One can only be careful and hope for the best.' _Sunday, January_ 15 .-- We had decided to observe this day as a 'day of rest,' and so it has been.
At one time or another the majority have employed their spare hours in writing letters.
We rose late, having breakfast at nine.

The morning promised well and the day fulfilled the promise: we had bright sunshine and practically no wind.
At 10 A.M.the men and officers streamed over from the ship, and we all assembled on the beach and I read Divine Service, our first Service at the camp and impressive in the open air.

After Service I told Campbell that I should have to cancel his two ponies and give him two others.

He took it like the gentleman he is, thoroughly appreciating the reason.
He had asked me previously to be allowed to go to Cape Royds over the glacier and I had given permission.

After our talk we went together to explore the route, which we expected to find much crevassed.
