1911] THE MARCHING AVERAGE 203 
equal to 34:6 stat. miles, which on top of a day’s work was good 
enough for me. We therefore prepared the hut for the night. 
Turned in about 7 and soon fell asleep. Gran woke Forde and 
myself about 10 P.M. with cocoa and porridge, both of which 
were splendid. We then slept till 9 A.M. on the 15th. 
September 15, 1912.—Turned out at 9 A.M., cooked a fine 
breakfast, and then washed all the cooking gear, cleared out the 
hut, got on our marching gear, and at 2 P.M. started off for C. 
Evans. We had an easy march on the sea ice and arrived back 
at 9.25 P.M. Found that the sledge party Capt. Scott is taking 
W. had left that morning, and that I was not going on my sec- 
ond trip to Corner Camp as the dogs will not start for another 
month. I found by comparison that my watch had lost two sec- 
onds since I left nearly a week ago. Turned in about 11.30 P.M., 
and was soon snoring.
