Scott Catastrophe Told In Brief.
Captain Robert F. Scott, British ex
plorer of Antarctic regions and main
rival of Amundsen in search of tho
pole, perishes in blizzard with un
known number of his party.
Documents found on the bodies show
that the expedition was returning from
the south pole and had reached the ex
act spot which is marked with Amund
sen’s flag on January 18th, 1912. Am
undsen’s hut also was found.
Mrß. Scott, widow of the explorer,
Bailed from San Francisco on the 6th
of February, expecting to Join her hus
band in New Zealand. She had not
heard from him in eighteen months,
and probably still is ignorant of his
tragic death.
London.—News reached the world
that Captain Robert E. Scott, the Ant
arctic explorer, and an unknown num
ber of his companions, perißhed in the
Antarctic while on their return jour
ney from the south pole.
They reached their goal on January
18th, 1912, about a month after Cap
tain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian,
had planted the flag of his country
there. Scott also found Amundsen’s
hut
They then turned back toward the
bases they formed on their outward
journey, but were overtaken, over
whelmed and destroyed by a blizzard.
Tho news of the death of the ex
plorers was brought to civilization by
the captain of the Terra Nova, the ves
sel which had taken Scott's expedi
tion to the south and which had gone
again to fetch them back after tho ac
complishment of their task.
A searching expedition recovered
the bodies and records of the party.
Only a few brief bulletins were sent
from the New Zealand seaport of
Oamaru by the captain of the Terra
Nova, who related simply the fate of
the party, and then proceeded with his
vessel for the port of Littleton.
It is believed here that the disaster
did not involve all of the Scott party
of sixty-six but probably only Scott
himself and the four others selected
by him for the final dash to the pole.
These are supposed to be Dr. E. A.
Wilson, chief of the scientific staff;
Captain L. E. G. Oates of the Innls
killing Dragoons; Lieutenant H. R.
Bowers, of the Royal Indian Marine;
the commissariat officer and petty of
ficer, E. E. Evans, of the British Royal
Navy.
The Terra Nova sailed on June 10th,
1910, for New Zealand and the south
pole. It was joined by Captain Rob
ert F. Scott a few days later at Car
diff.
Mrs. Scott left London for New Zea
land to meet her husband there.
