'"No Surrender Oates" Went Out To Die', c1929. '...as the food grew less and less, so did the heroic companions grow weaker and weaker...Oates...had begged Scott and his two friends to leave him. "Your only chance," he said, "is to push on without me"...the others listening to him shook their heads. So the four lay down and slept...one of them, poor Oates, hoping that rest would come at last...But in the morning he found himself still alive. Outside a blizzard raged..."I am going outside," he said, "and may be some little time." And he went out into the blizzard where he died, and they never saw him again'. 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]
