London Awaits More News.


London. March S.-The first message
with the definite statement from
Amundsen that Scott had reached the
South Pole was received from yelling
ton, New Zealand. by the Daily Elk
press.
Mrs. Scott, the wife OF the British
explorer, has not received any direct
news of her husbands success. She
said that she was unable to imagine
how Captain Amundsen would know,
declaring: II hope the news Is true,
but at present ! do not dare to believe
It."
Lieutenant Evans, the London Sec
rotary OF the Scott expedition, author
ICES the statement that no news what
ever Of Captain SCOTS success had
reached the local headquarters beyond
the newspaper dispatches.
1t is stated on good authority, accor-
ing to special despatch received from
Christiana, Norway, that Captain Ro-
aid Amundsen, the Norwegian OK.
plorer and leading rival OF Captain
Scott, did not reach the South Pole.
y on the other hand, word comes from
Copenhagen, Denmark, that the So
cial Demograten, Of that city, publish
es a dispatch from Christiana saying
a private individual there has received
telegram from the Fran expedition
stating that Amundsen also reached
the goal.
1t is pointed out by polar explorers
that the finding of the South Pole.
while a great achievement, has less
of danger than the finding OF the North
Pole. In the north the way to the goal
Ia barred by vast seas Of unstable ice
foes, constantly moving. In the south
the road lies over land. the greatest
obstacles being the great Ice barrier
surrounding the Antartic continent.
and the terrifying glaciers and wind
storms.
The news OF Amundsen's arrival fol-
lowing the rumor that Captain Rob-
ert F. Scott had discovered the Pole
aroused tremendous excitement, and
It IL the chief topic OF conversation.
Captain Amundsen's return to civil
ization two weeks before he was ex-
pected has aroused some surprise.
II Is pointed out by officials OF the
society that Captain Amundsen intend.
Cd to make dash pure and simple to
the South Pole and that he had no In
tention of carrying out any large pro-
gram of scientific work.
