he was preceded by his English rival,
Captain Robert F. Scott. He said:
~ saw no traces whatever showing
that Captain Scott had been at the
pole, but it is possible that he had besz
there and had left some unsubssantial
memorial, which had afterward been de-
stroyed by the storms.
"The chances, however, are heavily
against this theory, for during the
three days that was there the weather
was calm and still, and think that is
the prevalent condition.
f'There was nothing but the vast
level plains of snow, and hence there
was no possibility of erecting psrna-
nent cairn of stones.
fThe season was very favorable, and
therefore it is exceedingly likely that
Captain Scott did reach the pole later
| if not sooner than myself. I NEST sin
cerely hope he did arrive there, for he
well deserves success.
