Head of Brave Explorer Propped

Lyttlefon, N H., Feb. 14-At the
hour when London was honoring, to-
day, the heroes of the south pole and
a memorial service was being held at
Christ Church attended by Com
nander E. r. G. r. Evans and the
survivors Of the Scott expedition who
came in on the relief ship Terra Nova
people here were agape with awe over
the tragic details of how Captain
Scott and his brave comrades actual
ly died.
Captain scotts body was found sit

his little tent, his legs on the ice and

After Vainly searching for Oates
body, the relief party erected a sec

Petty Officer Evans.
The shortage of fuel for which
Captain Scott in his diary could not
account is still the mystery of the
thrilling story of the Antarctic for
Commander Evans. while cabling back
to England another instalment of his
voluminous story of the polar dash,

the commander obtained this informa-
ton was not made clear. Captain
Scott, in his message to the public,

his story Commander Evans suggested
it was the actions of Petty Officer
Evans that held back Captain Scott
and exhausted his supply depots be-
cause he moved so much more slow
ly than he had calculated. The
captain, he said, counted on making
nine miles a day, while he actually
made little as three miles on some
days because of the petty officer.
The sickness of Oates, too. impeded
Scott, according to Evans.
An interesting detail of SCOTS
achievement of the pole, according to
Commander Evans narrative, is that
there was half mile difference be-
ton of the pole. Anundsen used a
se10tant and artificial horizon while
Scott used a theodolite.
Some criticism has been made of DR..

not move fast enough on his first re-

has a right to the valuable deposits
of sand and gravel in the bed of the

owning ''sendsuckers, a variety of

but they were stopped by the owners
of land along the shore. Since then
the operators of the 'tsandSuckers''
