South with .Scott. By Captain Edward R. G. R. Evans.

(Collins. 10s. 6d. net.)—Captain Evans, with Chief Stoker Lashly and Petty Officer Crean, formed the supporting party that was the last to leave Captain Scott and his four companions

on their march to the South Pole. Captain Evans himself had a most trying journey back to the ship, and owed his life to the self-denying exertions of his comrades, to whom the book is dedicated. His narrative of the expedition, of which he was the second in command, is well written, and adds some interesting details to the story as related by Lady Scott and by Mr. Pouting. There are several good maps.
