To-night sent up signal light to inform them there of our safe arrival an answering flare was shown. Sunday, April 16.

I scarcely like to express the mixed feelings with which I am able to regard this remnant. Freezing of Bays. Cape Evans
Small swarms should have the Queens taken from them and the bees returned to the parent stock, so as to keep the old hive well replenished with bees during the moth season; likewise to avoid the loss of the old stock by freezing in the winter.
To say an affectionate word seemed to require as painful an effort as to drag out a tooth, and if by chance he was betrayed into such an indiscretion, he protected himself against its consequences by putting on his most "prickly" airs, and freezing the astonished hearer by his frigid tones.
Although we were only about half a mile away the freighter sank before we could get to it.

He was not equal, for instance, to dancing till he dropped, in a bearskin coat turned inside out, nor making jokes and cutting capers in the immediate vicinity of cracking whips; if he was turned out in a state of nature into a temperature of twenty degrees below freezing, as often as not, he caught cold; his stomach could not digest brandy mixed with ink and other filth, nor minced funguses and toadstools in vinegar.
