They had been cutting down food, because per haps they had taken inadequate sup plies owing to the fact that they them selves were dragging the loaded sledges. Captain Evans of the Terra Nova was stricken with icurvy a few days after his return. This shows that the germs of the disease . were present- Scurvy, inconceivable cold and low provisions then began their deadly work.
