ItODART. Tasmania, March 12.
The recital of the march of Amund
en and bis little band to the South
Pole is a graphic but simple story of
extraordinary achievement aa told by
a modest leader.
It was on February 10, 1911, that
the march to the south was begun
over an open waste. The absence of
all landmarks made It necessary for
weather and grouud conditions and mean temperature for the year, ac-

miles. Six dogs made up the team
for each aled. The lowest tempera

degrees below zero.
On their return on February 15
from this first trip of laying down
depots. Amundsen and his followers
were rejoiced to find that In their
ubsence the Fram had been sailed
farthest south of any vessel and that
the Norwegian colors bad been
raised.

Tietween the time of their start

pounds of provisions, of which 2220
pounds was seal meat. Fifteen
hundred and forty pounds of this
food they placed in the eighty-first
degree of south lutitude, and 17C0
pounds more In the eighty-second
degree.
At the start they had favorable
for Bpeed. They did some scientific
work and made some very interest
lug meterologlcal observations.
The observation of temperatures
showed unusually mild weather,
much milder than Amundsen expect
ed to find. The general range dur
ing the five mouths they were In
winter quarters was from G8 to 76
degrees below zero. The lowest
temperature actually taken was on
August 13th, when the thermometer
marked 76 degrees below zero. The

Start on Oueat for Pole,
It was uu September t that eight
men and sevea sledges, 90 dugs aud
provisions tor four mouths, started
In the quest for the Pole. At this
time the ground was perfect for
sledge work, and the temperature
was not too severe.
The next day, however, they feared
that they had started too soon, for
the temperature began to fall and
reached between Da and 74 degrees
below zero, the fine equipment of
Amundsen and his men with furs
protected them from suffering, but
the dogs lost strength dally.
On account of the dogs Amundsen
determined to return to the winter
quarters and wait for spring. He
lost a few dogs, and a couple of his
men had their heelB frozen.
Spring Comes In Octolicr.
Spring appeared In the middle of
October. At this time the tempera
ture was from 4 to 28 degrees be
low zero. Amundsen, before starting,
however, changed the plan that alt
should go south, lie determined to
take only four men, and the other
three were detailed to start for the
east and visit King Edward VII
Land.
On October 20 the party which
was to seek the Pole started. Amund
sen, his four men, four Bledges and
it'i dogs and provisions for four
months was the strength of the ex
p Million.
The first part of the march was
made in easy stuges in order to con
serve the strength of the men and
animals. They made their depot in
the eightieth degree on the 23rd,
stopped but a short while, and went
on ahead, despite a dense fog.
Flags Serve as 4ulleN.
The flags they had planted on their
first trip served them in good stead
guides. The temperature re
mained steady at from 4 to 22 de
grees below zero. Amundsen had
intended to drive not more than 13
to 20 miles a day. but the dogs
were stroug and willing and this
work soon appeared to be too slow
for them. The speed was Increased
to the easy strength of the dogs.
Picking up their depots one after
another, they reached the eighty
third degree and established their
depot No. 4. On Novemb3r 13 they
reached the 84th degree and estab
lished another depot and on the 16th
another depot, where they reached
the mountainous country. The near
est summits along the barrier ranged
irom iuiit to 10,000 feet In helaht.
Othiy aiiminlta further south looked
to be 1 ii.OOO feet or more. At thlB
point they began to climb. The first
part of It was an easv ascent over
little slopes aud well filled mountain
sides and did not take long for the
wining nogs to work their wnv uu
When they met some small hut verv
steep glaciers 20 dogs were hitched
to each sledge and took the four
sledges ill two shifts. The first day
they climbed 2000 feet and the sec
ond day cuinped at the height of 4500

RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is causol liv an excess of uric acid in the Woo.!, which
gradually Rets into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other irregularities of the system uhu-h are sometimes
considered of no importance. This uric acid causes an infl.uned and irritated
condition of the Mood, and the circulation instead of nourishing- the different
Hrtintis of the IhhIv, continually deKsits into the nerves, muscles, tissues
and joints, the irritating-, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Klicu
mutism can only lie cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is
just what S. . S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral
izing the uric ncid and driving it front the blood, effectually and surely
removes the cause. S. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that
instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain anil agony thoughout the sys
tem, it becomes nn invigorating, nourishing fluid, ftimishini? health and
vigor to every fart of the body and relievinir the suflerinir caused bv this
disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and
salest cure for Klietiinutism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and

They reached 88 degrees, 39 minutes,

guinea sa degrees, 66 minutes; De-
oemoer n, 8 degrees, 15 minutes,
and on December 12 they reached 89
degrees, 30 minute's, only 35 miles
from the South Pole.
It was "on to the Pole" now, and
on December 13 a mark of 89 de
grees. 46 minutes, was. attained. Up
to this time the observations and
dead reckoning had agreed remark
ably well, and they figured they
should be at the Pole on December
Day Clear and licautiful.
To the gr at delight of Amundsen
and his hardy band the dav was rlesr
and beautiful, with onlv iichi
breeze from the southeast. The tem
perature was only 9.6 degrees.
Sledging was perfect and they
pushed on until 3 o'clock p. m., when
they came to a halt. According m
their reckoning they had reached
their destination.
The colors a beautiful silken fine
were broken out, and all hands
garnered around and took hold nf
the standard and planted it on the
spot. The last plateau was named

Observations Taken All Day.
The following day the fine weather
continued and observations were
taken from 6 o'clock In the morning
uu i ai nignt. Tne result gave them
ok uegrees. a; minutes. This was
really at the Pole, but In order to
observe the position as closelv as
possible, they traveled south for the
remaining six miles and camued on
tne true Pole. This was December
16.
I'nder the brilliant sun. members
of the party took observations every
nour or tne day for 24 hours. The
exact result of these observations
will be a matter for expert examina
tion, hut there Is no doubt in the
mind of Amundsen that they observed
the position of the' Pole as closely as
it is witnin human power.
Home liaised! on Pole
On December 17 the observations
were at an end. Amundsen and his
men fastened to the ground a tent
and broke from its ton the Nor
wegian flag and the pennant from the
Fram. it was a Norwegian home
raised on the South Pole and was
given the name of Polhelm.
The return trip began that dav and
the weather proved unusuallv favor
able. Winter quarters were reached
again on January 2.1, 1912. They
averaged 24 miles a day on the re
turn trip. The Fnfln left the Bay of
Wales on January 30 and. owing to
contrary winds, did not reach Tas
mania for more than a month. It
arrived safe, however, with all well
on board.
