iyi2] AT CAPE EVANS i8i 
remains of the Polar Party 1 1 miles south of ' One 
Ton Depot.' Atkinson brought back all their records 
and personal gear, which I asked him to take charge of 
personally. 
November 26.— I went with Atkinson to Hut Point 
with a dog team. 
It was a fine, clear day, and leaving Cape Evans at 
noon we got there about 2 p.m. Tlie surface was good 
and I walked up to the Gap and saw the rest of the party 
in camp at ' Safety Camp.' 
November 27. — The remainder of the party pulled in 
about 2 A.M., and it was very pleasant meeting them all 
again. Atkinson and I left them there and returned to 
Cape Evans, getting in at 5 a.m. next morning. 
November 28. — A fine day. The party with the 
mules arrived at i p.m. Although five mules out of seven 
were brought back wc had to shoot two of them, as they 
refused all food and were in a very bad condition. 
We now settled down to routine work and short sledge 
journeys on Ross Island, and for geological survey work, 
Priestley and Debenham taking a party up Mt. Erebus. 
The ship arrived January 18, just as we were starting 
to prepare for a third winter.
