Later on the cook found that he could bake a sort of flat bannock or scone on this stove, but he was seriously hampered for want of yeast or baking-powder.
An attempt was next made to erect some sort of a galley to protect the cook against the inclemencies of the weather.

The party which I had sent back under Wild to the ship returned with, amongst other things, the wheel-house practically complete.

This, with the addition of some sails and tarpaulins stretched on spars, made a very comfortable storehouse and galley.

Pieces of planking from the deck were lashed across some spars stuck upright into the snow, and this, with the ship's binnacle, formed an excellent look-out from which to look for seals and penguins.

On this platform, too, a mast was erected from which flew the King's flag and the Royal Clyde Yacht Club burgee.
I made a strict inventory of all the food in our possession, weights being roughly determined with a simple balance made from a piece of wood and some string, the counter-weight being a 60-lb.
