...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...

That same afternoon Shackleton accompanied by three men from the "Nimrod" set out to return for Marshall, and the night passed on the journey was the first in which he had slept since he had begun the forced march. Early the next morning they set out again and on the following night were back at the coast with Marshall and his companion. During the last afternoon a blizzard had been raging and the "Nimrod" had moved to shelter when they arrived.

...Nimrod, King of Babylon, Wendell gave an amusing representation. His songs were well done and his acting excellent. The Cough Brothers, Hem and Haw, were presented by Butler and Middlemass. The latter, who had the longer part, has remarkable ability. Harrison had the tenor part; his acting was always smooth, and his fine voice was never heard to better advantage. As Googoo, "the detec-a-tive," Loring repeated his success of last year. Powel filled creditably the part of the scheming Grand Vizier.
