Sydney Sept 20 Commander Peary denies the claim that he told Eskimos at Annatook that Dr Cook was dead and would seize supplies left by Cook. The Roosevelt crew found Cook’s box house unoccupied on arrival. Rudolph Francke had authority from a letter misattributed to Cook and prepared to return to the United States on the Erik. Francke handed an inventory of supplies. Murphy then supervised the house and its contents noting many packages opened and some items removed. The house, built of boxes, was moved to higher ground nearby and Cook returned to Annatook to protest. Murphy says Cook seemed satisfied and joint occupancy was agreed.
