1912, were overw helmed by BLIZZARD

Tie news of the appalling disaster
which befell Captain Scott and his
companions was brought to this port
by a signaled message from the Terra
Nova, the vessel which had carried
the explorer and his expedition. to the
antarctic, and which late last year
went once again to the south to bring
him and his companions back.
The total number Of deaths involved
in the calamity is not exactly known,
but it is believed 6fty-two scientists
and sailors lost their lives.
Captain scott's party reached the
exact point where Roald Amundeen
planted the Norwegian flag at the south
pole. They found there the hut con
structed and left behind by Amurd-
sen s party.
These facts were recorded in the
documents found on the bodies OF the
explorers when they were recovered,

The fact that Captain Amundscn

eight days. while the Scott party had
been travelling more than two months
when disaster overlook them, is believed
to show that Scott must either have
met some misfortune. possibly In cre-

billiards. The fact that Petty Officer
Evans died from conclusion OF the brain
as early as February II seems TO indicate
some such accident. possibly involving
the loss OF a portion Of the equipment.
Captain Oates died OH March II. which
clearly shows that the party was In dire

DISASTER DUE TO
ABSENCE OF DOGS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O-when news
Of the tragic death of Captain Scott and
his companions reached headquarters Of
the National Geographical society, Gill
bert II. Grosyenor, the director said:
EVERY one who has followed careful
ly the methods OF polar exploration orisl-
mated by Peary more than twenty years
ago has been considerably worried since
1t was learned that Scott sent all oil his
dogs back from the foot of Beardmore
glacier and depended upon himself and
his four companions TO drag on sleds
supplies sufficient for the trip OF 700
miles to the pole and back.
The efficiency OF Peary and Amund-
sen and the great speed which they were
able to attain was due 20 the fact that
they were experienced handlers Of dog
and always depended upon dogs 10 do
their shedding, In the event that any
accident or scurvy, the other members
would be seriously handicapped by the
absence OF dogs.
"As We are all proud TO claim kinship
with Scott, whose name VIII always go

dauntlcss OF English explorers, We re-
ioice that the ambition OF his life was
realized before the end

LONDON, Feb. l0.-The last Mrs. Scott
saw Of her husband was In cinemato-

few months ago.
The pictures were taken at the supply
base by II D. Pointing, n member OF the
party, who returned TO England last
June. with 5000 feet OF films, showing
the preparations made for the last dash.
They were bought by the Gaumont COM
pany OF London, who gave a private eX-
hibtion especially for Mrs. Scott. She
evInced the greatest interest and enthu
slasm.
A pathetic feature OF the exhibition
WAS the fact that at the time Mrs. Scott
was witnessing the exhibition her nus
band was dead.
Before leaving for New Zealand, Mrs.
Scott paid another visit to Gaumont's,
taking with her her 4-Xearr..old son Peter
to see his papa. While the films We're
being shown. the little fellow made a
running fire of remarks such as look
