Oamaru, Nov/ Zealnd. Feb. 10.— Captain Robert F. Scott and his party were overwhelmed by a bliz zard on the return Journey from the South Pole, and the entire party, Including the world-famous English explorer, perished. The party reached the South Pole January 18th, 1912. The Antarctic steamer Terra Nova, the Scottish ship, did not stop .at Oamaru, as reported yesterday, but merely signaled. The total deaiiis involved In the appalling disaster, which overtook the Scott party are unkonwn. but It is believed that sixty-six scientists and sailors lost their liveB. It Is believed here that the disas ter didn't Involve the whole Scott the Terra Nova sailei for the Ant arctic, on December 14, 1912, bring back the Scott party, that some members of the relief party expressed grave doubts as to wheth er Captain Scott and his fellow ex plorers would ever return, but no lesson was given for these doubts. Mrs. Scott left London five weeks ago for New Zealand, and she had hoped to meet her husband there on his return. The last direct word from captain Scott was brought by the Comman der of the Terra Nova, from the Southern ice regions last March, when Capt. Scott wrote- “I am remaining In the Antarctic another winter. In orier to .potn plete my work. Capt. Scott, shortly before that party, but only Capt. Scott himself date, sent a report, showing that on and four others, selected by him for January 3, 1912. he reached a point the final dash to the Pole. Party Left England In Summer of Nineteen Ten. (By Associated Press.) London, Feb. 10.—The Terra Nova sailed on June 1, 1910, for New Zealand and the South Pole. The expedition consisted of 28 officers and scientists and an additional crew of 23 picked men from the British Roval Navy. Reports were current at the time which was one hundred and fifty miles from the police. Today’s re port Indicated that he had traveled the remaining distance to the Pols at .the rate of ten miles a day. The date of Cant. Scott’s attain ment of the Polo shows that he reached the goal almost exactly a month after Capt. Roald Amundsen, the Norwelgan explorer, whose mes sage to Kin? Haakon read: "The Pole attained fourteenth-seventeenth of December, nineteen eleven; all well."

This was soou overcome when Spence, by far the best all-around athlete the Y. C. A., ever turned out, began to nlng them In with apparent ease. The locals immediately gained confi dence which was increased as they saw the Inability of their opponents to throw a basket with apparently an open field and no Interference. Spence threw five goals In the first half, Grantham and Neel each getting one. The Albany team got only one goal, Lockett, a guard, making It, but they gained four points on foul throws, the Thomas ville lads being easily lead Into ex cesses In that line. With a score of fourteen to six, at the end of the first half, the crowd cheerer lustily and waited for the laBt fifteen min utes of play.
