THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC 



party from the ship went to his assistance. " They were 

 the happiest men I have ever seen," said Davis in describ- 

 ing the finding of the party. Their sledge, equipment 

 and specimens were taken on the Nimrod, which was able 

 to moor right alongside the fast ice, and then Captain 

 Evans proceeded back to the winter quarters. In the 

 chapters that follow Professor David tells the story of the 

 Northern Party's journey.
