Captain SCOTS main travelling par
ty was to consist of 16 men besides
himself, while groups OF four men
each were to return at different sta
ges Of the journey, leaving Scott and
four others to complete the final
dash to the pole. This would indl-
cate that some of the members Of
the party who had been left at the
various bases were not included
among the victims of the disaster
and that 1t was they who communi-
Gated to the world the fate OF the
| expedition.
Wife Unaware OF Death
Mrs. Scott now tragically the wi
dow of the British Antarctic explor-
| er, though she Is yet probably UNI
aware OF his fate. sailed from San
Francisco February for New Zea-
land, expecting to meet her husband
there. Just before her departure
she said that she had not heard from
him in Is months, but was confident
he would reach New Zealand safely.
Mrs. Scott sailed on the Aorgani
whose first port OF call Is Papette,
| Tahiti. AS there Is no cable to that
point, and as the ship will not touch
at any cable point until she reaches
the Antipodes, it is improbable that
Mrs. Scot will learn Of her husbands
death until she reaches New Zealand
although efforts are being made to
reach the Aorgani by wireless.
Expedition Well Equipped
The expedition under Captain Scot
was the best equipped that had ever
been gathered togther for such an
adventure. 1t sailed from Port Chal-
mers, near Christ Church, N. u. on
November 20, 1910. The Terra Nova
made direct south into the Ross sea.
Early in January. 1911, she forced
her way into McMurdo sound where
winter quarters were established on
Cape Evans. The members of the ex.
| petition had a very arduous task in
| putting their stores on shore and the
work took week. However they
We're able TO make themselves very
comfortable there in houses, which
they carried with them in knock
down form. They ut once began
their scientific observations.
Provisions for three years stay in
the ice regions had been taken on
the Terra Nova and these had been
placed on shore Captain Scott had
with him 20 Siberian ponies, 80 dogs
and two motor sleds.
The ponies, dogs and motor sleds
were to be used alternately for trans
port across the 1900 miles between
the landing place and the pole.
1t was arranged to cover ten miles
daily and it is apparent that this
scheme was carried out up to the
moment they reached the pole.
