Proceed at convenient speed to Corner Camp, thence to One Ton Camp,
and thence due South to Latitude 80 1/2 degrees South. If motors
successful

(i) Carry forward from Corner Camp 9 bags forage, 1 bag of oilcake;
_but_ see that provision for ponies is intact, _viz._: 3 sacks oats,
1 bag oilcake, 4 bags of forage. If motors pulling very well you can
also take 9 cases emergency biscuit.

(ii) In addition carry forward from One Ton Camp all man food and fuel
in depot, _viz._: 7 units bagged provisions, 4 boxes biscuit, 8
gallons paraffin, but see that provision for ponies is intact, _viz._:
5 sacks oats; and deposit second bag of oil-cake brought from Corner
Camp. If motors pulling very well you can also take 2 or 3 bales of
compressed fodder.

It being important that I should have latest news of your success I am
arranging for dog teams to follow your tracks for some distance.

If motors break down temporarily you will have time for repairs.

If motors break down irretrievably, take 5 weeks' provision and 3
gallons extra summit oil on 10 foot sledge and continue South easy
marches. Arrange as best you can for ponies to overtake you three or
four marches due South One Ton Camp. Advance as much weight (man food)
as you can conveniently carry from One Ton Camp, but I do not wish you
to tire any of party. The object is to relieve the ponies as much as
possible on leaving One Ton Camp, but you must not risk chance of your
tracks being obliterated and pony party missing you.
