Cape Adare to the height of 3,670 ft., as indicated 
Py tiie aneroid. Ihe ascent was very steep for the 
first 800 ft., principally over worn rocks on the 
nouum side. On the top there were large 
mounds of pebbles and large boulders stretching 
from east towards west, on undulating ground. 
Here I found vegetation of the very same kind 
as that found on the lower rocks at Cape Adare 
554. he penguins had been up as far as 
1,000 ft. I discovered no vegetation above 1,000 ft. 
in this locality. At the height of 3,000 ft. above 
the sea level there was a good deal of snow. We 
traversed some two miles south-westwards, and then 
again upwards in an easterly direction, and reached 
as far as the eastern side OI the: cape, where the 
perpendicular cliffs rose up from Ross’s ice-free bay. 
Very little drift-ice was to be seen towards the 
south-west of the bay and in the immediate vicinity 
of the actual cape. А strong tidal wave passed near 
the cape north-westwards towards the western side 
of Robertson Bay, continued from there its run into 
the inner portion of that bay, and came back along 
the eastern coast. The whole of its course could be 
distinctly observed from the top, by the movement 
of the drift-ice. 
On the 13th March most of the provisions were 
brought up to the house. 
It was Sir George Newnes’s birthday, and we 
celebrated it by hoisting the flag. 
The temperature, which during the last few days 
had kept about 22, now began to fall. rapidly. 
Already on the 14th all the penguins had left us.
