The cabin is plain, of matched yellow pine, painted white.

Its conveniences are the evolution of long experience in the arctic regions.

It has a wide built-in bunk, an ordinary writing desk, several book units, a wicker chair, an office chair, and a chest of drawers, these latter items of furniture being Mrs.Peary's contributions to my comfort.

Hanging over the pianola was a photograph of Mr.Jesup, and on the side wall was one of President Roosevelt, autographed.

Then there were the flags, the silk one made by Mrs.Peary, which I had carried for years, the flag of my college fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, the flag of the Navy League, and the peace flag of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
