About this book
South with Scott is a book by Edward Ratcliffe Garth Russell Evans Mountevans. The preface gives the object of the book as keeping alive the interest of English-speaking people in the story of Scott and his little band of sailor-adventurers. The book is affectionately dedicated to Lashly and Crean.
The Royal Yacht Squadron adopted the expedition, and Scott was elected a member at a cost of 100 pounds that the Expedition could ill afford. The day before sailing, the Royal Geographical Society entertained Scott and his party at luncheon in the King's Hall, Holborn Restaurant. On midwinter night, when the table was gay and festive, Gran noticed an unopened pint bottle of champagne towards the end of the feast. The text calls the contrast between the palace at Cape Evans and the ice-cave at Campbell's position ridiculous.
