Shackleton's party believe therc is lana

of sea birds and water creatures which
they saw there on their two visits.
Amundsen has the choice Of two routes.
He may strike straight south across the

MAY TAKE THE GREATER RISK.

the Norwegian believe that he VIII choose
the direct route. The risk Is greater.
and so is the glory He will traverse an
absolutely unknown region. II IL NOT
impossible that he will find the floating
ice sheet reaching for many miles be-
yond the latitude of the Beardmore Ga
cier. The ice sheet is not hard travel-
fling. as polar travel goes. and should ha
have good fortune in this respect. and
find suitable ascent 10 the plateau
when he reaches II. II is not unlikely
/ that he will outdistance his British COM
retitor.
His expedition is much lighter than
! Captain Scott's. but hardly lighter than
the one with which Shackleton pushed
so near to the goal. He has neither
motor sledges nor ponies. but relies on
Greenland dogs Of the breed that has
served Esduimaus. mariners and explor-
ers so vel. He has had less experiences
in actual sledging than has Captain
Scott. but on the other hand he and all
his men have been trained from child
hood in the use of skis and can probably
save their strength in the Journey over
the ice sheet 10 a far greater degree
than can tn, English party.
II should Re remembered that the jour-
ney from McNIurdo Sound To the South
Pole is nearly twice as great as that
from Cape Columbia, Commander
Peary's base OF supplies. to the North

except mere distance is almost impos-
sible. Pearys route lay across the DRIFT
