SCOTS Previous Exploits

Capt. Robert Falcon Scott. commander

the first Of all explorers in the far south
whose efforts rose to the plane Of CONT
mental exploration. The others had con-
fined their work to outlining the conti-
nent of the antarctic. Capt Scott in 1900
aimed at the pole. Until the Shackleton
dash in 19Ns-1909 he had the record for
reaching the farthest point south. His
discoveries were of the greatest i'm
rortance both 70 Shackleton and Amund-
sen, and without detracting from the
glory of their achievements IL Is only
fair to award 10 Capt. Scott the honor
of being the pioneer.
Capt. Scott was born in 1868 He is
four years older than Amundsen, al
though he appears younger from their
portraits. He is twelve years younger
than Admiral Peary. His birthplace was

which sailed from Cardiff August 4 and
from Dunedin. New Zealand. November
%. 1910 The immense confidence Capt. Scott
inspires in his followers may be judged
by the fact that all except three Of his
old Discovery party again volunteered
to accompany him. and in the first fort
night of the expedition being formed he
had over 1000 volunteers. It took all
his judgment and foresight to select the
fittest men. When the Terra Nova re-
turned to New Zealand after she had left
her explorers at Hut point. under Mount
Erebus. he wrote that he felt his choice
fully justified, and he had as fine a body
of enthusiastic men working under him
as any one could wish.

leader, officers and men all turn to any
manual work with good will. IL necessary.
Although Capt. Scott believes in strict dis
cfpline on board his ship. he also believes
that where work and hardships have to
be contended with that the officers and
men must share alike equally. 1t has
been proclaimed by some that Capt. Scott
leads and rules by discipline in place of
affection. This is unjust, ! think That
Capt. Scott inspires affection is proved
by his being accompanied once again by

later developed into determination. to go
back and finish his scientific work down
in the south. At heart his sympathtes
are as much with science as with tine

in which he kept himself up in every
branch Of the work done by his STAN on
board the Discovery.

Explored Victoria Land.

In 1903 Capt Scott turned his attention
to the interior of Victoria Land. After
journey of four weeks. in which the most
trying conditions were met, Capt. Scott
sent back the weakest members of his
party and pushed onward with only two
companions. He penetrated three hundred
miles into the interior. He passed south
of the magnetic pole and located it ap-
proximately at 40 degrees 80 minutes
south and 1855 degrees east.
The double relief expedition of the
Morning and the Terra Nova assisted in
the final release of the Discovery from
the ice. The expedition started home on
February Is and arrived at Lyttleton
harbor. New Zealand. April I. 1904.
whence 1t had sailed two years before.
Capt. Scott's determination to make q
second expedition to the far south was
made known soon after the announce
ment of Admiral Pearys discovery Of
the north pole. At the International geo
graphical conference held In 1905 1t was
decided that the north polar field should
be left to the Americans. The south polar
exploration has since then been the pecu-
liar interest of the British. Capt. Scott
was everywhere acknowledged to be the
one leader for final attempt. Public
subscriptions for the purpose, with a lib
eral contribution from the government
made up sum of 100000.

Three Months for Lectures.

Now again began q very stirring time.
for he wa sallowed only three months
leave in which to give lectures all over
the British Isles and to write his BOOK.
This meant travelling all day, and often
giving lecture in one town during the
afternoon and in another town in the
evening. Though not a born lecturer, he
acquitted himself well Of the hardest job
that he says he ever undertook His first
public lecture was before 1000 people in
the Albert Hall, London. a big undertake
ing for a sailor man, unused to public
speaking.
Then his book had to be finished One
wonders how 1t ever was completed, but
1t appeared in proper time and was &C.
claimed on all hands by literary as we'll
as non-literary people.
Capt Scott had now come to the end
Of his leave, and returned to the navy.
He was appointed to the admiralty for
work in the intelligence department Here
he remained for about a year, working
hard socially as well as at his job. For
the first time in his life he experienced
the position of being worshiped socially
as a hero. 1t was an experience he ap-
preciated for time. until, his work being
finished, he gladly went off to take COM
mand Of a ship once more. Though he
had thoroughly enjoyed his return to his
own profession, he still had one aim and
one idea only at the back Of his mind. He
still heard the "call OF the ice."

