Show Celebrated Christmas on Way to North Pole CAPTAliN SCOTT and his men on their way to the Pole once celebrated cele-brated Christmas day by having a wash In a cupful of water each, and by washing theii shirts. On another occasion, after neing on short rations, they kept Christmas day by consuming consum-ing such luxuries as raisins and chocolates choc-olates for breakfast, and for supper they Indulged In four courses First of all, there was a full whack of pemmican with slices of horse meat flavored with onion and curry powder and thiclened with biscuit, then arrowroot ar-rowroot cocoa and biscuit hoosh sweetened, then plum pudding, then cocoa with raisins, and finally a dessert des-sert of caramels and ginger. "After all this," says Scott, "it was difficult to move. Wilson and I couldn't finish our share of the plum pud.licg. We felt thoroughly warm and slept splen didly.' But the advance was slow the following day owing, probably to the tightening of the night before. |
