Amundsen Is Shocked.
Madison, Wis.-"HorrihIe, horrible!
I can hardly believe it, said Captain
Roald Amundsen when he received
from the Associated Press news of
the disaster to Captain Scott and his
party.
Captain Amundsen reached here
from La Crosse. The captain said he
was too dazed to speak but finally said:
1T is hard to believe this. There
must be some horrible mistake. It
seems incredible that such a large
party should perish in this way. They

supplies and it is also hard to un-
derstand how the weather could have
been so severe as to cause the death
of all of them"
Correct, correct" was Amundsen's
comment, when he was told of Scott's
discovery of the Norwegian flag left
by Amundsen. He gave full credit to
the report that Scott had found the
pole. He said he was not personally
acquainted with Scott-had never
seen him, but referred to him as q
riine, brave man.
