Weather very unsettled again—looks like snow—but Scott, Evans, Bowers, Taylor, Wright, Debenham, Seaman Evans, Crean and Gran started off for Cape Evans. We helped them up Ski Slope and along the hill tops to Second Crater. They intended to get down to the sea ice at the Hutton Cliffs and so by Glacier Tongue to Cape Evans.
After leaving them I went to the top of the Third Crater with Oates and Cherry—viewed the strait which is again getting a covering of thin ice. Snow again falling.
After lunch Cherry and I again went to Second Crater top with glasses, but it was too thick to see anything of the party, On returning we killed and cut up a very large fat seal at Hut Point crack. The ice in our bay is now 16 inches thick, and in the crack which was open water on the 8th, 5 inches i.e. more than an inch a day, Our party is now reduced to Oates, Meares, Cherry, Atkinson, Keohane, Forde and myself to look after the dogs and horses and bring them along when the sea ice bears.
