(Copyright, 1912, by the New York Times Company--All rights re­ served. Published by special ar­ rangement.) Hobart, Tasmania, March 8.--On the 10th of February, 1911, we commenced to work our way toward the south, from that day to the 11th of April es­ tablishing three depots, which in all contained a quantity of provisions of about 3,000 kilos. One thousand six hundred kilos, including 1,100 kilos of seal meat, were cached in 80 degrees, 700 kilo* in 81 degrees and 800 kilos in 82 degrees south latitude. As no landmarks were to be seen, these depots were marked with flags, seven kilometers on each side in the easterly and westerly directions. The ground and the state of the barrier were of the best, and specially well adapted to driving with dogs. On February 16, we had thus traveled about 100 kilometers. The weight of the sledges was 300 kilos, and tbe num­ ber of dogs was six for each sledge. The surface of the barrier was smooth and fine with no sastrugi. The crev­ ices were very local and were found dangerous in only two pllsees. For the rest--long, smooth undulations. The weather was excellent, calm or a light breeze. The lowest temperature on these depot trips was minus 45 celsius or centigrade. (49 degrees be­ low zero, Fahrenheit). On the 4th of March, on our return from the first trip beginning on the 15th of February, we found out that tbe Fram had al­ ready left us. With pride and delight we beard that her smart captain had succeeded in sailing her furthest south and there hoisting the colors of his country--a glorious moment for bi-n and his comrades--the furthest north end the fu-thest south--good old*Fram. The highest south latitude attained was 78 degrees 41 minutes. Winter on the Ice Barrier. Before the arrival of winter we had €,000 kilos of seal meat in the depots, «nough for ourselves and 110 dogs. "Eight dog houses, a combination of tents and snow huts, were built Having cared for the dogs the turn cam-, to use our solid little hut. It was almost entirely covered with snow by tbe middle of ApriL First we had to get light and air. The Lux lamp, which had a power jf 200 standard candles gave us p bril­ liant light and kept the temperature up to 20 degrees celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) throughout the winter, .and our excellent ventilation system gave us all the air we wanted. In direct communication with the hut and dug-out on the Barrier were work shops, packing rooms, cellars for provisions, coal, wood and oil, a plain bath, a steam bath and observatories. Thus we had everything within doors if the weather should be too cold and stormy. The sun left us on tbe 22d of April and did not return until four months .later. ' The winter waa spent in changing our whole outfit, which on the depot trips was found to be too clumsy and solid for the smooth surface of the Barrier. Besides this, as much scien­ tific work as possible was done, and some astonishing meteorological obser­ vations were taken. Open Water All Winter, There was very little snow, and i lier'* was open water close by through­ out the winter. For the same reason higher temperature had been expected, but it remained Very low. In five months there were observed temperatures between minus 50 and 60 degrees celsius (58 and 76 degrees below zero Fahrenheit), the lowest temperature on the 13th of August being minus 69 degrees celsius. It was tfaen calm. On the 1st of August the temperature was minus 58 degrees celsius, and there were six meters of wind. The mean temperature for the year was minus 26 degrees celsius (14.8 below zero Fahrenheit) I had expected hurricane after hurri­ cane, but 1 observed only two moderate storms and many excellent auroraa- australi.'n--In all directions. The sanitary conditions were of the best til the winter and when the sun returneu on the 24th of August it met the men sound in mind and body ready to set about the task that had to be solved. Already, the day before, we had brought our sledges to the starting place for our search toward the south. Only in the beginning of September did the temperature rise to such an extent that there was any question of setting out then. The First Start for the Pole. On the 8th of September, eight men, with seven sledges, ninety dogs, and provisions for four months, started. The ground was perfect. The temper­ ature was not bad. The next day it appeared that we had started too early, as the' temperature of the following days fell and kept