GEORGE V. CHARMED PEARY.
Explorer Greatly Impressed by King’s
Knowledge of Arctic Subjects.
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
LONDON, June 4.—Commander Peary was charmed by the cordial welcome given him by King George, by whom he was received at Marlborough House on Thursday, and while, with characteristic modesty, he declined to give the details of the interview for publication, it was evident to the friends to whom he spoke that he was greatly impressed by the deep and accurate knowledge the King possessed of the subjects on which the conversation turned. His Majesty’s interest in the arctics is a double one—that of the sailor and that of the sportsman.
Commander Peary was unable, on account of engagements, to attend at the departure of Capt. R. F. Scott’s antarctic ship Terra Nova on Wednesday, but, in company with the leader of the expedition, he went over her a few days ago. He and Capt. Scott have had several confabulations.
Commander Peary delivered several lectures in the leading provincial towns in England this week, and next week he goes to Scotland, before again returning to the Continent to speak before various Geographical Societies which have invited him to address them.
