Slowly But Surely The Sea Is Freezing

With Great Care We Might Have A Dog's Chance, But No More.

I Fear We Have Shot Our Bolt - But We Have Been To Pole And Done The Longest Journey On Record.

I May Not Have Proved A Great Explorer, But We Have Done The Greatest March Ever Made And Come Very Near To Great Success.

Every Day Some New Fact Comes To Light - Some New Obstacle Which Threatens The Gravest Obstruction. I Suppose This Is The Reason Which Makes The Game So Well Worth Playing.

But Take Comfort In That I Die At Peace With The World And Myself - Not Afraid.
