JEANIE LEAVES WITH SUPPLIES FOR PEARY

Natives at Etah Will Be Asked For News of Or. Cook. St. Johns. N. F., Aug. 3.—The expedition carrying relief supplies to Commander Robert E. Peary left St. Johns today. The eighty-eight ton schooner, Jeanie is taking fifty tons of coal and the same amount of stores, which she will land at Etah, Greenland, to supplement the supplies on Peary’s steamer Roosevelt. If Commander Peary is not at Etah the Jeanie will leave as soon as she discharges her cargo, bringing messages if Peary left any. Captain Samuel Bartlett of the Jeanie will ask the natives if they have heard of Dr. Frederick A. Cool: who went north two years ago to look for the pole and who has Deen missing many months.
