Hurley's Journal - November 16, 1915
Finish additional two pairs of crampons during the day. These are manufactured from screws, cut off at the shank and pointed, the shank heads being clamped in small washers, to the number of ten. They are scattered over the sole and heel, being secured by leather bars.
A discussion re: the third boat during the day. We count the matches, and find we have enough for a twelve months supply. We are very anxious, however, to reach Snow Hill early this season, so as to avoid wintering another year in the Antarctic. By a party crossing Graham's Land, we should probably fall in with whalers at Wilhelmina Bay, and failing to rescue the whole party this season, we could at least let the world know of our whereabouts.
