stream of new arrivals could be seen far out on the 
ice, like a long, endless black snake winding in 
between the ice-floes. As no open water was to be

collected 435 penguin eggs for reserve stores. I 
got daily reports now from the top of Cape Adare, 
to find out whether the ice conditions had changed, 
and for the purpose of securing reliable data in
