Copenhagen, Sept. 4. "Once
is enough for any man. I will
never return to the North Pole.
A aingle experience of the eort I
have just passed through will suf
fice for a life time."
This was practically the : first
answer Dr. Cook, discoverer of
the North Pole, gave to a volley
of questions fired at him by a
regiment of newspaper men who
boarded the Hans Egede as she
steamed into harbor at 9:30 thia
morning.
Dr. Cook admit that the na
ture of the moving ice covering
the site of the Pole will probably
remove the evidencea he left there
April 2lt and 22nd, 1908, but he
states that hi record of observa
tions when presented to scientific
men will wipe out all scepticism
He aaya he first planted his staff
on the site of the Pole and then
rawed the Americas flagr"Tftre
in that God-forsaken, spot," Be
said, "I realized aa 1 never had
before the meaniug of patriotism
and love for the flag." Seeing the
flag would be whipped into
shreds by the wind he took it
down and placed another in a
braas cylinder whieh he placed on
a staff.
Dr. Cook said he spent practi
cally all of two days taking ob
servations. "I had a sextent, a pocket
watch, three chronometers and
more modern instruments than
were ever used by an explorer in
the extreme North. I verified alt
observations carefully and am
confident the accuracy and com
pleteness of my record will satis
fy the scientific world."
Dr. Cook talked to newspaper
men but a few minutes. TIV
gang plank was lowered at 10
o'clock and his welcome was the
most unique in the world's his
torv accorded a discoverer. The
entire population of the city seem
ed to be at the pier with thous
ands who journeyed from all over
Europe. For fifteen minutes the
rowd cheered wildly. Police had
to force a way through the surg-
ng throng and take the discover
er in an automobile and carry
mm tohe 1'hoenix hotel, the
auto's progress was slow through
the streets crowded with cheering
thousands who blocked the road.
Dr. Cook was overcome by emo
tions and tears welled into his
eves.
"I never expected such a dem
lustration," he said. "It seems
too much for what I have done."
The reception room in the hotel
was crowded by the most distin
guished Danes. When Dr. Cook
entered his health waa drunk in
champagne. Johann Hanson,
minister of commerce, welcomed
Dr. Cook in an enthusiastic ad
dress.
After the formal reception at
the hotel. Dr. Cook, iu response to
the demands of the crowd outside.
appeared on the balcony of the
hotel and satisfied the throng by
saying: "I have had too hard a
time getting here to mke
speech. I can simply say that I
feel honored to put my foot first
on Danish soil on my return."
Cook then returned to his
rooms in the hotel to rest and
prepare to meet King Frederick.
Evidence of the enthusiasm of the
crowd was found in the fact that
his clothing was torn iu a dozen

places. His first embarrassment
was when he discovered that he
had no clothing suitable for pre
sentation at court. The King,
when told of this, said:
"Tell him to come anyway. Let
him wear his hunting costume. I
would rather see him in this dress
than in court attire." So in hia
hunting suit the explorer was
driven to the palace and received.
King Frederick embraced the
doctor and showeed congratula
tions. The explorer was visibly
affected by the warmth of the
greeting. The two discussed
many phases of the North Pole
discovery for half an hour, the
King's manner showing the full
est credence in Dr. Cook's state
ments. When Cook returned to
the hotel he found the King's
tailor there under instructions to
supply everything needed for tho
explorers wardrobe.
