Scurvy Not . Factor.

Commander Evans who is now in
charge of the expedition. denies that
Scott or any of his party died Of scurvy.
Death. he states, was due TO exposure
and weakness. Asked whether there
was any likelihood of the bodies having
been brought back by the party, Com
mander Evans said:
The best people to judge of that
question are those who served with
Scott and his gallant comrades. They
were their constant companions for
more than two years. Had VIC our

AS to Publishing Diaries.

ut is doubtful whether any of the
diaries belonging to the dead explorers
viii be published before the publication
Of the book narrating the history OF
the expedition"
y Christchurch cable states that the
steamship Aorangi. in which Mrs. Scott
ia travelling TO New Zealand. is not yet
within range of wireless. and that it
Will be some days before it is possible
TO get in touch with her. Mrs. Scott
therefore. is probably not vet aware Of
the fate of her husband.
Mrs. Wilson wife OF DR.. Wilson, who
had come to New Zealand to welcome
her husband on his return from the
Antarctic is Frustrated with grief.
Further particulars given by Com
mander f. Il. c. Evans show that the
party under Captain Scott on the jour
uoy to the pole marched an average
of twelve miles daily after January 4,
and reached the pole on January i.
Captain Soctt's observations by the
theodo'ite on January IS fixed the pole
within half q mile Of Amundsen's OBJ
servations.
The Scott party had followed Amuud-
sens track. and found his camp within
three miles Of the pole.
