Captain rtaold Amundsen, the explorer accredited with the discovery of the south pole, has Issued a statement in which he declares that he and bis party reached the south polo on December 14, 1911, and that the purty spent three days at the pole, where the flag of Norway was planted. Captain Amundsen says the pole la situated on a vast plateau, which stretches away in either direction for mllcB and miles. The explorer whose name will go down through the centuries to come for his contribution to the world's greatest discoveries, has given the story of bis journey to the world in his characteristic simple and unassuming way, and that story seems to have been generally accepted as the unadulterated truth. The last stages of the Journey eem to have been the most difficult, tarring the last days, for the explorers. The real dash for the pole began on February 10, 1911, when the party began to work its way south, establishing food depots on the way. For four mouths from April 22 the party did not see the sun, but this winter season seems not to have caused any great hardship, except to the dogs, while the time was profitably spent in come astonishing metThere was eorological observations. very little snow, and there was open water by the camp of the exploring party throughout the winter.

Captain Amundsen ordered a return to their winter hut to wait for spring weather, which did not come until the inidille of October. men of the par. five On October ty started on the final dash for the pole, having four sledges, fifty-twdogs and provisions for four months.

Amundtien had his first taste of ex ploration when in 1897 he went as s first officer with the Delgica on Belgian polar expedition. From what he learned of the work and adventure of exploring on this trip and from the second Norwegian polar expedition of 1898. he became filled with arctic ambitions of bis own. He formed the project not of attaining the geographic pole sought by so many, but of trying the long neglected northwest passage and approaching and studying while on his way the little-knowmagnetic pole. It took Amundsen several yean to prepare himself for bis trip. For two years he studied, first In Hamburg under Neumayer, authority on magnetism.
