A striking design, the work of Mr. A. H. Lodge, R.B.S., has been unani- mously chosen by the Selection Committee for the London memorial to Captain Scott. The monument consists of a granite pylon, surmount, ed by a bronze group representing "Courage,'! sustained by "Patriot- ism." spurning "Fear, Despair and Death" On the back of the monu- ment is placed a trophy composed of a pair of snowshoes, a replica of the crosg erected on "Observation HHL™ and a wreath. Beneath are Captain Scott's' words -- "Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions, which would have rod the heart of every English- man." Forming a base to the pylon 8 a podium, on the four sides of which are placed bronze relief pan- els, depicting the chief incidents in the expedition. The subjects for these incidents take their title from the inscription at "'Obsérvation Hil" One, "To Strive," shows _the difecul- ties surthoynted on the journey: "To Seek," shows the start for the Pole; "To Find" shows the party at the Pole; while, "And Not to Yield" shows the tent covered with show, the last resting-place of the heroes.
