The whalers knew King Haakon Bay, though they never worked on that side of the island.

Soon we were clean again.

The whaling-vessel that was going round to King Haakon Bay was expected back on the Monday morning, and was to call at Grytviken Harbour, the port from which we had sailed in December 1914, in order that the magistrate resident there might be informed of the fate of the 'Endurance'.
