xlviii WORST JOURNEY IN THE WORLD 
he and his expedition had made good. During the same 
year the North Pole was reached by Peary after some 
twelve years of travelling in Arctic regions. 
Scott published the plans of his second expedition 
in 1909. This expedition is the subject of the present 
history. 
The Terra Nova sailed from the West India Dock, 
London, on June 1, 1910, and from Cardiff on June 15. 
She made her way to New Zealand, refitted and restowed 
her cargo, took on board ponies, dogs, motor sledges, 
certain further provisions and equipment, as well as such 
members of her executive officers and scientists as had 
not travelled out in her, and left finally for the South on 
November 29, 1910. She arrived in McMurdo Sound on 
January 4, 1911, and our hut had been built on Cape 
Evans and all stores landed in less than a fortnight. 
Shortly afterwards the ship sailed. The party which was 
left at Cape Evans under Scott is known as the Main 
Party. 
But the scientific objects of the expedition included the 
landing of a second but much smaller party under Camp- 
bell on King Edward VII.’s Land. While returning from 
an abortive attempt to land here they found a Norwegian 
expedition under Captain Roald Amundsen in Nansen’s 
old ship the Fram in the Bay of Whales: reference to 
this expedition will be found elsewhere.1 One member of 
Amundsen’s party was Johansen, the only companion of 
Nansen on his famous Arctic sledge journey, of which a 
brief outline has been given above.” Campbell and his five 
companions were finally landed at Cape Adare, and built 
their hut close to Borchgrevinck’s old winter quarters. 
The ship returned to New Zealand under Pennell: came 
back to the Antarctic a year later with further equipment 
and provisions, and again two years later to bring back to 
civilization the survivors of the expedition. 
The adventures and journeyings of the various members 
of the Main Party are so numerous and simultaneous that _ 
I believe it will help the reader who approaches this book _
