The dogs appeared indifferent to the blizzard.

They emerged occasionally from the drift to shake themselves and bark, but were content most of the time to lie, curled into tight balls, under the snow.

One of the old dogs, Saint, died on the night of the 2nd, and the doctors reported that the cause of death was appendicitis.
When the gale cleared we found that the pack had been driven in from the north-east and was now more firmly consolidated than before.

A new berg, probably fifteen miles in length, had appeared on the northern horizon.

The bergs within our circle of vision had all become familiar objects, and we had names for some of them.
