Duke was safe in warmer climes, for
II is polar etiquette that the first
hungry party that finds cache is at
liberty TO take the supplies. Such
action has always been regarded as
perfectly lawful and proper, because
the food is taken to sustain life, and,
as in our own case, they are ready
TO make good If they ever get out
alive. In addition to the canned
meats left by the Abruzzi expedition.
