SCOTT'S FINAL WORDS (Continued from pay.o 1.) hires ami iirfaee which we encoun tered at-thih time of the year. On the summit, in latitude S5 degrees to latitude SO degrees, we Had minus 'JO to minus HO. "On the barrier, in lnttiluilc S2.10, a thousand feet lower, we had minus HO during the day mid minus -17 at night pretty regularly, with u contin uous heavy wind during the day marches. Theo eireiim-Jtunces eame on very" suddenly and our wreck was certainly due to this sudden advent of severe weather. Storm Is Fntal "I don't think Jiiimnn beings ever came through suchpinntlm of snffer ing wo have come through, nnd we .should have got thnunrli despite the weather hut for the sickening of our mates, shortage of fuel in deKtn for which I ennnot account, nnd tinnlly but for the storm which lias fallen on us within 11 miles of this deiMtt, at which we hoped to secure iinal supplies. "Surely misfortune could scarcely have exceeded lliis Inst blow. We arrived within 11 miles of our old Ono Ton camp with fuel for one hot meal nnd food for two days. For four days we have been unable to leave the tent and a terrific gale has been blowing about us. We are weak. Writing is difficult. "But for our own sake 1 do not regret this journey which has shown us that KnglMimcn can endure hard ships, help ono another nnd meet death with as great fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks. We know wo took them. Things hnvo come ont ngninst us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint. Wo liow to the will of providence, de termined still to do our host until the last. Pleads for Dejiendants "Hut if we hnvo been willing to give our lives to this caimc, which is not altogether our cause, I appeal to our countrymen to seo that those who depend upon us nro projwrly cured for. Had we lived I should Imve had a talc to tell of the hardihood, endur ance mid courago of my companions wlu'eli would hnvo stirred the heart of nil Englishmen. "Tlieso rough notes on our dead bodies must toll the lulu but surely u rich country like ours will see that those who depend upon us nro prop erly provided for. "(Signed) It.

"Antarctic travel," said Vice Presi dent Fienhfield, of lliii lloynl Geo graphical society, "would not bo what it is a training ground for tho high est qualities of tho Uritish race if these perils could bo avoided." Tho heroic deeds of Scott and his party has caused a glow of pride in every Englishman that sting of death cannot dim and tho nation's patriotic spirit is moro aroused over the affair than by any happening of recent yen re. , w Christian Meeting.
