South!

CHAPTER I
41/60

We remained moored to a floe over the following day, the wind not having moderated; indeed, it freshened to a gale in the afternoon, and the members of the staff and crew took advantage of the pause to enjoy a vigorously contested game of football on the level surface of the floe alongside the ship.

Twelve bergs were in sight at this time.

The noon position was lat.

62ー 42エ S., long.

17ー 54エ W., showing that we had drifted about six miles in a north-easterly direction.
Monday, December 21, was beautifully fine, with a gentle west-north- westerly breeze.
