THE EPIC OF CAPTAIN SCOTT BY MARTIN LINDSAY AUTHOR OF THOSE GREENLAND DAYS ILLUSTRATED G. P. PUTNAMS SONS NEW YORK MCMXXXIV CAPTAIN R F SCOTT, C V. O, R N ACKNOWLEDGMENT MY grateful thanks are due to Lady Hilton Young, not only for allowing me to quote certain passages from Captain Scotts diary and letters and to reproduce some of his own photographs, but also for reading through the proofs. Without her assistance this book, in its present form, would not have been possible, and I only hope that her influence and the charm of her personality is in some measure reflected in the story. A debt of gratitude is also owing to Mr. Apsley Cherry-Garrard for permitting me to quote from The Worst Journey in the World, from which most of the other diary passages are taken, and to Professor Debenham, Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute and a member of Captain Scotts last expedition, for much helpful advice. To Mrs. E. A. Wilson, Lady Maxwell, Sir James Barrie, Mr. Herbert G. Ponting, and Messrs. John Murray, all of whom placed copyright material at my disposal, I also say thank y u MARTIN LINDSAY.
