2io WITH SCOTT : THE SILVER LINING 



It is midnight and I lie in my bunk. * Marie ' Nelson is 

 taking meteorological readings, and remarks that the Skua 

 Gull (i.e. G.T.) has resumed his predatory habits. The others 

 are sleeping except Ponting, from whom I got my candle. 

 But everything feels too warm and clean for sleep ! Clocks 

 are ticking everywhere ! "
