LAST WORDS Of
SCOTT TO WORLD
Surely a Great Country Like
Ours Will Care for Those
Dependent on Us

London, Feb. 1l.-Grief and pride in the
simple narrative OF high courage, endur-
ance and sacrifice given in Captain Robert
F. SCOTS farewell message to the world,
written when he was doomed to death
with his companions In the Antarctic ice
and snow, are close competitors for
demonstrations in the feelings of the
British public to-day
The closing words of Captain SCOTS
epic are:
Had we lived | should have had tale
to tell of the hardihood, the endurance
and the courage of my companions which
would have stirred the heart OF every
EnRllshman. These rough notes and our
dead bodies must tell the tale but surely,
surely great and rich country like ours
will see that these who are dependant up
on us are properly provided for"
1t Is understood that Mrs Scott will
get an admiralty pension of $1,000 per
year.
Captain SCOTS touching appeal to
his Countrymen, written when the
hand of death was upon him has espe-
cia'ly stirred the public ina Gination
and is the principal theme of editorial
comment of the morning newspa pers
The appeal is certain to meet with
handsome response from the public in
| the various funds that are being
! raised. In addition to these funds
| several theatres of London already
have decided to give benefit perform
/ ances for the families of the men
who persisted

Scott, travelling toward New Zealand
