Scott’s Last Expedition Volume I

CHAPTER XX
63/65

We stopped to water ship from a nice hummocky floe.

We made about 8 tons of water.

Rennick took a sounding, 1960 fathoms; the tube brought up two small lumps of volcanic lava with the usual globigerina ooze.
Wilson shot a number of Antarctic petrel and snowy petrel.

Nelson got some crustaceans and other beasts with a vertical tow net, and got a water sample and temperatures at 400 metres.

The water was warmer at that depth.
