May it be in part because all lee sides tend to be filled by drift snow, blown and weathered rock debris? There was a good lee under one of the bergs; in one corner the ice sloped out over me and on either side, forming a sort of grotto; here the air was absolutely still. Ponting gave us an interesting lecture on Burmah, illustrated with fine slides.
After service on Sunday morning Scott, continuing his course of photography under the excellent instruction of Ponting, went out to the Pressure Ridge, and thoroughly enjoyed himself.
The telegram read: "Am told we have got it. Ponting was George's assistant. The news referred to a competition for an enormous barracks in India one of the two competitions pending. It had come sooner than expected. Was it true? George was aware that Ponting had useful acquaintanceship with a clerk in the India Office. He thought, trying not to believe: "Of course Ponting will swallow anything."
One could hear the "booming" noise as the whales rose under the ice and struck it with their backs. Whale after whale rose under the ice, setting it rocking fiercely; luckily Ponting kept his feet and was able to fly to security; by an extraordinary chance also, the splits had been made around and between the dogs, so that neither of them fell into the water.
He would find excuses to go up to the storeroom, where he would pretend to be looking for things while he was really playing with Dossie. He would sit on Ranny's bed while Ranny was undressing, and together they would consider, piously, the grave case of the Humming-bird, and how, between them, they could best "keep him off it."

Ponting has taken some coloured pictures, but the result is not very satisfactory and the plates are much spotted; Wilson is very busy with pencil and brush.

The wind has been boisterous all day, to advantage after the last snow fall, as it has been drifting the loose snow along and hardening the surfaces.
The art of photography has never been so well housed within the Polar regions and rarely without them. Such a palatial chamber for the development of negatives and prints can only be justified by the quality of the work produced in it, and is only justified in our case by the possession of such an artist as Ponting.
"Except for the Cathedral, of course. I always envy Lady St. Leath her elevation." "A fine site, the Castle," said Ronder. "They must get a continual breeze up there." "They do," said Brandon. "Whenever I'm up there there's a wind." This most edifying conversation was interrupted by the entrance of the Reverend Charles Ponting. Mr.
"Well, ma'am, we had of course to obey her orders, but we all felt very uncomfortable. And as a matter of fact in about half an hour Ponting did make an excuse to go into the room" he looked at the woman by his side. "You just tell Mrs. Otway what happened," he said, in a tone of command. Ponting meekly obeyed. "I just opened the door very quietly, and Mrs. Guthrie did not turn round.
