The animals were splashing and blowing around the 'Endurance', and Hurley made a record of this unusual sight with the kinematograph-camera.
The barrier now stretched to the south-west again.

Sail was set to a fresh easterly breeze, but at 7 p.m.it had to be furled, the 'Endurance' being held up by pack-ice against the barrier for an hour.
We took advantage of the pause to sound and got 268 fathoms with glacial mud and pebbles.

Then a small lane appeared ahead.

We pushed through at full speed, and by 8.30 p.m.the 'Endurance' was moving southward with sails set in a fine expanse of open water.

We continued to skirt the barrier in clear weather.
