On the 10th they got the Bluff Peak in line with Mount Discovery.

My instructions had been that the Bluff depot should be laid on this line, and as the depot had been placed north of the line on the outward journey, owing to thick weather making it impossible to pick up the landmarks, Mackintosh intended now to move the stores to the proper place.

He sighted the depot flag about four miles away, and after pitching camp at the new depot site, he went across with Joyce and Wild and found the stores as he had left them.
"We loaded the sledge with the stores, placed the large mark flag on the sledge, and proceeded back to our tent, which was now out of sight.
Indeed it was not wise to come out as we did without tent or bag.

We had taken the chance, as the weather had promised fine.

As we proceeded it grew darker and darker, and eventually we were travelling by only the light of stars, the sun having dipped.
