Cook to sail for New York with Amundsen likely aboard
Copenhagen reports Dr. Cook will sail on the Oscar the Second to New York next Saturday arriving around September 20 or 21. Captain Amundsen may accompany him. Cook sought Danish Greenland officials to send a boat at Greenland’s expense to cut the two Eskimos. Officials refused, advising spring departure. University of Copenhagen awarded Cook an honorary doctor of science degree. The North Pole contest rages with Peary accusing Cook of not reaching the pole on April 21, 1908. The New York controversy swells as publishers race for rights to both explorers’ books.
