We could not undertake the maintenance of weaklings under the new conditions.

Macklin, Crean, and the carpenter seemed to feel the loss of their friends rather badly.

We propose making a short trial journey to-morrow, starting with two of the boats and the ten sledges.

The number of dog teams has been increased to seven, Greenstreet taking charge of the new additional team, consisting of Snapper and Sallie's four oldest pups.
We have ten working sledges to relay with five teams.

Wild's and Hurley's teams will haul the cutter with the assistance of four men.
The whaler and the other boats will follow, and the men who are hauling them will be able to help with the cutter at the rough places.
