South with Scott

E-text prepared by James Tenison
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.

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.