steadily between minus 50 and 60 celsius (58 degrees and 76 degrees below zero Fahren­ heit). Personally we did not suffer at all from the cold. Our good furs pro­ tected u^. But with our dogs it was a different matter. It could easily be seen that they shrunk from day to day, and we understood pretty soon that they could not stand the long run to our depot at 80 degrees south. Only in the middle of October spring came 1 earnest Seals and birds ap­ peared. The temperature was steady betweer 20 and 30 celsius 168 de­ grees and 86 degrees Fahrenheit.) The original plan that all of us should go toward the south had been changed. Five men had to do this work, while the other three were to start for the east and visit Kin^ Ed­ ward VII. Land. This last mentioned trip was not included in our program, but, owing to tne fac. that the English had not reached it, at least this summer, as was their Intention, we agreed that the best thing to do was also tc make this trip. On October 20 the southern party started--five men, four iledges, fifty- two dogs, and provisions for four months--everything in excellent order. The Journey to the Pole. We had made up our minds to take the first part of the trip as easily as possible, in order to give ourselves and the dogs a rational training, end on the 23d we made our depot in 80 degrees south. We went right ahead. In spite of the dense fog, an error of two to three kilotbeters happened once in awhile, but we were caught by the flag marks, and found these jn our way without difficulty. Having rested and fed the dogs on all the seal meat they were able to eat, we started again on the 26th, with the temperature steadily between minus 20 and 30 celsius (4 degrees and 22 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.) From the start it was the intention not to drive more than 30 kilometers a day, but it appeared that this was too little for our strong, willing ani­ mals. At 80 degrees south we began to build snow cairns of a man's height, in order to have marks on our return trip. On the 31st we reached the depot at 81 degrees, and stopped one day, and fed the dogs on as much pemmi- can as they wanted. We reached the depot at 82 degrees on the 5th of November, where the dogs for the last time got all they wanted to eat On the 6th, southward again, with a daily march of 60 kilo­ meters. In order to lighten our heavy sledges we established depots at each degree of south latitude. Like a Pleasure Trip. Tbe trip from 82 to 85 degrees, be­ came a pleasure trip--excellent ground, fine sledging, and an even temperature. Everything went like a dance. On the ninth we sighted South Vic­ toria land and the continuation of the mountain range which Sir Ernest Shackleton mentioned in his chart as running toward the southeast from the Beardmore glacier, and on the same day we reached 83 degrees and established here depot No. 4. On the eleventh we made the interesting dis­ covery that the Ross Barrier termi­ nated la » bight toward tbe south­ east at 86 degrees south latitude and 163 degrees west longitude, formed be­ tween the southeast mountain range running from South Victoria land and a range on the opposite side running in a southwesterly direction--probably a continuation of King Edward VII. land. On the thirteenth we reached 84 de­ grees where we established a depot; on the sixteenth we were at 85 de­ grees, where, also, we made a depot From our winter quarters, "^Vam- helm," 78 degrees 38 minutes south latitude, we had' been marching due south. On the seventeenth of Novem­ ber, at 85 degrees, we arrived at ft place where the land and barrier were connected. This was done without any great difficulty. The barrier here rises in undulations to about 300 feet Some few big crevloes indicated the limited boundary. Here we made our head depot, ta­ king provisions for sixty days on sledges and leaving thirty days' provi­ sions on the spqt Tbe land under which we lay, and which we now had to attack, looked quite imposing. The nearest summits along the barrier had a height or from 2,000 to 10,000 feet, but several others farther south were 15,000 feet or more. The next day we began to climb. The first part of it was an easy task --light stops and well filled mountain­ sides. It did not take a long time, for our willing dogs worked their way up. Further up, we met with some small but very steep glaciers. Here we had to harness 20 dogs to each sledge and take the four sledges In two turns