HEAVY SLEDGING OFF MACKAY TONGUE, JUST WHERE 

 WE TRIED TO PACK TO LAND, Dec. 8, 1911. 



Note the great furrows due to the sledge dragging bodily on the snow. 



THE "HALF-TON" AFTER NELSON LEFT US, OFF THE MOUTH 

 OF DRY VALLEY, Nov. 18, 191 1. 



Notice the ice-free character of the valley and its faceted walls. Beneath the flag 

 appears distant " Matterl-iorn." The sledge-meter shows to the left of the 

 tent. [See p. 339.
