only 300 miles
Captain Scott's last message to the
public, one of the most remarkable
human documents in the worlds his
tory, which the freezing explorer is
believed to have finished on the day
he died follows:
Message to the Public: The causes
of this disaster are not due to faulty
organization but to misfortune in all
the risks that had to be undertaken,
"First-The loss of the party trans
port in March. 1911. obliged me to
start later than I had intended and
Obliged the limits of the stuff trans
ported 10 be narrowed.
"second-The weather throughout
the outward journey, especially the
long gale in SO degrees south. stopped

stretch of 500 miles to the Pole and
back. worked out to perfection.
"The advance party would have re-
turned to the glacier in fine form and
with surplus of food. but for the
Astonishing failure of the man whom
we had least expected to fail Sea
man Evans was thought to be the
strong man of the party and Beard
More Glacier is not difficult in fine
weather, but on our return we did
not get a single completely fine day
and this with a sick companion
enormously increased our difficulties
I'VE got into frightful rough ice and
Evans received concussion Of the
brain. He died a natural death, but
left us a shaken party with the sea

But all the facts above enumer-
ated were as nothing to the surprise
that awaited US on the barrier

returning we're quite adequate ant
that no one in the world would have
eNpected the temperature and sur

time of the year. On the summit, il
