They reached their goal on January
18th, 1912. about month after Cap

had planted the flag Of his country
there. Scott also found Amundsen's s
hut.
They then turned back toward the
bases they formed on their outward
journey, but were overtaken, over.

Only few brief bulletins were sent
from the New Zealand seaport OF
Oamaru by the captain Of the Terra
Nova, who related simply the fate OF
the party, and then proceeded with his
vessel for the port Of Littleton.
1t is believed here that the disaster
did not involve all of the Scott party

CT his youth before the Staying of
