He sayu : "Apart from Dr. Cook's general refutation, which in itself would be a fjv.fficient guarantee, I should say the Yr.ternal evidence of his diary should show the world the accuracy of his «tatements." MELBOURNE, This £>ay." The Government Astronomer aan see no reason to refuse credence ' to Dr. Cook's exploit. "Some of his observations," ,'he says, "are certainly at variance with. 1 those of other expeditions, but it would not be fair to refuse to believe t'ojim. We have believed all the rest. The most unconvincing thing is the i/a.st amount of shooting reported. I car/u.ot see how three men could have can;i<id so much ammunition, beside their iood. r"erhaps, however, they had a very small store of food, and made their ammunition to act as their food.** COST OF THE EAtEDITION.
