THE SCOTT EXPEDITION.
,'TO COST OVER £40,000.
Londow, September 14" Scott expects to return to England in 1912.
Lieut. Evans, navigating officer of two relief expeditions, will be second in command.
Many members cf the scientific staff and crew of 1901 will accompany Scott. His four motor sledges wifi be sufficiently long to bridge dangerous crevices.
Large sums have already been promised for the Scott expedition. Scott,. interviewed, said £40,000 was the minimum. He felt certain the overseas Dominions, particularly Australia »nd New Zealand, would furnish a good sum towards the expedition. They will be well represented on the staff. He mentioned the prospect of utilising ethergraphs between the ship and shore. Much depended as regards the completeness of the entire equipment of the expedition and a liberal and quick response to the appeal for funds. He hoped to enter the ice at the end of December.
