The Georgian publisher to-day the
flrst photographs of the great disaster
of the South Pole in which Captain
Robert E. Scott and others of his
brave crew lost their lives. The large
figure at the top is the last photo
graph taken of Captain Scott. It was
made a fetv days before his death by
Lieutenant Bowers.
The photograph below shows the
cairn in the frozen wastes of the Ant
arctic where to-day lie the bodies of
Captain Scott, Dr. Edward A*. Wilson
a % d Lieutenant H. R. Bowers. The
bodies were coveerd with the tent in
which they were found by the rescu
ing party, and records identifying
tham were left in the tomb of ice.
Over the mass of ice and snow the
cross erected by the rescuers In mem
ory of the heroes is seen. In the back
ground of the picture are to be seen
the skis of Captain Scott that carried
him over so many miles of snow and
ice. They were planted upright in a
small mound of frozen snow by the
rescuers, and so firmly that neither
wind nor storm would be likely to dis
lodge them. About the icy tomb may
be seen the footprints of the rescuing
party as its members tramped
through the snow while erecting the
burial mound.
How Scott Found Pole.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott and
a party of more than a score left Lon
don on^ June 1, 1911, on board the
Terra Nova for Portsmouth and Car
diff on the first leg ‘of a journey
to the South Pole.
On September 1, 1911, winter quar
ters were established within the Ant
arctic Circle. Shortly thereafter,
Meares and Mimitre. two of Captain
Scott’s men, with dog teams, made
their way to Hut Point, and tele
phone communication was established
between the winter quarters and the
temporary headquarters of the skir
mishing party.
Captain Scott, accompanied by Dr.
Edward A, Wilson, chief of the scien
tific staff; Lieutenant H. R. Bowers,
of the Royal Navy; Cherry, Gerrard,
Atkinson, Wright, Evans. Crean and
Keohane, made their way to Hut
Point, and on November 1, 1911, start
ed for Corner Camp, which, by march
ing at night and resting days, they
reached on November 26. having fur
nished and established a depot at
One-Ton Camp. Corner Camp was
situated in latiude 81:15 seconds.
On December 4 the party had suc
ceeded iti reaching Mount Hope, lati
tude 83, and on January 3. 1912. the
party was 150 miles from the pole, in
latitude 87.32, at a height of 9,800
feet, the very top of the great ice
barrier.
Sends Some of Party Back.
On New Year’s eve, in latitude 80
degrees 56 minutes, a depot for food
and sledges was established. These
depots, formed of cairns of ice, were
established from point to point as the
party proceeded from its winter quar
ters. On January 3. 1912, Captain
Scott announced to his followers that
he and four men would endeavor to
make the final dash to the pole.
He selected as his companions in
this trying journey Dr. Wilson, Cap
tain Oates, of the Ineskillen dragoon,
who was in charge of the ponies and
mules; Lieutenant Bowers, of the
Royal India Marines, and Petty Offi
cer Edgar Evans, in charge of the
sledges. The five men were equipped
with provisions calculated to last a
month.
The others who had made the jour
ney thus far protested strenuously
against being forced to return to the
winter quarters, but discipline pre-
yailed and they complied.
On January 18, 1912, Captain Scott
and his men reached the South Pole,
'there they learned that all of their
struggles had been in vain, for Cap
tain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian

Austrian Officers Who Sold Army

VIENNA, May 80.—While the Aus

alleged sale of army secrets to the
Russian government by a clique of
officers, headed by Colonel Red I, of
the military secret police, who com

circles that two other officers in

lives.
The facts make a sensational and
dramatic story. When it had been

Russia., together with documentary
Information as to the entire military

in the dead of night.
They left a loaded revolver in
Redl’s hands, at the same time in
forming him that they would return
at dawn to arrest him.
The hint was obvious and Redl
took it. He shot himself while the
officers were descending the stairs

.It was on the discouraging return
from the pole that Captain Scott and
his party perished most miserably in
a blizzard. For two months they
struggled to reach One-Ten Depot,
which had been established 120 miles
south of the winter quarters. During
the months of February and March
the members of the party died, one
by one. Petty Officer Evans was the
first to pass away. He died of con
cussion of the brain, the result of a
fall on the ice. Ctaptain Oates died
on March 17. He had suffered most
intense agony for several days. His
feet had become frozen and it had
become, necessary for captain to
carry him
Perish in Blizzard.
Realizing that lie was a burden
upon the party and that his injuries
might be the cau&e of the-ileatn of all,
he crept off into the darkness one
night and when found had been ft en
to death. This might have been
termed suicide, but Captain Scott in
his diary branded it an act of the
greatest heroism.
Aboht March 29 a terrific blizzard
overtook the three survivors, the only
protection against the fierce Antarctic
storm being a tattered and windblown
tent. In this tent Captain Scott, Dr.
Wilson and Bowers expired. In the
meantime the reserve party at winter
quarters had organized a rescuing
crew and a search was instigated.
One-Ton Depot was reached by the
crew, where it became evident that
Captain Scott and fhe' others must
have either died or become lost some
where between there and the South
Pole. 'Fhe search continued..and on
November 12, fight months after ttie
tragedy, the. bodies of three of the he-
roejwere found.
