OHYAT: Turning Back

... And so, ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY, Cherry (but not Dimitri because of the paralysis) packed up the sledges, depoted supplies for the Polar Party at One Ton, and left them a note:

Dear Sir,

We leave this morning with the dogs for Hut Point. We have made no depots on the way in being off course all the way, and so I have not been able to leave you a note before.
Yours sincerely,
Apsley Cherry-Garrard

... and turned back to the north.
