[00:05.16]Chapter 7 Motor Sledges and Mountains [00:11.90]Scott had two motor sledges now． [00:15.32]They were the first motor sledges in the Antarctic-the first on earth． [00:21.76]On October 24th, [00:24.00]the motor sledges started south from Cape Evans． [00:28.54]Four men went with them, [00:31.31]but Scott stayed at Cape Evans for another week． [00:36.68]Oates was unhappy． [00:40.05]He wrote to his mother：We had a very bad winter here． [00:46.44]I don't like Scott． [00:49.27]We were here all winter, [00:51.62]but he didn't learn to ski,or to drive dogs． [00:56.24]Our equipment is bad, [00:59.24]and he doesn't think about other people． [01:02.63]I'm going to sleep in his tent on the journey, [01:07.45]but I don't want to． [01:12.25]On November lst Scott and Oates [01:15.77]and six more men left Cape Evans [01:18.95]with eight sledges and eight ponies． [01:23.31]The ponies walked slowly [01:25.20]because their feet went down into the snow． [01:29.33]It was hard work for them and they got tired very quickly． [01:34.91]They travelled thirteen or fourteen kilometres in a day． [01:41.08]Behind the ponies came Meares with one sledge and some dogs． [01:47.88]Meares knew how to drive dogs． [01:51.06]Every day,Meares started two hours after the ponies, [01:56.87]and arrived two hours before them． [02:02.75]After five days,they found the motor sledges． [02:09.09]The Norwegians began again on October 20th． [02:14.84]There were five men this time- [02:17.96]Amundsen,Bjaaland,Wisting,Hassel,and Hanssen． [02:26.35]They had four sledges,and forty-eight dogs． [02:32.30]There was a lot of wind and fog． [02:36.00]On the first day,Wisting's sledge suddenly stopped, [02:41.30]and the back went down． [02:44.03]'Come on,you dogs!'he said angrily． [02:48.70]'Pull!Pull!'At first nothing happened； [02:54.28]then,slowly,the sledge moved again． [02:59.71]Wisting looked down,over the side of the sledge． [03:03.94]Under the snow,there was a fifty metre hole． [03:09.12]'Did you see that?'Amundsen said． [03:13.37]'The ice wants to eat us - [03:15.65]men,dogs,sledges,everything．' [03:21.96]On the fourth day they reached the depot at 80°South． [03:27.79]There was a bad snowstorm, [03:29.96]but they found the flags easily． [03:34.08]Next day the men stayed in their tents, [03:37.49]and the dogs played in their holes under the snow． [03:41.70]They were all happy． [03:43.82]They had a lot of food, [03:45.48]they had good equipment, [03:47.05]and they were warm． [03:48.72]They could travel fast． [03:52.74]Next morning,the snowstorm stopped, [03:56.19]and the journey began again． [03:59.39]Today,everything is wonderful, [04:03.50]Bjaaland wrote in his diary． [04:06.49]But where is Scott? [04:08.81]In front of us,or behind? [04:14.81]There was no one with the motor sledges； [04:18.10]they were broken． [04:20.10]Scott looked at them angrily． [04:23.91]'It doesn't matter,'he said． [04:27.22]'Teddy Evans and his men are in front of us． [04:30.27]They're good men-they're pulling their sledges themselves． [04:35.04]We can get to the Pole on foot．' [04:40.02]Oates looked at Meares． [04:42.91]Oates and the ponies were tired, [04:45.43]but Meares and his dogs were not． [04:48.37]The snow was home for them． [04:51.73]That night,Oates wrote： [04:54.72]Three motor sledges at￡1,000 each,19 ponies at ￡5 each, [05:03.17]32 dogs at ￡1．50 each． [05:08.19]Well,it's not my money,it's Scott's． [05:13.84]On November 21st, [05:16.24]one of the ponies died． [05:20.74]On November 11th, [05:22.36]the Norwegians saw the mountains． [05:26.18]The mountains were very high- [05:28.34]some of the highest on earth． [05:31.77]Bjaaland smiled． [05:34.11]'There is good skiing up there,Roald,'he said． [05:37.88]'But can dogs get up there too?' [05:40.97]'Of course they can,'Amundsen said．'Come on．' [05:46.80]They left Hanssen with the dogs, [05:49.14]and skied a little way up the mountains． [05:52.33]It was difficult,but the mountains were big and beautiful． [05:58.26]Behind the mountains, [05:59.78]Amundsen thought there was a high plateau of ice． [06:04.36]'That's it,'Amundsen said． [06:07.57]'That's the road to the Pole． [06:10.60]Tomorrow,we can bring the dogs and sledges up here． [06:15.22]But now,let's have a ski race． [06:19.23]Who can get back to camp first?' [06:22.73]They laughed,and skied happily down the white snow． [06:27.69]'This is like home,'Bjaaland thought． [06:31.31]'But it's bigger than Norway,and better．' [06:35.62]In the next four days, [06:38.67]the dogs pulled the sledges eighty-one kilometres, [06:42.26]and went up 3,000 metres．At last, [06:47.89]Amundsen and Bjaaland stood on the plateau behind the mountains． [06:53.06]They were tired,happy men． [06:57.12]Bjaaland looked back at the mountains． [07:00.91]'Can a motor sledge get up here?'he asked． [07:05.53]Amundsen smiled．'No,'he said． [07:10.35]'I don't think so． [07:12.59]And Scott doesn't like dogs． [07:15.49]So his men are going to pull their sledges [07:18.49]up these mountains themselves． [07:21.59]Would you like to do that,Olav?' [07:24.93]Bjaaland didn't answer．He smiled, [07:28.77]and skied happily away across the snow．
