WINTER STOCK OF PENGUINS 



ship left we laid in a supply of fresh meat for the winter, 

 killing about a hundred penguins and burying them in 

 a snow-drift close to the hut. We now felt assured that, 

 with the penguins as well as the mutton given us by 

 friends in New Zealand, we would have ample fresh meat 

 during the winter months. By February 28 we were 

 practically in a position to feel contented with ourselves, 

 and to look further afield and explore the neighbourhood 

 of our winter quarters.
