Captain Ronald Amundsen. when he
received from the Associated Press
news Of the disaster to Captain Scott
and his party. Captain Amundsen
reached here today from Lacrosse. The
captain said he was too dazed to speak.
but finally said:
'It 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
must have been near to their base OF
supplies and it is also hard to under
stand how the weather could have been
so severe as to cause the death OF ali
of them
Correct, correct" was sAmundsen's .
comment, when he was told OF SCOTS
discovery Of the Norwegian flag left by
Amundsen. He gave full credit to the
report that Scott had found the pole.
He said he had never seen Scott but
referred to him as a. fine. brave man.
Captain Amundsen was: entertained
at luncheon at the MadisiOn club this
afternoon. Governor McGovern, For-
