  1. April 20th: The gale is stronger than ever and no work can be done. Blizzard and snow, snow and blizzard, sudden lulls and fierce returns. 10:24 PM Oct 5th, 2008 from web
  2. At dark, about 5PM we all turned in after supper, consisting of a pannikin of hot milk, one precious biscuit and a cold penguin leg each. 10:22 PM Oct 5th, 2008 from web
  3. I have an uneasy feeling, like looking at granite stage scenery that is nothing more than canvas and lath. 1:17 PM Oct 2nd, 2008 from web
  4. The carpenter is working to make our 20' whaler as seaworthy as can be. Adding lashings and covering in canvas. 1:17 PM Oct 2nd, 2008 from web
  5. The men suggested I take Blackborrow that he might have shelter and warmth as quickly as possible. I knew he would not survive the trip. 4:07 PM Oct 1st, 2008 from web
  6. I decided to call for volunteers, although, as a matter of fact I pretty well know which of the people I would select. 4:06 PM Oct 1st, 2008 from web
  7. There is no choice but to head out into the ocean south of Cape Horn, the most tempestuous storm swept area of water in the world. 9:37 AM Oct 1st, 2008 from web
  8. There will be fewer mouths to feed during the winter if the boat trip fails, and there is no chance of a search here in Elephant Isle. 9:16 PM Sep 30th, 2008 from web
  9. The hazards are obvious, but I calculate that at worst the venture will add nothing to the risks of the men left on the island. 4:03 PM Sep 29th, 2008 from web
  10. A party might make the voyage and be back with relief within a month, providedthe sea is clear of ice and and the boat survives. 10:43 PM Sep 27th, 2008 from web
  11. A boat journey in search of relief is necessary and must not be delayed. 5:56 PM Sep 27th, 2008 from web
  12. After making a preliminary survey of the situation, I decided that the partymust be limited to one hot meal a day. 10:19 AM Sep 27th, 2008 from web
  13. An examination of our stores showed that we had full rations for the whole party for a period of five weeks. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  14. I did not dare to count with full confidence on supplies of meat and blubber, for the animals have deserted and the winter is near. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  15. An examination of our stores showed that we had full rations for the whole party for a period of five weeks. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  16. They told me that the toes would have to be amputated unless animation could be restored within a short period. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  17. Blackborrow's feet, frostbitten during the boat journey, were in a bad way, and the two doctors feared that an operation would be necessary. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  18. The increasing sea made it necessary for us to drag the boats farther up the beach. This was a task for all hands. 10:29 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
  19. The Endurance is trapped by the pack ice and being crushed. We must abandon it. 10:28 AM Sep 26th, 2008 from web
