I9II] ONE TON CAMP 121 



I forgot to mention that looking back on the 15th we saw 

 a cairn built on a camp 12^ miles behind — it was miraged up. 



It seems as though some of our party will find spring jour- 

 neys pretty trying. Oates' nose is always on the point of being 

 frostbitten; Meares has a refractory toe which gives him much 

 trouble — this is the worst prospect for summit work. I have 

 been wondering how I shall stick the summit again, this cold 

 spell gives ideas. I think I shall be all right, but one must be 

 prepared for a pretty good doing.
