South!

CHAPTER XIII
62/86

We had a fine surface this morning for marching, but we did not make much headway.

We did the usual four miles before lunch.

The temperature was -23ー Fahr.

A mirage made the sastrugi appear to be dancing like some ice-goblins.

Joyce calls them 'dancing jimmies.' After lunch we travelled well, but the distance for the day was only 7 miles 400 yds.
We are blaming our sledge-meter for the slow rate of progress.
