I flashed our compass-lamp on the sail in the hope that the signal would be visible on board the 'Dudley Docker', but could see no reply.

I will quote Worsley's own account of what happened to the 'Dudley Docker': "About midnight we lost sight of the 'James Caird' with the 'Stancomb Wills' in tow, but not long after saw the light of the 'James Caird's' compass-lamp, which Sir Ernest was flashing on their sail as a guide to us. We answered by lighting our candle under the tent and letting the light shine through.
