第一篇Captain Cook Arrow Legend? It was a great legend while it lasted，but DNA testing has (1) finally HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)ended a two-century-old story of the Hawaiian arrow carved from the bone of British explorer Captain James Cook(2) who HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)died in the Sandwich Islands’in 1779. “There is (3) no HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)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) exhibition HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)，“Uncovered：Treasures of the Australian Museum,” which(5) does HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalani’opu’u in 1778.

However, Cook’s fans (12) refuse HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)to give up hope that one Cook legend will prove true and that part of his remains will still be uncovered.as they say there is evidence not a11 of Cook’s body was (13) buried HYPERLINK javascript:void(0)at sea in 1 779
