Text Appearing Before Image:
THE CAPE YORK METEORITES 5 Peary, herself born near Cape York, broke a bottle of wine over the mass and christened it " Ahnighito," her own musical name. With the great mass secured within the hatchcombings, the prow of the " Hope" was turned away from Saviksoah Bay and full steam was crowded on to escape from the dangerous place, where the rapid forming of new ice, presaging winter, threatened the adventurous white men with long imprisonment. Great anxiety was felt by the intrepid Peary and his men while the ship was forcing her way out of Melville Bay, for it was several days before the great mass of iron could be lowered to the bed of stone ballast provided for it deep in the hold and be secured where it could not overturn the vessel or break through her sides during a storm.

ETCHED SURFACE OF AHNIGHITO, SHOWING WIDMANSTATTEN LINES From the autumn of 1897, when the "Hope" discharged her valuable load at the Cob Dock of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Ahnighito lay there in comparative obscurity until last Septem- ber when the great mass was once more set in motion. Lifted by a great crane which makes child's play of handling a mogul locomotive, the meteorite was transferred to a lighter and towed around to the foot of Fiftieth Street, North River, where a mas- sive iron truck, capable of carrying a 100-ton load, was in wait- ing for the last stage of the journey. Twenty-eight powerful horses, forming a line the length of an avenue block, were re- quired to pull the truck and its load through the streets. On October i, the great meteorite arrived at the Museum and ended its travels. Here it rests on a six-foot cube of solid concrete and rubble. The dimensions of the iron are, length 10 feet 10 inches, height 7 feet 2 inches, thickness 5 feet 6 inches. In order to determine the exact nature of these great masses of iron, chemical analyses of all three have been made and slices
