Macklin's Journal - November 3, 1915
Worsley got a position - 69.3 S - 53.57 W., so that we have gone E. a little, but about 5 miles N. Does not look promising, this E. drift.
At the ship I entered Clarke's cabin which is just above water and got some books for him. I also made my way to my own cabin, but could get nothing - it is absolutely smashed up. I did not expect that we would be lying here for a time, or I would have brought my diary and my Bible which my Mother gave me.
NOTE: They were hoping the wind and current would push them West - in the direction of Snow Hill and Paulet Island where there stores had been placed for crews in exactly their predicament.
