Description | An Antarctic Bystander |
Details |
Early copies of The Bystander found in front of Hut Point, McMurdo Sound, in the Ross Sea Dependency of the Antarctic. The Hut was erected in 1902 by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and used again by Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition in 1907-9. These pages were found folded and wrapped around the stub of a home made candle inside a rusted tin. The discovery, made by Captain Richard B. Black, US Navy, a member of the R.G.S, was sent to Sir Winston Churchill, who kindly gave permission for the pages to be printed in The Tatler (the Bystander merged with The Tatler in 1940).
