We rushed our boats over the edge of the reeling berg and swung them clear of the ice- foot as it rose beneath them. The 'James Caird' was nearly capsized by a blow from below as the berg rolled away, but she got into deep water. We flung stores and gear aboard and within a few minutes were away.

He had ridden from Cookstown, and was reeling in the saddle, but would go on. Your men are over there, Major, beyond the clump of timber.
For a moment, with reeling senses, he supposed himself to have been shot, the next he knew he had escaped.
