after Amundsen hoisted the Norwe-
gian flag at the pole, Scott still had
$50 miles to cover before obtaining
the object of his desire. Since the
news of Amundsen's successful at
tempt Englishmen have built great
hopes on Capt. Scott emulating, if
not surprising the Norwegian's
achievement.
Now comes the disappointing
news that Scott Is spending another
winter in the Antarctic.
According to some of Can't
Scott's friends, here, he may att
tempt a great journey across the ice
barrier, returning from the side al.
most opposite to that from which he
started. If this Is so the Terra Now
