The Roosevelt Sold at Auction

— “The Roosevelt,” the steamer on which Rear-Admiral Robert Peary sailed into the arctic seas on his successful trip to the north pole, was sold at auction in New York City recently for $35,200. Her original cost was more than $100,000, owing to the construction of the hull to meet ice pressure.
