52 SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION 
were positive agony immediately we took them out of our mits, 
and to undo a lashing took a very long time. ‘The night we 
got in Scott said he thought it was the hardest journey which had 
ever been made. Bill says it was infinitely worse than the South- 
ern Journey in 1902-3. 
I would like to put it on record that Captain Scott considered 
this journey to be the hardest which had ever been done. This 
was a well-considered judgment.
