Copenhagen reports Prof Elis Stromgren skeptical of affidavits by Captain Loose and George Dunkle claiming Cook faked records for polar explorations. Stromgren hints charges collapse as Cook’s pre voyage talks with Scandinavian astronomers supported his competence. Walter Lonsdale claims Cook was duped by Loose and left records due to his habits. Dillon Wallace backs Cook, calls Dunkle’s affidavit part of a plot to discredit him. He asserts Cook did reach the pole based on unordered conditions described and later corroborated by his account.
