South!

CHAPTER III
38/85

One bird of philosophic mien goes quietly, led by one flipper.

The others show fight, but all are imprisoned in an igloo for the night....

In the afternoon we see five emperors in the western lead and capture one.
Kerr and Cheetham fight a valiant action with two large birds.

Kerr rushes at one, seizes it, and is promptly knocked down by the angered penguin, which jumps on his chest before retiring.

Cheetham comes to Kerr's assistance; and between them they seize another penguin, bind his bill and lead him, muttering muffled protests, to the ship like an inebriated old man between two policemen.
