Captain Scott Memorial The Mansion House Committee of the Captain Scott Memorial Fund are, with the permission of the Dean and Chapter, about to erect a bronze bas-relief in St. Paul’s Cathedral in memory of the explorers. The sculptor is Mr. S. Nicholson Babb. The model was recently exhibited at the Royal Academy. Earl Curzon composed the inscription, which runs:—“ln memory of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, C.Y.0., R.N., Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson, Captain Lawrence E. G. Oates, Lieutenant Henry R. Bowers, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, who died on their return journey from the South Pole in February and March, 1912. Inflexible of purpose, steadfast in courage, resolute in endurance in the face of unparalleled misfortune. Their bodies are lost in the Antartie ice. But the memory of their deeds in an everlasting monument. ’ ’
