T .Atirlnn TToK^no*?*f 1 A AmU. ???" uvuuvii) x. vwi UU1 J xv. VIlly Ilica" pre details are yet available of the Scott polar tragedy, rankinp in disastrous results with the ill-fatea Franklin expedition. News of the deatl* of Capt. Robt. F. Scott and his four brave companions, who succeeded by a final dash in reachinp the South Pole, only to find proofs that Amundsen had forestalled them, came in a brief dispatch from LU ut- G. R. Evans, of the Royal navy, who was second in command when the expedition started, and who now sipns as "commander" of the expedition. The messape was sipnalled from the Terra Nova, returninp from the Antartic repions, while passinp Oamaru, New Zealand. The stoppering effects of the news on the public mind is all the greater, as it Was believed that modern sci ence and recent experience had com. pletely divested polar exploration of its former terrors. ; Death in Hour of Triumph. ^ No greater surprise would have been felt had Capt. Scott failed to reach the pole, but that he should perish in his hour of triumph was * the very last thing that could be anticipated and, in view of the terrible dangers which still exist, the fate of Capt. Scott and his companions is likely to discourage further attempts to reach the pole, now that both have been attained and the circumstances of hurried dashes prevent valuable scientific results from being obtained. No detailed facts are yet known, but it is believed the records of the scientific material collected, together with the explorers' bodies have been recovered. It afso is understood that gallant attempts were made by the other members of the expedition to succor the Scott party, but these were defeated by severe weather conditions and lack of food. Probably Victims of Starvation. It seems practically certain that the explorers starved to death. The fact that Capt. Amundsen reached his base from the pole in 30 days, while the Scott party had been traveling more than two months wheh the disaster over took them, is believed to show that Scott must either have met some misfortune, possibly in a crevasse, or encountered a sue cession of blizzards. The fact that Petty Officer Evans died from concussion of the brain as early as February 17 seems to indicate some such activity, possibly involving the loss of a portion of the equipment. Capt. Oats died on March 17, which clearly shows that the party was in dire straits and must have undergone terrible sufferings during the remaining 12 days. No news has been received as to how the fate of Capt. Scott and his companions was discovered, but it is assumed that a rescue party was dispatched from the base. London, February 10.?At a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society this evening announcement was *u? ,i: i? ?U:.L i nunc ui me umaaicr which nus overtaken Capt. Robt. F. Scott's Antartic expedition, resulting in the death of Capt. Scott, Dr. E. A. Wilson, Lieut. H. R. Bowers, Capt. L. E. G. Oates and Petty Officer E. Evans. Capt. Scott's party, said Douglas W. Freshfield, vice president of the Geographical Society, in making the announcement, found Capt. Roald Amundsen's hut and record at the South Pole. On the return trip, about March 29, 1912, eleven miles from One Ton Depot, a blizzard overwhelmed them. They had suffered greatly from hunger and exposure, and the death of Scott, Bgwers and Wilson was virtually due to that. They died soon after the blizzard x swept down on the party. itr j 1.1 s M THE Undertr BAH deriak- Everythin I ria?? vantage o :? with from 25 t usiness and let us rect to out for ou hone 88 AILEY DAU _ Tteas.
