188 British Antarctic Expedition. 
besides the above-mentioned species, a very fine coral 
was found. 
The magnetic work was going on. Mr. Evans 
attended now 
to the zoologi- 
cal taxidermist 
department 
while Fougner 
took over the 
marime fauna 
collecting. 
On. October 
ир Mr. Han: 
son seemed to 
have become 
worse. ie 
doctor took a few hours of highly-needed rest, 
while Fougner watched at the sick bed. 
Early in the morning of the 12th the doctor per- 
formed a slight operation on Mr. Hanson, who seemed 
to draw his breath with difficulty. I ordered all the 
members of my staff out of the hut with the exception 
of the doctor and his attendant, Mr. Fougner. 
At midnight on the 13th October I crawled into 
my sleeping bag outside, but at 2 o'clock in the 
morning of the r4th the doctor called me and officially 
informed me that Mr. Hanson had not long to live, 
and that he had told Mr. Hanson of his condition, 
at which he had expressed a wish to say good-bye to 
us all. I went in and found him quiet and without 
pain. Calmly he bade me his last farewell, and con- 
fided to me his last wishes. He himself chose the 
place where he wished to be buried—at the foot of a 
FROM TWENTY FATHOMS.
