		<description><![CDATA[The sun has returned. To-day it seemed better than ever and the glare was blinding. There are quite a number of cases of snow blindness. We have done splendidly. To-night all the provisions except some in bottles are ashore and nearly all the working paraphernalia of the scientific people &#8211; no light item. There remains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We got to work at 6 again this morning. Wilson, Atkinson, Cherry-Garrard, and I took each a pony, returned to the ship, and brought a load ashore; we then changed ponies and repeated the process. We each took three ponies in the morning, and I took one in the afternoon. Bruce, after relief by Rennick, [...]]]></description>

I was a little late on the scene this morning, and thereby witnessed a most extraordinary scene. Some 6 or 7 killer whales, old and young, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This work is full of surprises. At 6 A.M. we came through the last of the Strait pack some three miles north of Cape Royds. We steered for the Cape, fully expecting to find the edge of the pack ice ranging westward from it. To our astonishment we ran on past the Cape with clear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The steep exposed hill sides on the west side of Cape Bird look like high cliffs as one gets south of them and form a most conspicuous land mark. We pushed past these cliffs into streams of heavy bay ice, making fair progress; as we proceeded the lanes became scarcer, the floes heavier, but the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are around Cape Bird and in sight of our destination, but it is doubtful if the open water extends so far. We have advanced by following an open water lead close along the land. Cape Bird is a very rounded promontory with many headlands; it is not easy to say which of these is [...]]]></description>

We find pack off Cape Bird; we have passed through some streams and there is some open water ahead, but I&#8217;m afraid we may find the ice pretty thick in the Strait at this date. &#8220;Mt.

The swell from the E.N.E. continued to the end. The Barrier was not more than 60 feet in height. From the crow&#8217;s nest one could [...]]]></description>
