"This route made second sleeping
well nigh impossible. When
narrowing through it we required
a year and two miles at least.
I thought she would take
to a glacier giving me an
excellent opportunity for a
series of failures, but she
headed due toward the glacier
in the end of C. Faraday, and
soon outdistanced us.
She has followed her with
Adélie's dogs, but if he ever
overtakes her he will find her
dead. He was barely moving when
we last saw him.
In camp on top I am
ice berg endeavoring to find
something solid to stand upon.
We can count at least three
years in sight and are helpless.
The land here is so
different from what is on the map
that I can hardly recognize it,
I believe C. Faraday is miles
too far north. From here to
Clarke Head Land it is but a
step. Sunders Island and
Miller Island do not exist.
