British Explorer Said To Have Found South Pole.

Captain Robert .F. Scott, a British explorer. Is said by Captain Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, to have found the south pole. We will take his claim with a grain of salt The Cook pseudoblepsis has made us a little chary of these antarctic explorers. There must be some sort of bacteria in the cold countries that cause men to make false claims, and until Scott comes nearer proving his claim than either Cook or Peary we will refrain from any special laudation#. .
