LONDON. March 11-Sir Ernest
Shackleton. after reading Capt Amund-
sens cabled statement from Hobart, SUM-
day. in the original. made the following
interesting comparison Of "Amundsen and
myself" He says,
"Amundsen's further cable gives more
details Of human interest than could be
gathered from his first long and Official
message. He says that no traces what
ever were seen that Capt. Scott had
reached the pole before him. but he wise

would most likely be a snow mound
II note that he thinks that calm
weather Is the prevalent condition at the
pole. This Is quite different from what we
experienced and concluded to be tho gen.
eral case during our southern march,
During the whole OF that march on the
plateau we suffered greatly from strong
head winds.
What a blizzard means in a latitude
such as our farthest south and in a
temperature similar to that which
Amundsen found is as vivid to me after
three years as though I were experiencing
1t nova shr1eking wind. a binding
sn0wdrift, so dense and SO fierce that
one choked as though some great giant
were gripping our puny human forms: a
numbness that seizes ones limbs before
the mighty forces Of nature let loose, as

as IL struggles were useless, such q fee
ing as was only combated by the
thought that far off across the leagues
Of icy wastes and stormy seas people In
the home country were watching and
hoping for our success.

Scott Is an eminent man and leader OF
the first rank. His expedition was equip
ped with unusual completeness. and We
can be certain that both he and his men
have achieved various discoveries OF the
very greatest Significance. His expedition
was a great undertaking. with stan OF

self We therefore could not expect MIN
to have been ahead of Amundsen In the
Journey SOUTH Moreover. besides his
dogs, Scott used ponies as draught AMI
mails, and with these he could not easily
travel in the low temperatures so early IN
the spring as Amundsen did with dogs.
1t Is to be hoped that We may soon
obtain good news from him regarding
new and great triumphs.
However, since Scott has 80 large a
company and his explorations were to
be carried out in various directions.
and, moreover. since portion of his
party is at Cape Adare, 1t Is scarcely q
matter for surprise that his ship, the
Terra Nova, will need time to reach

how the offspring Of his genius has once

During the time that elapsed from

the ice until they returned to fetch
him again Capt. Nielsen and his men
carried out valuable Investigations in
South America and Africa. SO that en-

the greatest importance In enabling US

In addition to all this and a great

Lieut. Prestrud also explored King Ed

and the ice barrier In the surrounding
neighborhood. We can also expect that
this will give information Of great geo.
graphical and geological Importance.
All who are acquainted with Amund-

that his observations Of every descrip-
ton are az reliable as the careful use

four hours with the sextant and artificial

servations on the previous day and then

There il not much room left for doubt
that the expedition from first to last, has
been carried out on Amundsen's own
plans and calculations. and without a
single mishap.
No Luck, No Chance.

depots on the fiat Ice cap. devoid Of any
landmarks. and find them again with
certainty. at which former polar explorers
have failed. this man accomplishes with
the greatest ease. He goes through every
difficulty as IL such thing never existed.
Amundsen and his men have, in truth.
accomplished great feats OF discovery.
They journeyed the whole time through

sidered certain In England that Amundsen
would make for Beardmore glacier. dis

Christmas Dinner Near the Pole.
II and my four companions on tho pole
party kept the Christmas festival in the
high mountains not a great distance
from the pole. The feast consisted Of an
extra allowance Of biscuits cooked In a
porridge. a poor substitute for the album
dance of the Norwegian Christmas. but

''On the return journey we had not a

''The splendid condition Of the dogs on

In order to keep the dogs in good health
while crossing the tropics q special
double-deck planking had been fixed
above the deck of the Fran with a
space several inches deep left for the
circulation Of fresh air. This device was
constructed before leaving Norway. and
in the hot weather sails stretched above

result, little trouble was experienced with
the dogs. which landed fit for work.

fat. and that they had lived well during
the last part Of the journey was shown
by the fact that they would hardly touch
the seal meat, which was lying in large
quantities about the base OF the camp.
