The success of the expedition was due to the experience, the courage, endurance, and devotion of its members, who put all that there was in them into the work; and to the unswerving faith and loyalty of the Peary Arctic Club, which furnished the funds without which nothing could have been accomplished. Again, three cheers for Peary! He is a hero of whom all may be proud.
THE MISTY MAID
Away up North, in the frozen sea, where the booby walrus breed,
There lives a Maid, dressed all in white, who rides a snowy steed.
Her eyes are blue and her tresses gold, she has cheeks of a crimson stain,
On her head a helmet of dazzling hue, on her bosom a breastplate plain.
Oh! hear the penguins laffin, saying, “Baffin! Baffin! Baffin!”
Oh! Hear the penguins laffin, while the cutting blizzards sigh,
