It was a hard time for both captains and crews : " Independent of the small seas of field-ice the whole space was completely covered with drift pieces, some swimming very deep in the water, which a vessel striking upon would most likely knock a hole in her bottom, so that from the 26th to the 29th in the forenoon, we were utterly prevented from steering on any one course for more than a few minutes at a time . . . and never at any time had we less than fifty or a hundred ice-islands round us." ...On December 29th, two of the islands of Sandwich Land were sighted and the boats sent to search a low- lying reef for seals, but they returned empty, and Biscoe nso SIEGE OF THE SOUTH POLE resolved to keep on his voyage towards the east with- out more delay. The weather turned dazzlingly clear; but no land revealed itself, and the field-ice spread smooth and solid before the ships. They straggled through the pack and drift-ice along its edge, making only twelve miles on their course in a whole day, and never at rest for an hour from the ceaseless tacking and shifting of course to clear the dangerous ice-masses.
