Two quiet days, temperature low in the minus thirties an occasional rush of wind lasting for but a few minutes. One of our best sledge dogs, 'Julick, has disappeared. I'm afraid he's been set on by the others at some distant spot and we shall see nothing more but his stiffened carcass when the light returns.
I thought I might find the remains of poor Julick in this I was unsuccessful; but I wished further to test our new crampons, and with these I am immensely pleased they possess every virtue in a footwear designed for marching over smooth ice lightness, warmth, comfort, and ease in the putting on and off.
Sunday routine, no one very active. Had a run to South Bay over 'Domain. Monday, August 28. Ponting and Gran went round the bergs late last night. On returning they saw a dog coming over the floe from the north. The animal rushed towards and leapt about them with every sign of intense joy. Then they realised that it was our long lost Julick.
Demetri and Clissold took two small teams of dogs to Cape Royds to-day. They found some dog footprints near the hut, but think these were not made by Julick. Demetri points far to the west as the scene of that animal's adventures. Parties from C. Royds always bring a number of illustrated papers which must have been brought down by the Nimrod on her last visit.
