Feb. 14 The following la the official account of the doings of the Brltleh AntaTCtlo expedition of 1910. compiled by Commander Evans from Captain Soott'a personal diary and official records of the expedition: On Jan.

4. 1912, Commander Evans left Captain Scott and his four companions to continue the Journey to the Pol. Captain Scott's party marched an average of twelve miles a day all the way to the Pole and jeached the Pole on Jan. 17, about 156 statute miles from the spot where Commander Evans turned. In 87 degrees 35 minutes.

The first, day at the Pole was cloudy, with a mock eun. The second day, Jan. 18, was clearer and eun visible. Sights were taken, for which purpose Scott used four Inch theodolite. Captain Amundsen used a sextant with an artificial Ihorl xon.

The fixing of he Pole by the two explorers differed by only half a mile, practically locating 'the same spot. Scott's observations gave latitude 89, degrees E9 minutes. The party marched the extra half mile, taking with them their motor sledge, and there planted the Union Jack in latitude 90. They had previously picked up Norwegian dog tracks, and they followed these to the Norwegian camp, which was situated within three miles of the Pole. The track of the Norwegian dogs was obliterated by drifts at intervals.

The party found all the records and the gear left by Amund en. Sastrugl from two directions marked at the Pole, gave evidence of a slight bllizarj since Amundsen erected his tent The temperature at the Pole was about 20 degrees below zero. The surface, like that of the barrier, waa soft, no crust. It was found that snow collected from any depth, on melting, was also unlike the barrier now, and gave very little matter. Ten photographs of Captain Scott and his party were taken at the Pole.

The films were recovered and developed at Cape Evans, together with two photographs of the Norwegian tent as Captain Scott's party found It. Leaving Buckley Island and going down the glacier they passed Mount Klnsey, a magnificent dolemite peak having an altitude of 11,000 feet and forming an admirable steering point. When they reached a small depot under Cloudmaker Mountain they made another halt for geological investigation. From the side of Cloudmaker Mountain fossils, of much greater age were found in the light stone and a total of 35 pounds of geological specimens were carefully packed. These specimens were taken forward by the party to their laat camp and are now in the possession of the expedition.

From Cloudmaker Mountain to the foot of Beardmore Glacier the surfaces encountered by the party consisted of the same deep snow as on the way up and this fact, together with bad weather, severely hampered their The weather was about normally thick, with snow crystals falling, the surrounding land being only occasionally visible. Death of Evana. Captain Scott dates the beginning of the failure of Petty Officer Edgar Evans from the time of reaching the Pcle. lie was a great anxiety to them on the plateau and in the descent of the Beardmore Glacier; when the party got amongst very rough ice Evans fell, injuring his head and sustaining serious concussion. Durinar the whole of the descent his comVlon delayed the party, the surplus gradually diminished when, on February 17, while on the march.

Evans' foot worked out of his ski and he was compelled to fall out to adjust it. The party moved along and, seeing he was not following, they camped and cooked a meal, anticipating that Evans would soon reach the tent When the meal waa ready and he had not arrived the party went back and found him in a atate of collapse. He bravely tried to go forward, but had to be placed on a aledge, and died a natural death with In two hours of reaching the tent. This delay, as the captain stated In his diary, greatly weakned the party and made an Inroad into their surplus provision, which was serious in view of the fact that the season was unduly advanced. Retnrn Journey.

Tha return Journey over the plateau was marked by a aeries of good marches In medium weather. The temperature averaged between 20 and 30 degrees below zero, and the marches varied up to IS miles dally to tha top of Beardmore Glacier. Both the depot on the plateau, one 89 degrees south and the other under Mount Darwin. 85 degrees seven minutes south, were secured. Before descending Beardmore Glacier Dr.

Wilson and Lieutenant Bowera visited Buckley Island and climbed to a large nunatak at the top of the glacier. Here they spent some time making a large collection of fossil bearing sandstone and coal in quantities. The fossils should finally settle the age of the latest sedimentary deposits yet found In Victoria Land, and certainly ore the best ever obtained In' thla quadrant Owing to the lateness of the season and the subsequent fallins temperature, the urface became Ilk, as ia well known in colder climate, lea crystals which melt under the friction caused by a aledse Tormina; over them at higher temperature ceased to do so when tha thenmometer falls to 30 below zero, and become cutting edges. The low temperature complained of by Scott accounts far the slowness of the party's progress over the barrier. The distance between depots waa 65 miles, which now, allowing for the bad weather, meant that the party average over nine miles a day.

