SHOULD HAVE USED DOGS.
AMUNDSENS' VIEW. Now York, Wednesday. Captain Amundsen considers that Captain Scott and hia companions must have-; been exhausted and starving. Probably scurvy was rife among them when the blizzard came. It vvns a mistake not to have taken dogs. In their weakened condition, their sufferings must have been increased by dragging the sledges over the ice, unprotected form the merciless sweeping winds. "I cannot read Captain Scott's last message," ho added, "without emotion. I never met him personally, but he was a bravo man. Shackleton turned homeward just in time to Have his life."
