LONDON, March S? So*;th loleltf
covered.
For many day* pa~t thia me<sa*r
has. been expects to ctune fashing!
over the wire* that ei:circle the globe.
The announcement which arrived
yesterday telling of the discovery of
the Sooth pole by Cnpt. Scott is an
>tfier victory for England.
Five expedition* , rarrytng the stand
arris o f a? many different countries, j
have been battling against the cod
ami Ice cf the Antarctic for more
than two years, and the first <-t
them has been expected to return In
touch with "the outside wor'fd" about
this time.
Stewart's island, south of New Zea
land. Is the first habitation reached
by the explorers on their return tripe
A telephone connect* the island with
New Zealand, from where cablegrams
will be sent out.
In this great five-cornered competi
tion for the fake of scicnce, and In
cidentally fame, the most celebrated
contestants arv Captawi Robert Pal
con Scott of England and Captain
Roald Anwmdsen of Norway. The
AjKttralian, Maw-son, is leading a
third band, and the Japanese and
German earpeditloiw complete the en
try list in the unprecedented race.
Never before have so many expedi
tions been In either polar region at
one time.
"Competition is called the life of
trade," said Sir fir no* t Shackleford
today, "I beHeve that the spirit
of contest must havo exercised such
an influence over the rival expedi
tions as to si>ur at leant one of them
to achieving the goal." Sir Shackle
ton is the English Antarctic explorer
who In 1909 attained the "farthest
south." gettiinju to latitude 88 de
crees 23 minutes south, or within
110 miles of the pole.
"My national pride makes me hap
py that Scott beat out Amundsen,"
he said, "and I have such confidence
In htm that I believe he haa reached
the pole whether Amundsen will or
not. I know so lit tie about the Ger
man,' Australian and Japanese expedi
tions that I cannot justly speculate
on their success, but I do not believe
personally that any of them has
done as well as either Scott or Amund
sen."
