mo iive pi, er. be It man or bonst. "The coii.iiest was only possible with Iln- accumulated lessons of uges of experiences. The failures of our less Niicceonlul predecessors were stepping stones to ultimate success. The leal pal hllndura nf the pole were the early I mulsh, the Dutch, the Kng- lish and ttie Norse. Italian and Amer ican explorers. With these worthy tor, runners we must therefore share the good fruits which your chairman has put Into my basket. "A similar obligation Is due to the Wild man. The twin families of wild folk, the Ksklmo and the Indian, were Important factors to us. The usp of pemmlcsn nnd the snow shoe which makes the penetration of the Arctic invst.-ry barelv possible has been bor rowed from the American Indian. The method of travel, the motor force nnd the unlive ingenuity, without which the polar ouest would lie n hopeless task, have been taken from the Kskl iini , To S'lvage man. therefore, who has no Hag. we are hound to give a part of this fruit. "To John It. Brndley the man who paid the hills lielnng at least ime-half of this fruit. "The Canadian government sent Its expedition under Captain Bernler lniiO miles out of Its course to help us to It. I gladly pass the basket In returning, shriveled skin and with ered musclea were Hied out at the ex pense of Danish hospitality. And lust, but not least, the reception with open nrms by fellow explorers to you and to nil Ixlongs this basket of good things which 1he chnlrman ha plac ed on my shoulder. "Nothing would suit me better than to tell you tonight the complete story of our quest, but the first telegram glvea more apecinp diila than I could hope to tell you In an after dinner address. Therefore I (hall devote the allotted time to an elucidation of certain phases of our adventure. No License Waa Required. "One of the most , remarkable charges brought out la that I did not seek a geographic license to start for the pole. Now, gentlemen, to the large public that may be a mystery, but you who know will appreciate that no explorer ran start and say that he will reach the pole. Many good men have tried before. All have failed.

This I hose to escape. Mr. John It. Bradley gave the muds. 1 stiapeo tne oesuny of the expedition. For the time being the business coiicorni .l us only. 1 be-: In vi d then, as I bclit vo now, that If we suceeeili'il there' would be time en. nigh to lly Ihe linuner of victory. i.n are b. re Ionium ,Mr. Bradley is lu re and 1 am In i -. We have come together to celebi ate that victory. "Now gentlemen. 1 uppcal to you as xidorers and as im n: am I bound to appeal to anybo.lv. to any man. to any body of men. : '. a license to look ior the pole? A to equipment. "Another criticism is the charge of our insufficient equipment. We hnve met this. Y'ou kn.,vv that we had ev ery possible aid to succeed in aledge traveling. A big ship Is no advantage. An army of while men, who at best are novices, is a distinct hindrance, while a cumbers.. me luxury of equip ment is fatal to progress. We abuse to live a life us simple as that of Adam and we Imced the strands of human endurntict to sclcntlilc limits. If you will reach ihe pole, there is no oilier way. For mir simple needs Mr. Hi nil ley furnished suflicieM funds. We wen- not iverbui.l' ned with the usual aids to pleasure and comfort, but 1 did n. -t start for Unit purpose. "Now to the xi iienirut of the press lo force things "I their own picking from important t. curds Into print. In reply to this 1 li.-ne taken the stand that I have aire. nl 7 given a tangible account of our Jiaiiney. It Is as com plete as the pi. i nlnury reports of any previous explorer. The duta, the observations, the records are of ex actly the same character. ; Hereto fore such evlden. , has been taken with faith and tin complete record was not expected to appear for yeurs, whereas we agree to deliver all with in a few months. "Now, gentlemen, about the pole. We arrived April 21, 1908. We dis covered new land along the 102d meridian between the 14th and the ur.th parallel. Beyond this there was absolutely no life and no land. The Ice was in large, heavy .fields with it-w pressure lines. .The drift was south of in t, wind waa south of weat. Clear weather gave good, regular oh nervations nearly every day. These observations, combined with those at Ihe pole on. the twenty-first and twen ty-eocfiud of April are sufficient to guarantee our claim. When taken In connection with the general record you do not require this. I can see that, but this and all Iheother records will come to you in the due course of events. "I cannot sit down without ac knowledging to you and to the living Arctic explorers my debt of gratl ture for their valuable assistance. The report of this polar success hus come ith a sudden force, but In the present enthusiasm we must not for get the fathers of the art of polar travel. There la enough glory for all. There Is enough to go to the graves of the dead and to the beads of the living.
