The Voyages Of Captain Scott is a book written by Charles Turley that details the expeditions of the famous British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. The book chronicles Scott's journeys to both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, including his ill-fated final expedition to the South Pole. Turley provides a comprehensive account of Scott's life and career, including his early naval training and his subsequent exploration of the polar regions. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the harsh conditions and challenges that Scott and his crew faced during their expeditions, as well as the scientific discoveries they made along the way. The Voyages Of Captain Scott is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of polar exploration and the life of one of its most famous figures.The days following the departure of the sledge party were exceptionally fine, but on Tuesday, March 11, those on board the ship woke to find the wind blowing from the east; and in the afternoon the wind increased, and the air was filled with thick driving snow. This Tuesday was destined to be one of the blackest days spent by the expedition in the Antarctic, but no suspicion that anything untoward had happened to the sledge party arose until, at 8.30 P.M., there was a report that four men were walking towards the ship. Then the sense of trouble was immediate, and the first disjointed sentences of the newcomers were enough to prove that disasters had occurred.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
