Hi George Rather than keep you on pins and needles, waiting for an entire transcription, I thought I would give an each day as I go. Herein find 24 April 1916, where Worsley attempts to rate his chronometer. This is the first day, when he makes his departure from Wild Camp. In the previous day he writes "Cape Belsham" but in this day he writes "C.Belsxxxx", I assumed he was making reference to the same location. There are several places where I cannot read his handwriting or there is a smudge in the text, making it most illegible. Perhaps we can tease it out by inference. The hardest part is to place the characters as he has them in his log. He strays from the lines from time to time, making this not exactly as it appears in the images I have. Anyway, here is the first installment!
