This bath recalls Oates' army service overseas prior to him taking part in Scott's ill-fated expedition. The story of Oates' death is the best known in the annals of polar exploration. Captain Scott documents this in his sledging journal, ''He was a brave soul. This was the end. He slept through the night before last, hoping not to wake; but he woke this morning = yesterday. It was blowing a blizzard. He said, "I am just going outside and may be some time." He went out into the blizzard and we have not seen him since.' Captain Oates' body was never found.
