South Pole Reached

It is reported from Argentina that a Message has been received from the Antarctic Base by wireless that Mr Roald Amundsen together with Captain Scott R.N have reached the South Pole in a joint venture occasioned by the breakdown of Captain Scotts Dog Teams. It is reported that Mr Amundsen generously said to Capt. Scott, " Why dont you just come with us old chap, you wont make it on foot".

It goes on to say that Capt Scott gallantly accepted this most generous off and that as a result these two leaders are now credited with the conquest of the Southern Arctic region.

Further reports state that Capt Titus Oats (Inniskillings) is recovering from severe frostbite but is expected to make a speedy recoverry providing he does not attempt any walking about in those harsh conditions (Reuters)
