Dr Cook and the North Pole cross examined in London
The Times and W T Stead cross examined Dr Cook with sixty journalists. Some correspondents remain skeptical while others express belief in his narrative. Cook claims the lowest temperature was 3 Fahrenheit below zero, not Centigrade, due to telegraphic error. He says 100 photographs were taken and left undeveloped, instruments sent to America. He dined with the King of Denmark. Danish Eskimos at Cape York corroborate some statements.
