Final page of a typescript draft for the article 'Fighting the Arctic Ice,' designated at the top as page seven, 7.75 x 10, signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, "R. E. Peary." The page begins: "…boat, a piece of ice about the size of a small house came rushing to the ship, and we just barely succeeded in pulling the boat under the Erik's stern in time to escape being smashed like an egg-shell against her side. The Erik herself groaned and rocked with the blow." The typescript has several pencil emendations in an editor's hand, with the red ink "piece" likely penned by Peary. In fine condition, with a few small edge tears and toning. Peary's article 'Fighting the Arctic Ice' was published in the Pall Mall Magazine in 1905.
