Queen Mothers Gift Bible.

Upon one of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library (provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind 1t was decided
with reluctance that this also must be
abandoned.
As the Bible contained on Its fly leaf
a message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the fly leaf was cut out, also the
page containing the Twenty-third
Psalm, and the chapter In the Book of
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end Of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be
sold on behalf of its funds.
