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 19023. 



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.
