history of the world was the message
to the public left by Coptain R. F.
Scott, who, with four companions
persisted in a blizzard after discover
ing the south pole. The message,
which the explorer is believed to
have finished on the day he died,
follows:
message to the Public: The
Ecauses Of this disaster are not due to
faulty organization, but to misfor-
tune in all the risks that had to be
undertaken.
"First, the loss of the pony trans
port in March, 1911, obliged me to
|start later than had intended and
obliged the limits of the stuff trans
ported to be narrowed.
Second, the weather throughout
the outward journey especially the
long gale in efghty-three degrees
south, stopped us; the soft snow in
the lower reaches of Beardmore glac-
Ter again reduced the pace. We
fought these untoward events with
will and conquered, but it ate into
our provision reserves.
"The advance party would have
returned 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.
Seaman 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 sick companion
enormously increased our difficulties.
We got into frightfully rough ice and
Evans received conclusion of the
brain. He died a natural death, but
left us a shaken party with the sea-
son unduly advanced. -.
'But all the facts above enumer-
|ated were as nothing to the surprise
that awaited us on the barrier. /
maintain that our arrangements for
returning were quite adequate and
that no one in the would would have
expected the temperature and sur
face which we encountered at this
time of the year. On the summit In
latitude IS degrees to latitude Sc de-
grees, we had minus 20 to minus 80.
"On the barrier, in latitude 81, 10,-
900 feet lower, we had minus 80 dur
ing the day and minus Al at night,
pretty regularly, with continuous
headwind during the day marches.
These circumstances came on very
suddenly, and our wreck was certain
ly due to this sudden advent of
severe weather, for which there was
no satisfactory cause.
II do not think human beings ever
came through such months as we
have come through, and we should
have got through in spite of the
weather but for the sickening of our
mates and the shortage of fuel in our
depots, for which I cannot account,
and, finally, but for the storm that
has fallen on us within eleven miles

New York, Nov, 2o.-District At torney Whitman's office heard a report today that someone had come to the aid of Hans Schmidt the priest who confessed to the murder of Anna Au- muller last September, and had made it possible for aim to employ eminent counsel and alienists.
 This report followed an application by Schmidt's lawyer today for the ap- pointment by the court of a commits sion of two alienists to pass upon Schmidts sanity. In making the ap plication, w M. K Olcott, who was brought into the case week ago, said that DTS. Menas Gregory and Smith Ely Jelliffe, two of the best known experts in the country. had examined Schmidt and believed him to be in sane. Olcott did not say how or by whom the alienists had been retained. The court will make decision tomorrow on the application.
 Schmidt had but $700 in the bank. This, in the opinion of the district at torney, would hardly attract two medi- cal experts and a lawyer of Judge Ol- cott's standing to the case.
