Man. — Exhaustion and not starvation was the cause of the death of Captain Scott and the men who died with him on hia way back from the South Pole, according to Lieutenant Gran, a member of the supporting party which found the bod ies of the party in the frozen Antarc tic. Lieutenant Gran stopped off in this city for a few hours on his way to London.. “The end of the party was peace ful,” declared Gran. “When we came up to the tent in which the bodies were, all was silent. “The snow had drifted about the tent and something seemed to tell that the end for them had come. All about us were desolate wastes of snow and ice and a chill came over our hearts. “Lieutenant Wright, of Toronto, a Canadian, who commanded our little party, approached the tent first and lifted the flag. We followed, expect ing the worst, and formed in a little group about the mouth of the tent. Captain Scott lay on his back as if asleep, but outside of his sleeping bag. The bodies of Dr. Wilson and Lieu tenant Bowers were in their sleeping bags and it was apparent that they had been carefully wrapped up by Captain Scott, who evidently was the last to die. “Lieutenant Bowers lay on his side, exactly as if he were asleep. Dr. Wilson was sitting in a half-reclining position, his back against the inside of the tent, facing us as we entered. On his features were traces of a faint smile and looked exactly as if he were about to awaken from a sound sleep. I had often seen the same look on his face in the morning as he awakened, as he was of a most cheerful disposi tion. The look struck us to the heart and we all stood silent in the presence of death. “While they did not die of starva tion. still all their food had given out, and, worst of all, their fuel,” he said. “Then it must be remembered that they were experiencing terrible storms, and a man cannot see in any direction when these storms are blow ing. “When we had secured all the equip ment and the records of Captain Scott, we laid the bodies side by side and said a burial service for them. Then we removed the poles from the tent and covered the bodies over with the canvas. On top of this we built a cairn of snow and ice about 15 feet high. We then took two skis, bound them together in the form of a cross, erected it on top of the cairn—a last memorial to the dead — and left them where they fell.” Gran has in his possession Scott’s diary and records.
