The loss is severe; but they were the two oldest ponies of our team and the two which Oates thought of least use. Atkinson and Crean have departed, leaving no trace not even a note. Crean had carried up a good deal of fodder, and some seal meat was found buried. After a few hours' sleep we are off for Hut Point.

Never did a cook work under more anxious scrutiny. Worsley, Crean, and I stayed in our respective boats to keep them steady and prevent collisions with the floe, since the swell was still running strong, but the other men were able to stretch their cramped limbs and run to and fro "in the kitchen," as somebody put it. The sun was now rising gloriously.
On the 30th January Lashly and I had been fourteen weeks out, and we had exhausted practically every topic of conversation beyond food, distances made good, temperatures, and the weather. Crean, as already set down, had started with the Main Southern Party a week after Lashly and I had first set out as the pioneers with those wretched failures, the motor sledges.
Crean I appear on his behalf, but I believe his personal attendance is necessary. Mr. Dix Does anyone appear for Mr. Scanlan? There was no answer. Mr. Murphy, Q.C. I ask whether Dr. Waters and Mr. Lalor appear in court. Mr. Molloy My client Mr. Lalor, is in court. Mr. Crean I believe my client is not in court. Mr. Murphy, Q.C. I will prove the service of the summons against Dr. Waters.
Having depôted six full weeks' provisions, Scott, Cherry-Garrard and Crean started for home, leaving the others to bring James Pigg by easier stages.
Clambering up over backs and up sledge I used an ice-axe to cut steps over the cornice and thus managed to get on top, then cut steps and surmounted the edge of the cornice. Helped Bowers up with the rope; others followed then the gear was hauled up piecemeal. For Crean, the last man up, we lowered the sledge over the cornice and used a bowline in the other end of the rope on top of it.
Oates gave him an opium pill and later on a second, and sacks were heated and placed on the suffering animal, but hour after hour passed without any improvement. As the evening wore on Scott again and again visited the stable, only to hear the same tale from Oates and Crean, who never left their patient. 'Towards midnight, Scott says, 'I felt very downcast.
The eight forward hands had the large hoop-tent, No. 3; Crean had charge of No. 4 hoop-tent with Hussey, Marston, and Cheetham; and Worsley had the other pole-tent, No. 5, with Greenstreet, Lees, Clark, Kerr, Rickenson, Macklin, and Blackborrow, the last named being the youngest of the forward hands.
