		<description><![CDATA[Marched up the hill to Evans&#8217; Camp under Castle Rock. Evans&#8217; party came to meet us and helped us up with the loads &#8211; it was a steep, stiff pull; the pony was led up by Oates. As we camped for lunch Atkinson and Gran appeared, the former having been to Hut Point to carry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had a terrible pull at the start yesterday, taking four hours to cover some three miles to march on the line between Safety Camp and Fodder Depot. From there Bowers went to Safety Camp and found my notes to Evans had been taken. We dragged on after lunch to the place where my tent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was interrupted when writing yesterday and continue my story this morning&#8230;. In the middle of the night at 4.30 Bowers got out of the tent and discovered the ice had broken all round him: a crack ran under the picketing line, and one pony had disappeared. They had packed with great haste and commenced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bowers Incident I note the events of the night of March 1 whilst they are yet fresh in my memory. The events of the past 48 hours bid fair to wreck the expedition, and the only one comfort is the miraculous avoidance of loss of life. We turned out early yesterday, Oates, Gran, and I, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our pony died in the night. It is hard to have got him back so far only for this. It is clear that these blizzards are terrible for the poor animals. Their coats are not good, but even with the best of coats it is certain they would lose condition badly if caught in one, [...]]]></description>

Wilson and Meares had had continuous bad weather since we left, Bowers and Oates since their arrival. The blizzard had raged for two days. The animals looked in a sorry condition but all were alive. The wind [...]]]></description>

We have managed to get our cooking things inside and have had a meal. Very anxious about the ponies &#8211; am wondering where they can be. The [...]]]></description>

James Pigg also found the surface bad, so we camped and had lunch after doing 3 miles. Except for our tent the camp routine is slack. Shall have to tell people that we [...]]]></description>

We pulled on ski in the forenoon; the second sledge couldn&#8217;t keep up, so we changed about for half the march. In the afternoon we pulled on foot. [...]]]></description>
