...February 26 they found themselves 67 miles from the coast, and as the "Nimrod" was to sail north on March 1, it was necessary for them to make long forced marches. The next day they made 24 miles, but in the evening Marshall, one of the party, became so exhausted that they left him behind with a companion, while Shackleton and another man pushed on alone. They marched almost all night and early the next afternoon felt the ice heaving under their feet. A little while later they reached open water, but as it was foggy they could not discover...
