Text 1
Scott and his four companions were terribly disappointed when they got to the south pole and found the norwegians and beaten them in race to be the first men ever reach it. After planting the british flag at the pole, they took a photograph of themselves before they left, and then starte the 950 mile journey back.
The journey was painfully slow, and the joy and excitement had gone out of them. The hardly appeared, but the snow was soft abd snow storms often made it impossible to sight the stones they had set up to mark their way home. Then, to make things worse, evans, whom they had all thought the strongest of the five, showed sighs of weakening, fell into a deep hole in the ice, and after struggling along for a several days, suddently collapsed and died.
The four who were left pushed on at the speed they could manage, they know their strength was going and food was running short. The winds tired them out, so that each day the distance they travelled was shorter than previous day. If they had had warm food and dry sleeping bags, they might have lived, but each time they reach on of the place where they had left oil for cooking and heat, they found that there was less then they had expected. They hadn’n know that oil creeps out from tins in very low temperatures.
Captain oats had been suffering for some time from frozen feed, at night his feet swelled so large that he could scarcely put his boots next morning. And he walked in a geat pain. He was very brave. He did not complain, but he knew his slowness was making it less likely that the others could save the selves. He asked them to leaves his behind in his sleeping bag, but they refused, and help his on a few more miles, until it was time tu put up the tent for another night.
The following morning, while the others were still in their sleeping bag, he said: “i am just going outside and may be gone some time”. He was never seen again. He had walked out alone into the snow, hoiping that his death would help his companions. It takes nothing away from his brave act that in the end it was in vain..
