'They Were Forced To Drag Their Own Sleigh', c1929. 'They Were Forced To Drag Their Own Sleigh', c1929. 'It was early in January, 1912, that Scott and his companions set out to march home from the Pole...Never has a party found itself faced with more terrible difficulties...For hundreds of miles around them there was...nothing but ice and snow - snow that cut into their skin and eyes, blinded them as they walked or trudged forward along the white, white waste...whose only sound came from the wind which howled, shrieked, and screamed about them...As the five trudged on, often in the teeth of the gale, they had to drag behind them the sledge which carried the food and firing, without which, of course, they were bound to die'. British naval officer and explorer Robert Falcon Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole, 1910-1913. From "Heroic Deeds of Great Men", by C. Sheridan Jones and Alfred Miles, illustrated by Howard Davie and Harry Payne [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, c1929]
