The ship was behaving well in a rough sea, and some members of the scientific staff were transferring to the bunkers the coal we had stowed on deck.

Sanders Island and Candlemas were sighted early in the afternoon, and the 'Endurance' passed between them at 6 p.m.

Worsley's observations indicated that Sanders Island was, roughly, three miles east and five miles north of the charted position.

Large numbers of bergs, mostly tabular in form, lay to the west of the islands, and we noticed that many of them were yellow with diatoms.

One berg had large patches of red-brown soil down its sides.
