Found this morning that the wind had chopped round to the N.E. and E., dead against us. All day we drove to the South with but half a point of easting. Towards evening it came on to blow a whole gale, with snow and intensely, unendurable cold—regular Cape Horn weather. Lat. 49.38 S., Long. 110.39 E. 95 miles run in our true course. Today C. Mountfort put the finishing stroke to his business and is safe.
