THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC 



7 A.M. Just about a quarter of an hour after we had 

 turned in, slb we learnt later, the Nimrod must have 

 passed, bound north towards Mount Melbourne, within 

 three miles of the ice clilF on which our tent was now 

 situated. Owing, however, to a light wind with snow 

 drift she was unable to sight either our depot flag or 

 tent.
