Scott’s Last Expedition Volume I

CHAPTER IV
39/59

Now the open water runs parallel to our ship road and only a few hundred yards south of it.

Yesterday the whaler was rowed in close to the camp, and if the ship had steam up she could steam round to within a few hundred yards of us.

The big wedge of ice to which the ship is holding on the outskirts of the Bay can have very little grip to keep it in and must inevitably go out very soon.

I hope this may result in the ship finding a more sheltered and secure position close to us.
A big iceberg sailed past the ship this afternoon.

Atkinson declares it was the end of the Cape Barne Glacier.
