THE HISTORY OF THE EXPEDITION.
THE RELIEF PARTIES. The history of the expedition is as follows: Before the Terra Nova left for New Zealand last March, Surgeon Atkinson, who had been left in charge of the western party until Scott's return, despatched Garrard and Dimetri, dog-drivers, with two dog teams, to assist the southern party, whose return to Hut Point was expected about March 10,1912. Dr. Atkinson would have accompanied this party, but was kept back in medical charge of Lieutenant Evans, second in command, who, it will be remembered, nearly died of scurvy.
