Hi George (and to all those folks following Worsley's Journey)

First I want to thank you for the Dennett Transcription, but it is clear that 
the person who did that equally had trouble.  For example, on the 24th of 
April, the transcription has them "rathing" the chronometer, not rating the 
chronometer.  Further, not one of the reductions is given, just a note that 
there is an observation.  The Dennett Transcription has helped me with a few 
words I could not read however, and for that I am grateful.  

On the 24th, Worsley talks about a break in the XXXXX ice.  Dennett has that 
as "stream" ice.  It may very well be that word, but H.O.Pub 609 "Functional 
Glossary of Ice Terminology" 1952 has no entry for "stream ice".  In my copy 
of "Endurance, An Epic of Polar Adventure" Worsley ;1933 Worsley refers to 
this as an "encircling line of pack ice".  Since "stream" could be the word, 
I have made it so.

An interesting bit is that the Dennett Transcription shows log entries for 30 
April thru the 3rd of May, something Canterbury Museum said that they did not 
have.  I will approach them for resolution

The log is now updated to the 6th of May 1916.  The data for 4 May is nearly a 
black blob.  At best, we only can get a partial reconstruction of the data.  
This is the worst of the lot.  Other dates are much clearer.  I beg 
forgiveness for all the errors I have probably made, the log book is a mess.

Best Regards
Brad
