"There is(3)Cook in the Australian Museum," museum collection manager Jude Philip said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cook’s bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its(4), "Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum," which(5)include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalani’opu’u in 1778.

As they say there is evidence not all of Cook’s body was(13)at sea in 1779. "On this occasion technology has won," said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society, in a(14)from Britain. "But I am(15)that one of these days...one of the Cook legends will prove to be time and it will happen one day."
