[00:04.88]Chapter 9 The End of the Race [00:10.73]The Norwegians stayed two days at the Pole． [00:15.40]They left a tent there, [00:17.28]with a Norwegian flag on it． [00:20.00]Inside the tent,they left some food, [00:23.29]a letter for the King of Norway, [00:25.30]and a letter for Scott． [00:28.59]They left some more black flags near the Pole, [00:31.69]and one twenty-eight kilometres north． [00:35.20]Then they skied away,back to the north． [00:40.49]It's a beautiful day,Bjaaland wrote． [00:44.44]The sun is warm,the snow is good． [00:48.09]But the dogs run too quickly- [00:50.49]I can't get in front of them! [00:53.83]They found their depots easily． [00:56.51]There were ten between the Pole and Framheim． [01:00.15]Each depot had a lot of food． [01:03.43]They laughed and skied quickly down the mountains． [01:07.23]Often,they skied fifty kilometres a day． [01:12.44]On Friday,January 26th,1912, [01:18.12]they came back to Framheim． [01:20.86]It was four o'clock in the morning． [01:24.59]Inside the wooden house,Lindstrm, [01:27.18]the cook,was asleep． [01:30.18]Amundsen walked quietly to his bed． [01:33.94]'Good morning,Lindstrm,'he said． [01:37.46]'Is our coffee ready?' [01:42.44]The black flags waited at the Pole． [01:46.85]'What's that,Captain?' [01:48.90]Bowers said．'Over there?' [01:52.17]'Where?'Scott asked． [01:54.34]'What-oh my God!' [01:59.14]They all saw me small black flag in the snow, [02:03.15]two kilometres in front of them． [02:07.47]Slowly,they pulled their sledge to it． [02:12.73]Next day,January 17th 1912, [02:17.10]they found the tent and the Norwegian flag． [02:22.46]Near it,Scott took the British flag from under his clothes, [02:26.98]and put it up． [02:29.41]In his diary,Scott wrote： [02:32.50]This is a very bad day． [02:37.14]We are all tired,and have cold feet and hands． [02:42.93]It is－30°Centigrade and there is a snowstorm． [02:50.68]Great God! This is an awful place! [02:58.64]They turned north． [03:00.87]Five tired,unhappy men, [03:04.63]in the coldest,emptiest place on earth． [03:11.70]On March 13th,1912,Scott's wife Kathleen, [03:18.29]looked at her morning newspaper． [03:21.69]NORWAY'S FLAG AT SOUTH POLE,it said． [03:27.79]She looked at it for a long time, [03:30.70]and then began to cry． [03:34.13]'What's the matter?'her friend asked． [03:38.20]'My poor,poor husband,'Mrs Scott said． [03:43.44]'What's happened to him?Where is he now?' [03:50.11]Scott's men were always hungry． [03:53.08]There were not many depots and they were difficult to find． [03:57.22]We need to find the next depot today,Oates wrote． [04:02.21]But how can we find one black flag in all this snow? [04:08.14]It's very difficult． [04:10.76]And there is food for four men,not five． [04:16.58]They were all tired and ill,too． [04:20.20]Oates's feet were black now, [04:23.01]and he could not feel them． [04:26.22]On February 16th,Edgar Evans died． [04:31.84]On the 17th they were past the mountains． [04:36.46]At the depot there they ate one of the dead ponies． [04:40.78]Then they went on-ten,eleven,twelve kilometres a day． [04:48.65]They were ill because their clothes were not warm [04:51.65]and they didn't have much food． [04:54.87]The temperature was sometimes －40°Centigrade． [05:00.84]On March 7th Scott looked at Oates's feet． [05:05.45]They were big and black．'I can't pull the sledge now,' [05:11.13]Oates said．'It's very difficult to walk． [05:15.91]Am I going to lose these feet,Captain?' [05:20.01]Scott looked at Oates's feet, [05:23.13]and said nothing． [05:27.19]On March 9th they found another depot, [05:30.94]but there was not much food． [05:33.59]Slowly,they walked on． [05:37.08]Oates's feet were worse every day． [05:42.00]March 17th was Oates's birthday． [05:46.10]He was thirty-two． [05:48.99]He lay in the tent and listened to the wind outside. [05:53.85]He was very cold,very hungry,and very very tired． [06:02.57]He wrote a letter to his mother and gave it to Wilson． [06:07.41]Then he got up,and opened the door of the tent． [06:12.58]He stopped in the door for a minute． [06:15.63]Scott,Wilson,and Bowers looked at him． [06:19.94]They didn't speak． [06:22.94]'I'm going outside for a minute,' [06:26.64]Oates said．'I may be some time．' [06:32.47]They didn't see him again． [06:37.93]At Cape Evans,the Englishmen waited． [06:42.24]On December 11th,Meares and the dogs came back． [06:47.31]On January 3rd,Teddy Evans and his two men arrived at Cape Evans． [06:53.96]The Terra Nova came,and went． [06:57.66]Winter began．Scott did not come． [07:04.12]The Englishmen waited all winter at Cape Evans． [07:08.31]Then,on October 26th 1912, [07:12.59]they started for the south． [07:16.33]Two weeks later,they found a tent． [07:20.39]There were three bodies in the tent- [07:23.38]Scott,Wilson,and Bowers． [07:28.22]They put the bodies under the snow． [07:31.66]Then they took the men's letters and diaries, [07:34.45]and went north to Cape Evans again． [07:38.76]In Scott's diary they read：Oates died like a good Englishman． [07:45.13]We all did．Please,remember us, [07:49.99]and look after our families． [07:53.15]We did our best． [07:57.55]No one found Oates's body． [08:00.75]But he is there,somewhere, [08:03.54]under the snow and the wind,in the coldest, [08:07.70]emptiest place on earth．
