Had we lived ! should have had
a tale 10 tell of the hardihood, the en-
durance and the courage of my COM

heart of every Englishman. These
rough notes and our dead bodies must
tell the tale. But surely, surely a
great and rich country like ours will
see that those who are dependent

DIED TO SAVE A
SICK COMRADE
SCOTS Party Gave Up Food When
Evans Was Injured,
HURT Ely FALL ON ROUGH ICE
Further Details of South Pole Trag.
edy Sent by Commander of Steam
err Terra NoVa--May Send
for Bodies.

London, Feb. 1.-THE desire OF
Captain Robert Scott and three OF
his companions on the return from
the dash to the pole, to save the fifth
member of the party was partly re,
sponsible for their deaths. CommaE
der e. r. G. Evans, now in charge OF
the ship Terra Nova, has sent further
details from Christ Church, New
Zealand.
1t was to comfort Petty Officer
Evans, i'll and injured, that the party
stopped on several occasions and each
delay meant the consumption of food
and the loss of time.
The party under Captain Scott, af
ter leaving Commander Evans, Jan.
uary A, 1912, marched an average of
twelve miles daily and reached the
pole January II. The Scott party had
followed Amundsens track and found
his camp. within three miles of the
pole. Several photographs of Scott
and his comrades at the pole were
obtained.
Evans Fell on Rough Ice.
The descent of Beardmore Glazier
was accomplished in thick weather
and deep snow greatly delayed the
march. Petty officer Evans fell on
the rough ice and suffered conclusion
of the brain. His condition caused
a further delay and the surplus food
was consumed.
February II Evans collapsed and
was placed on a sledge. He died a
few hours afterwards. The bad ice
surface and the illness of Captain
Oates still further hampered the
progress and weakened the energies
of the party. Sometimes they made
only three miles in day. Then came
billiards. and hard winds, which com
pleted the disaster.
The searching party under Doctor
Atkinson found their tent November
10, half covered by snow. The bodies
were identified. A tent was placed
over them and large cairn of snow
erected. Doctor Atkinson is author
ity for saying that none of the symp
toms OF scurvy was present on the
bodies.
To Send for the Bodies.
ut is stated" the Daily Mail says
that every ounce of food was ex
hausted long before death came to
SCOTS party. Only a small quantity
of tea was found with the bodies
which were discovered In the follow.
