The above, except the first four items, were procured from the Army and 

 Navy Stores, London, and were all excellent in quality. I have had my food 

 supplies from this association for every expedition since 1891, and have never 

 had cause to complain of anything ; a fact I do not hesitate to record, although 

 it may savour of an advertisement. 



LIQUIDS. 



Each man to his taste, little alcohol is really required, 

 appreciated by most visitors. 



Cherry Brandy 



"^ Most useful. Add | tin to No. 5 occasionally. 

 ^ Good for lunch. 

 ^ For visitors. 

 1" Made into delicious brown bread at Vardo, &c. Even with the greatest care it 



began to turn mouldy after seven or eight days ; and when this penetrates to the 



interior of the loaves biscuits are preferable. Unfortunately our cook could not 



bake bread on board as he had no suitable oven. 

 1^ Do not be persuaded to take the hardest baked kinds of biscuits. There is not always 



time to soak them, and I have known a man damage four teeth during one vojage 



on these "rocks."
