Show NO TRACE OF SCOTT AT POLE amundsen admits it Is possible that english explorer had reached pole but hardly probable new yorka york A times special from II obart brings tho the news that captain amundsen has been induced to discuss tho the question of whether it Is likely he was preceded by captain scott to the pole captain amundsen Is quoted as aa saying 1 I saw no traces whatever showing that captain scott had been at the pole but it la Is possible that he iad had been there and had bad left some unsubstantial memorial which bad afterward been destroyed by the storms the chances however are h heavily against this theory tor for during the three days I 1 was there the weather was calm and still and I 1 think that Is the prevalent condition there was nothing but the vast leal plains of snow and hence enere was no possibility of erecting a permanent cairn of stories stones the season wag waa very favo favorable ea and therefore it Is exceedingly likely that captain scott did reach the pole later hiter it if not sooner than myself I 1 most sincerely hope he be did arrive there tor for lie he well deserves success |
