Captain Scott Tells Of Results Of Ant

arctic Expedition.
London, April 4.-The correspond
ent ofthe Daily Mail at Christ Church,
New Zealand, has had an interview
with Captain Scott, who commands.
the Royal Geographical society's Ant
arctic expedition steamer Discovery.
The captain said that the great ice
plain which the expedition traversed
was undoubtedly fed from the ice cap
itol Of Victorialand and that since
Ross time ice had broken back for
thirty miles along the edge Of the
barrier.
Captain Scott said that his expedi-
tion to the far western end Of Vic
torialand was undertaken under the
severest climatic conditions, the ex-
plorer's hands and face being literally
cut by the Icy blasts. When the party
crossed the SOth degree for the first
time In the worlds history the COM
pass pointed exactly the wrong way.
Owing to the scarcity of food, each
man lost about twenty pounds in
weight during the six weeks trip.
During the glacier trip the party
had an extremely narrow escape, be-
ing precipitated into an enormous
crevaose. Captain Scott and one of
the party, named Evans, fell fourteen
feet upon ledge. The latter, with
the aid Of crampons on his boots.
managed to hang on to the edge.
Eventually Captain Scott climbed up
the almost perpendicular side of the
crevasse and Evans was rescued with
great difficulty. Captain SCOTS hands
were badly frozen.

London. April 2.-The Indian ONCE

Colonel Younghusband, commanding

confirm the story Of the Associated

British and Thibetans near Guru.
The dispatches add that 1t was a
Lhassa general who fired the first
shot. thereby inciting the Thibetans
to attack and show, but for the fact
that the Thibetans were SO hemmed
in that they could not use their weap-
ons. the British loss might have been
much more serious. The Thibetans
displayed dogged fearlessness. appar-
nelly being misled by the smallness of
the British force and ignorant OF the
effect of modern firearms.
The whole affair only occupied ten
minutes. and even in the retreat the
Thibetans disdained to scatter and
run. and marched solemnly in line
