which carried the British expedition
to the Antarctic, has arrived at Aka
roa, harbor in Banks peninsula, New
Zealand, but has not brought back
Captain Scott or the members Of his
expedition. The commander of the
Terra Nova brought instead the fol-
lowing brief message from Scott:
Il am remaining in the Antarctic
for another winter in order to con-
tinue and complete my work"
The latest news sent back by Cap
tain Scott to his base at McMurdo
Sound. showed that on January he
had reached a point $50 miles from
the south pole and was still advancing.
1t was clear that had the explorer
delayed sending back notification of
his progress until he actually reached
the pole, word from him could not
have been received by the Terra Nova
before she was compelled to leave,
owing to the setting in of winter and
the freezing of Ross sea.
All on board the Terra Nova are
well. Disappointment was felt when it
became known that the Scott party
had been left behind

The greatest number OF disorderly con-
