‘Hark the herald angels sing’ [on the gramophone]. It sounds like home; [the] voice is wonderful and has great warmth.
This morning Teddy and I went out surveying. As usual it was cold and nasty work; I hope we have finished with this part. In the afternoon we made preparations for the map drawing.
(Later, at 10 o’clock) Scott, Wilson, Oates, Atkinson, Bowers, and Cherry-Garrard [Also Crean and Hooper.] have just come through the door having started at 10 a. m. They had a pretty rough passage which took two days. Day had a frost-bitten toe and has been laid up in the Discovery hut.
They are still discussing Amundsen. I can say nothing. God knows I am in a difficult position, and I hope to avoid the worst predicament by going with the party to the Western Mountains. I really don’t want to compete with my compatriots.
