SCOTT AND MEN DIED OF EXHAUSTION
Lieutenant Gran, Who Found the Elk
pIorers' Bodies, Going to London
With Records.

Winnipeg and not star
walton was the undoing of Captain
Scott and the men who died with him
on their way back from the South
Pole. according to Lieutenant Gran, a
member of the party which found the
bodies.
The end of the party apparently
was peaceful" declared Gran Tuesday.
Captain Scott lay on his back as if
asleep, but outside of his sleeping bag.
DR.. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers
were in their sleeping bags. Apparent
ly they had been carefully wrapped by
Captain Scott, who evidently was last
to die. On DR.. Wilson's features were
traces of a faint smile. He looked ex-
actly as if he were about to awaken
from a sound sleep. The scene was
depressing.
while they did not die of starva-
ton, still all their food had given out
and, worst of ALL their fuel. Be-
sides, they were experiencing terrible
storms. We laid their bodies side by
side and said a burial service. Then
we removed the poles from the tent
and covered the bodies with the can
vas. On top of this we built cairn
of snow and ice fifteen feet high. We
bound skies in the form of a cross,
erected it on top of the cairn and left
the men where they fell"
Gran has in his possession SCOTS
diary and records. He is en- route to
London to attend the meeting of the
Royal Geographical Society.
