2i8 SCOTT'S LAST EXPEDITION 



The mules were apportioned as follows: 



To Nelson Khan Sahib 



To Gran Lai Khan 



To Crean Rani 



To Keohane Begum 



To Williamson Gulab 



To Hooper Abdullah 



To Archer . Pyaree 



A regular night watch to take hourly observations of aurora, 

 to look after the mules and to keep in the fires was also kept. 

 Since our numbers were so much reduced the men were asked to 

 take their nights, and to this they cheerfully agreed. We num- 

 bered altogether thirteen souls in the hut. Weekly lectures were 

 arranged to be given by the various officers, and instead of con- 

 fining these to merely scientific subjects, other items of interest 

 were lectured upon.
