had been phenomenal at this place,
raging for three days and causing

very badly, so decided to retire to

With Alpine ropes the men were
rescued with difficulty. Working on

salving the sledges and their loads,

AT 4: q. m. the pack began to move
again. We left the ponies with full

when the pack was again stationery.
The Raymer enterprise., 1912-04-11

We marched north, found the ponies,
and made desperate efforts to save
them. Bowers and Oates risked a
long detour over the pack and led the
animals over many jumps while the
remainder OF us dug trench to the
lower part OF the barrier. The edges
OF the foes were high above water and
very uneven. Killer whales hung
about within a few yards. The ponies
failing at the jump were irretrievably
lost. One pony only won through.
The pack was moving again as We
left 1t and drifted clear to the north.
More Ponies Lost.
On March We ascended hills east
of Castle Rock, and on the fifth the
party with the two remaining ponies
and the dog teams was safely housed
at Hut Point. BY this incident We
lost three OF our strongest ponies.
This was a severe blow to the expe.
dltion. but not enough TO wreck its
plans II the remaining animals could
be preserved. The heavy swell
which caused this disaster broke
more than ten miles OF sea ice, large
fragments from the barrier, and two
miles of glacier tongue-a feature
which had remained otherwise un-
changed since discovery, in 1902. The
Hut was found almost completely fill
ed with hard snow, the windows
broken and the door unhinged. With
much labor We cleared and repaired
ii. II then afforded good shelter.
While forced to wait for the sea
breeze to blow over We settled down
to a very primitive life.
Preparing For the Winter.
On March II Lieutenant Evans led
a party TO Corner Camp. completing
the depot arrangements for the COM
ing season. The temperature at the
barrier had already fallen to minus
40 degrees. Throughout the month
Ice continually formed over the sea
but the strong winds quickly drove Il

continued to drive out Of the sound.
Huge land ice falls on the southwest
slopes OF Mount Erebus prevented any
possibility Of returning to Cape Evans
by land, but with the freezing OF the
bays | decided to make an attempt
to reach the station, partly by land
and partly by sea Ice. With eight
companions started, on April II, and
| although caught by storm on sea
ice, We reached Cape Evans early on
the 18th. We found the station,
which had been left In Simpsons S

rangements for. comfort remarkably
perfect. Numerous selfrecording in.
struments were In full swing. and all
records complete to date. All the
news was good except the loss OF one
Of the nine remaining ponies and one
dog. During our absence there had
been much wind. the mean velocity
for two months being twenty.four
miles per hour. For 10 percent OF the
whole time the wind had been over

pointed to an exceptionally severe
season.
