CAPTAIN SCOTT'S JOURNEY TO THE SOUTH POLE,

The Times of April 2nd published a his narrative by Captain Scott of

Over journey towards the South Pole, Bix columns are occupied by the account. We reproduce the last section of it:~-

150 MILES FROM THE POLE.

JAN. 3, 1912, LAT, 87.32 S., HEIGHT ABOUT 9,800FT.

After leaving the Upper Glacier depôt south of Mount, Darwin, I steered south- west for two days.. This did not keep us clear of pressure ridges and crevasses, which occurred frequently and at first gave some trouble, but we rose rapidly in altitude. Probably the difficult places were more snow-covered than further eastward The advantage of this course was mainly felt on the third and fourth days, when owing to our altitude we got a splendid view of the distribution of the land masses fringing the ice-sheet and of the arrangement of the ice-lalla.

The prospect of Christian fare gave us an excellent march of 17 miles, but the effect was that we were not so happy on the following day. The surface grew more difficult as we approached the 87th parallel.

we rebuilt our sledges with new short run- ners. This remarkable piece of work was

The advance party goes forward with a month's provisions, and the prospect of success Reeins good. provided that the weather holds and no unforeseen obstacles arise. It has been very difficult to choose the advance party, as every one in fit and able to go forward. Those who return are naturally much disappointed. Every one has worked his hardest.

The weather on the plateau has been good on the whole. The sun has never deserted us, but temperatures are low (now about mines 20deg.), and the wind is pretty constant. However, we are ex- cellently equipped for such conditions, and the wind undoubtedly improves the surface.

So far all the arrangements have worked out most satisfactorily. It is more than probable that no further news will be received from us this year, as our return 'must necessarily be late.

ROBERT F. SCOTT, Captain, R.N.

LIEUT. EVAN'S ILLNESA.

A telegram from Akarua, New Zealand,

dated April 2nd, says:---

The third and last supporting party had

a trying and distressing experience on the northward journey. Their report states that during the forenoon on January 4th the party, consisting of Lieut. E. R. G. Evans, N., Mr. Lashley, the assistant motor engineer, and Petty Officer Crean, marched south for three miles with Scott's advance party. Then, bidding their leader and his comrades. farewell, they turned northward in latitude 87.35 and commenced their homeward journey.

The Southern Party at that time were travelling rapidly yet easily they ap peared to be exceptionally, it, and the fast returning party retraced their steps, confident that they would reach the South Pole.

Lieut. Evans and his two companions covered over 18 miles a day until January 9th, when a blizzard of moderate severity set in from the south, lasting three days and severely hampering the little party. Accordingly, in order to ensure full rations for the early part of the hoineward march, a course was shaped direct for the depot near Mount Darwin. This course lay across Shackleton's Ice-Falls at the head of the Beardmore Glacier, but at least a day's march was saved by adopting it. They descended many hundreds of feet, mostly their except for mely ring the hedge, and the difficulty, arriving undamaged on the comparatively flat surface at the foot of the falls on January 17th.

Then, when nearly half way down the glacier, the party embarrassed itself by getting into a maze of ice falls, pressure ridges, and crevasses during thick weather. They extricated themselves from this precarious position on the 18th, after two very hard days of climbing, toboganning, and being bruised. Their sledge was considerably damaged.

Great care was taken by the doctors that all in the but ate fresh meat and other anti-scorbutic food daily. Further, Lieut.
