SCENE AT ETAH, THE MOST NORTHERLY ESKIMO 

 SETTLEMENT 



This photograph shows the method of drying meat out of the reach 

 of dogs and polar bears, so that it can be carried on a long journey without 

 deterioration. It was at this point that Dr. Cook was landed from the 

 schooner, "J. R. Bradley," to make his dash for the Pole, and from the 

 same neighborhood Peary disappeared into the unknown. In the fore- 

 ground is seen one of the Arctic sledges such as are commonly used by 

 travelers in the most northern regions.
