Amongst other instruments that we had with us 

 on the expedition was a four-inch transit theodolite, 

 with Reeve's micrometers fitted to horizontal and 

 vertical circles. The photographic equipment included 

 nine cameras by various makers, plant for the dark- 

 room, and a large stock of plates, films and chemicals. 

 We took also a cinematograph machine in order that 

 we might place on record the curious movements and 

 habits of the seals and penguins, and give the people 

 at home a graphic idea of what it means to haul sledges 

 over the ice and snow. 



The miscellaneous articles of equipment were too 

 numerous to be mentioned here in any detail. I had 

 tried to provide for every contingency, and the gear 

 ranged from needles and nails to a Remington type- 

 writer and two Singer sewing machines. There was 

 a gramophone to provide us with music, and a printing 

 press, with type, rollers, paper and other necessaries, for 

 the production of a book during the winter night. We 

 even had hockey sticks and a football.