The fuel and food stored at each depot gave a full ration at this for a week. The best day's march of the southern party on the barter was approximately nine miles, failing at late stages of the maroh as low elitht miles. The failure to maintain a higher speed waa undoubtedly due to the falling condition of Captain Oates, this being a constant tax on "the energies of the party and rapidly weakened them at1 a time when they had to face persistent winds and frequent blizzards. But despite the hopeless nature of the outlook forced on (hem, they never relinquished their gallant etrusftle, but fought on heroically Ho the bluer end.

"The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away.

Blessed be the name of the Lord." ii This record wa ssigned by all members of the searching party. Surgeon Atkinson stated that no symptom of scurvy existed. All the records of the southern party having been collected, the whole search party proceeded 23 miles south to search for the body of Captain Oates, but no trace of it was found. Near the spot of his departure from his comrades a cross and calm were erected, and the following record left on the cairn: "Hereabouts died the very gallant gentleman, Captain R. E.

Seven mules suppplled by the Indian government were used by the search party. Their rations consisted of 11 pounds of oil cake and oats, in the proportion of one of oil cake to two of oata. The speed of the march averaged better than that of the ponies of the previous year. From the start the daily marchea averaged 14 miles.

The aurfacea on the outward Journey were exceptionally good, and the mules made good progress without sinking deeply. Deep enow wai encountered on the return and the going was much heavier. Meagre Rations. The cnlef difficulty tn connection with the mules was that they would not eat anything except their rations. The food of some consisted of rope yarn, tea leaves, man's and God's bls yarn, and tobacco ashes.

The weights hauled by the mulea were much heavier than by the poniea, the highest weight at one time amounting to 760 pounda. The gear supplied by the Indian government showed great forethought, and only had to be altered in very slight ways. The snow goggles were especially useful and a great comfort to the animals. The harness was breast harness. Two mules were ahot on the barrier and five returned after three hundred and fifty milea of hard pulling in temperature falling to 29 below aero.

There were two dogs out of 11 dogs each. Eighteen of the twenty two whiinlt w. brou sht down In th tlxml year and all the stores were brought safely back to the deprft at Hut Point. The care of the mules devolved upon Lashley. His constant attention kept them in good order.

A detailed record was kept by him. showing the performance of each mule during the winter and also during the travelling season. This record will be sent to the supply transport department of the Indian government, who trained the mules for the expedition. The health of the search party throughout was excellent. (Signed) E.

R. O. EVANS. Commander, Royal Navy, Commanding Expedition. Glorious I'ne Jn History LONDON, Feb.

14. A despatch to the Dally Mail trom Christchurch ways that full details of Scott's return Journey will reveal a still more glorious page of history when they are published than the brief official narrative. "It Is stated," says the Daily Mail, "that Petty Officer Evans was assisted by his comrades from the Pole until hl death, and that every ounce of food was exhausted long before death came to Scott's party. Only a small quantity of tea was found with the bodies, which were discovered in the following positions: Scott sitting with his back to the tent pole. Between nis head and the pole he had placed his diary as a support to his head.

Dr. Wilson and Lieut. Bowers were lying dn their Bleeping bags. "Possibly an expedition will be sent for the bodies next summer. A memorial cross to Scott, Wilson and Bowers was erected on Observation Hill.

It was constructed of Jarrah wood and will lat for ages." Members of the expedition indicate the possibility of disappointment at Amundsen forestalling them, took the "stiffening" out of Scott's party for the return journey. While descending Beardmore Glacier the ice was found to be terribly rough, and many obstructions 10 to 12 feet high had to be climbed, which resulted In the explorers toeing badly bruised or strained. Commander Evans denies that the explorers died of scurvy. He says that death was due to exposure and weakness. The members of Lieut.

Campbell's northern party are In magnificent health. They had a regular physical drill. Their only literature was "David Copperfield," of which one chapter was read aloud dally. It is doubtful whether any of the difficulties of Scott and his party will be published before the history of the expedition appears in book form. Surgeon Atkinson, who organizes the search, party, refused to give any information beyond the official narrative.

The steamer Aorangl is still out of the range of wireless communication, and therefore It is probable that Mra. Scott, widow of the explorer, who la a passenger, has not yet been Informed of her husband's sad end. Commander Evans In a despatch to frte Dally Chronicle says the whole history of the expedition certainly will be given to the public In due course of time.
