[00:01.15]Then,disaster soon same.

[00:04.62]Edgar Evans had a terrible disease

[00:07.13]and died after a bad fall.

[00:09.71]The next to go was Captain Oates,

[00:11.91]who was having great difficulty walking.

[00:14.46]Scott recorded his death:

[00:16.64]"He said,'I'm just going outside

[00:19.73]and I may be some time.'

[00:22.14]We knew that poor Oates

[00:23.67]was walking to his death,

[00:25.72]but though we tried to stop him,

[00:27.51]we knew that it was the act of a brave man

[00:30.22]and an English gentleman.

[00:32.37]We all hope to meet the end

[00:34.01]with a similar spirit,

[00:36.11]and certainly the end is not far."

[00:39.38]Scott and two of his team members carried on

[00:42.64]and got within eleven miles of one

[00:44.99]of their food bases.

[00:46.87]But then a terrible storm started

[00:49.49]and they could not leave their tent.

[00:51.71]Scott spent some of his last hours writing.

[00:54.58]He wrote a letter full of sadness

[00:56.93]to his wife Kathleen:

[00:59.02]"I could tell you lots and lots

[01:01.12]about this journey.

[01:02.56]What stories you would have for the boy...

[01:05.01]But what a price to pay."

[01:07.55]Scott's diary also told the story of their end:

[01:11.30]"We are getting weaker

[01:14.23]and weaker and the end can't be far.

[01:16.32]It seems a pity,

[01:17.68]but I do not think I can write more."

[01:20.80]The news of Scott's death shocked the world.

[01:24.56]He had failed to win the race to the Pole,

[01:27.17]but the extraordinary courage shown

[01:28.78]by Captain Scott and his men

[01:31.26]made them into heroes.
