It's a big blow to know that one of the two best motors, on which so much time and trouble have been spent, now lies at the bottom of the sea.

The actual spot where the motor disappeared was crossed by its fellow motor with a very heavy load as well as by myself with heavy ponies only yesterday.
Meares took Campbell back and returned with the report that the ice in the vicinity of the accident was hourly getting more dangerous.
It was clear that we were practically cut off, certainly as regards heavy transport.

Bowers went back again with Meares and managed to ferry over some wind clothes and odds and ends.

Since that no communication has been held; the shore party have been working, but the people on board have had a half holiday.
At 6 I went to the ice edge farther to the north.

I found a place where the ship could come and be near the heavy ice over which sledging is still possible.