in some places it was so steep that It was difficult enough to use our skis. Some big crevices forced us lrom time to time to make detours. The first day we climbed 2,000 feet, the next day mostly up some small gla­ ciers, ciunplng at a height ot 4,500 feet The third day we were obliged to go down on a mighty glacier, "Axel Heibergs Glacier," which divided the coast mountains and the moun­ tains farther south. The next day began the longest part of our climb. Many detours bad to be made in order to avoid board cracks and open crevices. Glaciers Source of Peril. These were aparently mostly filled up, as the glaciers in all probability had long ago stopped motlng, but we had to be careful, never knowing for certain how thick was the layer that covered them. Our camp that night lay in pic­ turesque surroundings at a height of 5,000 feet. The glacier here was nar­ rowed in between the two 15,000 feet high mountains, the Fridtjof Nanseu and the Don Pedro Chrlstophersen. From the bottom of the glacier rose Mount Ole Englstad, a big snow cone 13,500 feet high. The glacier was much broken in this comparatively narrow pass. The mighty crevices seemed to stop us from going farther, but it was not so serious as it ap­ peared. Our dogs, which up to this time bad covered a distance of about 700 kilo­ meters. the last day's very bard work, ran this day thirty-five kilometers, the ascent being 5,600 teet--an almost in­ credible record. It took us only four days from the barrier to get up on the vast inland plateau. We camped that night at a height of 10,600 feet. Here we had to kill 24 of our brave companions and keep 18, six for each of our three sledges. We stopped here four days on ac­ count of bad weather. Tired of this, we set out on the 25th of November. On the 26th, in a furious blizzard and in a dense snowdrift, absolutely nothing was to be seen, but we felt that, contrary to expectations, we were going fast downhill. Tbe hypso- meter gave us that day a descent of 600 feet. Faces Frozen During Gale. We continued our march the next day in a gale, and a dense snowdrift got our faces badly frozen. We could see nothing. We reached that day 86 degrees dead reckoning. The hypsometer In­ dicated a fail of 800 feet The next day was similar. Tbe weather cleared a little at din­ ner time and exposed to our vlow a mighty mountain range to the east^ and not fur off, only for a moment, and then it disappeared in the dense snowdrift. On the 29th it calmed down and the sun sbone, though it was not the only pleasant surprise he gave us. in our course stretched a big glacier run­ ning toward the south. Discover Mountain Range. At its eastern end" was the mountain range going in a southeasterly direc­ tion. Of the western part of it no view was to be had, it being hidden in the dense fog. At the foot of thia glacier, the Devil's glacier, a depot for six days was established at 86.21 degrees south latitude. The hypsometer Indicated 8,000 feet above sea level On November 30 we began to climb tbe glacier. The lower part ctf it was much Droken and dangaruvts. More­ over, the snow bridges often burst From oar camp that night v* bad a splendid view over the mountain top to tbe east. See Many Great Peak®. There was "Helmer Nansen's sum­ mit," tbe most remarkable of them all. It waa 12,000 feet high and covered with such broken glaciers that in all probability no foothold was to be found. "Oscar Wistings," "Sverre- ha&ses," And "Oiav HJanlands" moun­ tains also lay here beautifully illu­ minated in the rays of the bright sun. In tbe distance only alternately to be viewed In the fog appeared from time to time "Mount Nelson" with its summits and peaks, about 15,000 feet high. We only saw the nearest sur­ roundings. It took as three days to surmount the Devil's glacier, always in misty weather. On the first of December we left this broken glacier, with holes and crevices without number, with its height of 9,100 feet Before us, look­ ing, in the mist and snowdrift, like a frozen sea, appeared a light, sloping ice plateau filled with small hum­ mocks. Man and Dogs Pall in Sea. The walk over this frozen sea was not pleasant. The ground under us was quite hollow, and it sounded as though we were walking on the bot­ toms of empty barrels. As it was, a mas fell through, with a couple of dogs. We could not use our skis on this polished Ice. Sledges had the best of it This place got the name of the "Devil's Dancing Room." This part of our march was