After five strenuous days occupied in getting stores, equipment, and hut onto the top of the glacier 30ft above sea level, we said-good-bye to this little party of eight men, who were facing very serious rinks rather than return to Australia with their task unaccomplished, On February 22nd this handful of men scrambled over the side of the ship with their blankets on their backs, and made their way across the ice-floe to the hoap of stores on the glacier which represented alt that they had to depend upon for the next twelve months-a black heap of stores in a white waste of snow. They disappeared cheering as they went, and I watched them with feelings of ankiety and admiration as I steamed off on iny return to Hobart."

SCRAMBLING ON THE GLACIER.

We photographed the scene, left a cunisur and a record, and in honour of the occasion had drink all round from the medical com- forss, which fortunately had not been needed.

The ice we met with on the expedition was by far the worst I have ever seen. Our glacier this was partly the result of collisions between more quickly moving masses and our own. These collisions had torn crevasses more than 300ft, wide and 400ft, deep, and the impact had thrown up ice 250ft, to 300ft. high. This evidently extended right out to sen.. After covering ten miles we had to give it up. There were, too, magnificent ice cascades twelve miles wide and from two to three thousand feet high.