Scott's First Expedition.
The first expedition which Capt. Scott
commanded was sent out by the Royal
Geograp hical Society. aided by the British
government. The ship was the Discov-
cry. especially built for the purpose. Capt.
(then commander Scott was aided by
Lieut.. A. Armitage of the Jackson Harms
worth north pole expedition; Lieut.. c.
Royds, meteorOlogiSt; Lieut. NJ. Barnes,
Lieut.. E. H. Shackleton NOW Sir E. H.
engineer and photographer;
DR.. r. Koettlitz, naturalist; DR.. E. I.
Wilson, artist; L. Bernacchi, physicist;
T. v. Hodgson, zoologist and H. T. Fer
rar, geologist. Shackleton while on this
expedition was an invalid the first year.
Finding favorable ice conditions. Capt.
Scott put the Discovery into winter quar-
tiers in McNurdo bay at the foot of
Mount Erebus. The ice did not break up
in 1903. but help came through the re-
lief ship Morning, which came within ten
miles. bringing additional supplies. The
ice broke up in 1904, and the Discovery
returned with the relief ships Morning
and the Terra Nova.
In entering McMurdo strait the ship
passed over the position where Ross In
his map had placed mountain range.
Before going into winter quarters the
Discovery followed the great ice barrier
eastward farther than any previous ex-
plorer. Capt. Scott discovered new land
between 1j2 and 157 west longitude,
trending to the northeast.
Finally turned back by a heavy ice
pack. Capt. Scott landed at point on
the barrier 1914 degrees west, and Lieut..
Armitage made a short sledge journey to
20 degrees south latitude. Capt. Scott as
cended in a balloon, and found that the
whole range Of vision to the south was an
unbroken. undulating glacier. In the au-
tumn many short trips were made for
scientific purposes, which added very
considerably to the knowledge of the con-
tinent. Starting on the southwark jour-
ney, Capt. Scott travelled fifty-nine days
and made $50 miles, reaching on De-
cember 30. 1908, So degrees and Y minutes
south latitude.

storing Of the Discovery with all the nee
essary equipment for a stay Of three
years in the antarctic. far from any kind
of civilization. At the time when Capt.
Scott first went there in 1900 it was not
known that any food of any kind could be
obtained there. This, he found later, was
not the case. Seals, penguins and skua
gulls provide good, fresh food.
On the 2Sth of July, 1900 the expedition
was ready to start from the Thames. The
ship had very enthusiastic send-of, and
as one watched the leader standing on
the bridge as she slowly made her way
that that boyish young face meant work,
and II humanity possible, success. too
The Discovery, a wooden whaler. built
for the expedition. made its way to Ports
mouth and Cowes, where honors now be-
gan to come to Capt. Scott. His ship was
honored by farewell visit from King
Edward and Queen Alexandra, during
which the leader received a decoration
from his majesty, being made a member
Of the Victorian Order On the morning
Of August 8, a windy. sunny day, one sees
him again take command of the ship and
start for New Zealand amid a following
crowd Of yachts and boats, all dipping
their remnants as the ship sailed from
among them on its way to the southern
seas.
In spite Of many difficulties the ship ar
rived safely in Cape Town and now
Capt. Scott had to show his character of
leader and weed out some members Of
the crew. There had been a case of in
subordination on board during the voy-
age south, SO Capt. Scott dismissed the
offenders and wired to the society that he
had done so.
Amusing Incident.
This was an unexpected proceeding on
his part, as the chief offender was man
picked by the Royal Geographical So
ciety for his knowledge of ice work. He
was a whaler by profession. Capt Scott
now advertised for some one to replace
the dismissed and had several hundred
applications from the bluejackets in the
fleet stationed there. He was already
we'll known as a smart officer and a good
man to follow.
From there the ship went on to New
Zealand, having a rough time in the
roaring 40s." Here an amusing incident
occurred. The steersman, while on duty,
let the ships head swerve slightly with
the result that she shipped huge sea.

Poleward With Forty Men.

At New Zealand Capt. Scott again had
to make a change in his crew, but was
again met with generous help by the adj
miralty, so now, December 1, 1900, he
had what he most desired, namely, his
ship manned almost entirely by blue

Hero of the Hour.

Next We see him back in England. the
hero Of the hour, with honors showered
on him from all over the world. The
first thing to greet him on his return
was an intimation from the admiralty
that he had been raised to post captains
rank. This made him the youngest cap
tain in the navy. The next day after his
arrival he was raised to be commander
of the Victorian Order by King Edward.
and from that time on he was the daily
recipient Of medals. diplomas. letters and
congratulations from every European
country-I may say from all over the
world.
Many persons seeing him for tho first
time refused to believe that this youth
Unlocking man could possibly be the
one who had organized and led such
an expedition. 1t seemed incongruous
to imagine his having done such deeds.
He looked hardly any older than the day
he started except that his figure was a
little less lissome and showed a develop
ment Of the shoulders due to his hard
work and the pulling Of the sledges, but
his thin tanned face gave no indication
of all the hardships and work OF the past
three years.