the most unpleasant. On December 6 we got our greatest height, according to the hypsometer and steroid, 10,760 feet, at 87 de­ grees 40 mingles south. On December 8 we cane out of the bad weather. Once again the sun smiled down on us. Once again we could get an observation. Dead reck­ oning and observation were exactly alike--88 degrees, 88 minutes, 16.6 sec­ onds south. Before us lay an absolutely plain plateau, only here and there market^ with a tiny sastrugi. Establish Last Depot. In the afternoon we passed 88 de­ grees 23 minutes (Shackleton's fur­ thest south was 88 degrees 25 min­ utes). We camped and established our last depot, depot No. 10. From «u degrees 25 minutes the plateau began to slope down very gently and smooth ly toward the other side. Up to this time the observations and dead reckoning agreed remarka­ bly well and we made out that we ought to be at the pole on December 14 In tbe afternoon. That day was a beautiful one--a light breeze from the southwest, the temperature minus 23 celsius (V.4 de­ grees below zero Fahrenheit) and the ground and sledging were perfect The day went along as usual, and at three p. m. we made a halt According to our reckoning we had reached our destination. All of us gathered around the colors--a beauti­ ful silk fiag--all hands taking hold of it and planting it Name Plateau King Haakon VII. Tbe vast plateau on which the pole is standing got the name of the "King Haakon VII. Plateau." It Is a vast plain, alike in r'l directions; mile after mile during the night we circled around the* camp. In tbe fine weather we spent the fol­ lowing day taking a series of obser­ vations frqm six a. m. to seven p. m. Tbe result gave us 89 degrees 58 min­ utes. In order to observe the pole as close as possible we traveled, as near south as possible, the remaining nine kilo­ meters. On December 16 there we camped. It was an excellent opportunity. There was a brilliant sun. Four of us took observations every hour of the day's twenty-four hours. The exact result will be the matter of a nrofessional private report. This much is certain--that we ob­ served the pole as close as It is in human power to do it with the instru­ ments we had--a sextant and an arti­ ficial horizon. On December 17 every­ thing was in order on the spot. We fastened to the ground a little tent we had brought 'along, a Norwegian flag and the Fram pendant on tbe top of it. The Norwegian home at the south pole was called "Polhelm." The distance from our winter quar­ ters to the pole was about 1,400 kilo­ meters. The average march a day was 26 kilometers. 8tart on Return Trip. We started on the return trip on the 17th of December. Unusually fa­ vorable weather made our way home considerably easier than the Journey to the pole. We arrived at our winter quarters, "Framheim," on the 25tb of January, 1912, with two sledges and eleven dogs, all well. The daily average speed on the re­ turn trip was 36 kilometers; the low­ est temperature was minus 31 celsius (23.8 degrees below zero Fahrenheit); the highest, minus 5 celsius (i!3 de­ grees above zero Fahrenheit). Among the results are the deter­ mination of the extent and character of the Ross Barrier, and the discovery of the connection of South Victoria land and probably King Kdward VII. land, with their continuation in the mighty mountains running toward the southeast, which were observed as far as 88 degrees south, but which in all probability continue across the antarc tic continent The entire length of the newly dis covered mountains is about 8o0 kilo­ meters. They have been named "Queen Maud's Range. ' Confirm Scott's Discoveries. The expedition to King Edward VII. land under the command of Lieuten­ ant Prestud, "has given excellent re­ sults. Scott's discoveries have been confirmed and the survey of the Bay of Whales and of the barrier dome by the Prestund party are of great tnter- eSA good geological collection from King Edward VII., and South Victoria land is being brought home. The Fram arrived at the Bay of Whales on the ninth of January. She had been delayed by the "roaring for­ ties" on account of the easterly winds. On January 16 the Japanese expedi­ tion arrived at the Bay of Whales and landed on the barrier near our winter quarters. We left the Bay of Whales on January 30. It was a long voyage, with contrary winds. All are well. EARLIER ATTEMPTS TO REACH 80UTH POLE. Year. Explorer. Deg. Mln. 1774--Capt. Cook 71 15 1823--Capt. Wedded 74 18 1842--Capt.

