Mr. Fougner, Lieut. Colbeck, and a good mountaineer 
from amongst the crew named Yngvar, made an 
ascent of the mountain ridge, and reached the height 
of 3,000 feet, finding vegetation on their way to 
Me c5 top, Prom the vessel in the cove we 
watched with interest their toilsome progress as they 
struggled over glaciers and up steep rocks. For a 
time I was anxious about them, but it soon became 
evident that the sailor Yngvar was an excellent 
mountaineering guide, and about midnight they 
returned, bringing with them a rich collection of 
rocks and mosses. 
On March 2nd we hoisted the Union Jack 
presented by H.R.H. the Duke of York, at Cape 
Adare at 2 р.м, and greeted it with loud cheers from 
those on shore, and with a salute and with dipping 
of the flag from on board. Addressing the staff and 
crew, I said :— | 
“Hereby I have the honour of hoisting the first 
E on the great Antarctic Continent. It is the 
Union Jack of Great Britain.”
