Amundsen know of it, event assuming it to be correct? Does Amundsen say he reached the pole himself? Mrs, Scott asked. No, the message is simply that Scott reached the pole, which suggests himself supplanted. But I don't see how he could know that unless he had been there him- self, Mra, Scott declared. do not think, Mrs. Scott went on, that Captain Amundsen can pos- sibly know anything about it, and even if he did, he had no right to dis- close the news before Captain Scott ho said that ; OFFER .

Iv it 8 not true it will injure Capt. Scott and bring discredit, on the, country. Other nationalities are striving to find the south pole and if you say that Captain Scott has succeeded and it later on turned out to be not true, there is. probably no end. to injury which will promptly-start. If it is true, but at present i do not believe it?

At the Royal Geographical the. pre- vailing note, it was pointed out, one reason for distrusting the accuracy Ronald Amundsen, Norwelan explor- er, doenics having telegraphed. any- thing regarding Capt. Robert Scott or the Britieh expedition. Capt: Amundson up to the present is the only member of Antarctic ex- pedition who has landed from the Fyam. Nobody is allowed to go on board the vessel under-any pretext whatever. The explorer says he is pleased with results of his expedition but otherwise maintains absolute sil- ence.on the subject. Captain Amundsen intenisto stay at Hobart for a few days. He will then go to Australia and give a tew ectures there, afterwards departing for Burope-by the circuitous route of Buenos Ayres, then around Cape Horn up to the Behring Straits and through the Northwest passage and the Aretic Ocean.