AMUNDSEN Arctlo Exploration Has Been the Dream of His Life Since Early Manhood. Roald Amundsen, now about 40 years old, has proved himself one of the most competent explorers. Be­ sides reaching the south pole he Is the first and only man to accomplish the long attempted feat of taking a ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the northwest passage. He has made at a point within a short dis­ tance of the magnetic pole the only set of complete pol&r magnetic ob­ servations ever taken. Amundsen was bom at Sarpsburg, Norway, and In his childhood moved with his parents to Chrtstiania. His parents destined him for medicine. For one year he was a medical stu­ dent, but at his mother's death, when he was 19 years old, he gave up the Intended career and went to sea. For a number of years he cruised in the north as a whaler and sealer on Nor­ wegian vessels. Amundsen had his first taste of exploration when in 1897 he went as first officer with the Belgica on Oer- lach's Belgian polar expedition. From what he learned of the work and ad­ venture of exploring on this trip and from the second Norwegian polar ex­ pedition of 1898, he became filled with arctic ambitions o{ his own. He formed the project not of attaining the geo­ graphic pole sought by so many, but of trying the long-neglected northwest passage and approaching and study­ ing while on his way the little-known magnetic pole. It took Amundsen several years to prepare himself for his trip. For two years he studied, first in Hamburg un­ der Neumayer, authority on magnet­ ism; in Berlin under Schmidt, and finally at Wilhelmshafen under Bor- gen in the meteorological station. His mental preparation over, he Bpent two years more in raising funds and out­ fitting his expedition. The Amundsen magnetic expedition was perhaps the most modestly ap­ pointed that ever went for purposes of discovery into the arduous field of the arctic. Its cost' was $30,000, a large part of this Amundsen's own money. Frithjof Nansen, tbe Norwe­ gian polar explorer, a close friend and faithful helper of Amundsen, helped raise another large part. Amundsen was finally able to put off from Chris- tiania in the little 47-ton sloop QJoa on June 17. 1903. Voyage of GJoa. The Gjoa sailed around the north end of America, reaching the mouth of the Mackenzie river about Septem­ ber 8, 1905. It went by way of Baf­ fin's bay, Lancaster sound. Barrow strait. Peel sound, James Ross strait and Rae strait Twice it wintered In the ice. For a period of many months during this voyage Amundsen main­ tained an observatory on King Wil­ liams land, at latitude 68 degrees 30 minutes, longitude 90 degrees west, within 90 miles, as he calculated, of the magnetic pole. The northwest trip, fulfilling the dream of the early navigator, brought Amundsen great renown. He then planned an expedition to drift around to the North Polar sea, but changed his mind after starting and went to find the Antarctic pole. Th« last word which was heard from Amundsen before bis dash to the pole was. received In New York on July 8, 1911. After describing the splendid qualities of the Fram during Its 16,000-mile voyage, and the care taken of the 100 Eskimo dogs, which had become 115 fct the time of landing, he said: "We sighted the mighty barrier at 2:30 p. m. Jan. 11. One would be less than human If one could behold such a sight unmoved. As far as tbe eye can Bee, from western to eastern hori­ zon. this wall of ice rises perpendicu­ larly to a height of 100 feet. And yet It Is only a very small part of It that one sees What must the man have thought who first came upon this wall, and for whom all further advance seemed an impossibility? It was one of the world's boldest^ and cleverest sailors (not to say the cleverest of them all), James Clark Ross, who. after making his way through the Ice pack with his two sailing vessels, the Erebus and the Terror, came, in Feb­ ruary, 1842. upon this remarkable fee wall Even at that time he observed the great bay, but, of course, did not venture Into it with sailing vessels. For years after the Barrier was re­ garded as a bar to all further advance southward. • Solace. Jan Kubelik, the viollnut, fond of telling a joke on himself. At a social function in Paris, at the home of a grand dame who entertained ail sorts of celebrities, he was presented to a lady who, as often happens, aid not catch his name.

"I thought so," was the reply. "But of course he is much younger than you." "IndC=e<3said the eminent artist. Then, thinking perhaps to smooth things over, the lady added: "Hut perhaps you are better look­ ing." AilE YOU GOING to fumm THIS SPRING?

Writing from the vicinity David Harum luade famous, a man says that he was an habitual coffee drinker, and, although he knew it was doing him harm, was too obstinate to give it up, till all at_once he went to pieces with nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap­ petite, weakness, and a generally used-up feeling, which practically un­ fitted hjm for his arduous Dceupaticn, and kept him on a couch at home when his duty did not call him out.
