Transcriber's note:

Our author had a very "informal" approach to grammar and syntax;
so apparently did his editor. I corrected several obvious errors
in the book and listed them at the end of the text. Many more
doubtful spellings and countless abbreviations remain as they
appear in the text.

I have deleted the symbols for "degree" "minute" and "second"
which appear regularly throughout the text and substituted the
full word. The symbols + and - in relation to temperature are
retained.

PREFACE

The object of this book is to keep alive the interest of English-speaking
people in the story of Scott and his little band of sailor-adventurers,
scientific explorers, and companions. It is written more particularly for
Britain's younger generations.

I have to acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of Miss Zeala
Wakeford Cox of Shanghai and Pay-master Lieutenant-Commander Bernard
Carter of H.M.S. "Carlisle."

Without their help, I doubt if the book would have found its way into
print.
