		<description><![CDATA[A very terrible day. Evans looked a little better after a good sleep, and declared, as he always did, that he was quite well. He started in his place on the traces, but half an hour later worked his ski shoes adrift, and had to leave the sledge. The surface was awful, the soft recently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[12.5 m. Lunch Temp.-6.1º; Supper Temp. -7º. A rather trying position. Evans has nearly broken down in brain, we think. He is absolutely changed from his normal self-reliant self. This morning and this afternoon he stopped the march on some trivial excuse. We are on short rations with not very short food; spin out till [...]]]></description>

Heavy march &#8211; did 13 3/4 (geo.). We are pulling for food and not very strong evidently. In the afternoon it was overcast; land blotted [...]]]></description>

We started a little late and pulled on down the moraine. At first I thought of going right, but soon, luckily, changed my mind and decided to follow the curving [...]]]></description>

For my part these were increased by my visits outside the tent, when I saw the sky gradually closing over and snow beginning to fall. By our ordinary time for getting up it was dense all [...]]]></description>

Two hours before lunch we were cheered by the sight of our night camp of the 18th December, the day after we made our depÙt &#8211; this showed we were on [...]]]></description>

We started on a wretched surface with light S.W. wind, sail set, and pulling on ski &#8211; horrible light, which made everything look fantastic. As we went on light got worse, and [...]]]></description>
