Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1914 — Cupid at the South Pole. [ARTICLE]

Cupid at the South Pole.

There seems no doubt that Cupid ia at the south pole. The tragedy of the Scott expedition has been followed b f a perfect epidemic of marriages and engagements among the survivors. Six or seven of the naval petty officers and men of the Terra Nova have been married, and quite a number of others have become engaged since their return from the polar expedition. The navy has not been the only sufferer. The biologist of the expedition, Mr. Nelson, married recently and Mr. Drake, the secretary, was best man. Then again Commander Bruce, Lady Scott’s brother, has married Miss Boot, the best man being Lieutenant Renwick, also of the Antarctic. This was a naval wedding in the official sense and took place in London. —Liverpool Courier.
