THEIR GLORIOUS GRAVES.
A TOMB OF ETERNAL ICE. LORD CURZON'S EULOGY. (Received February 23th, 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 25. Lord Curzon, at a meeting of tireRoyal Geographical Society, eulogised Captain Scott, Dr. Wilson, and' Lieut. Oates. He hoped that the bodies would be left there with the snow as their winding shoot, the eternal ico as a tomb, and the solemn Antarctic wastes as a graveyard, in which it pleased God they should sleep. "If wo cannot crown liim and his companions with fresh laurel wreaths, at lea.t let us lay our chaplet of mourning upon their glorious graves."
