So we do not actually know that the Endurance party effected $> landing. Probably tJiey did, but ;we have no Wordof.it. I don't think it has boon previously stated in print, but when tho war began Sir Ernest Shacklcfo.n- went to the. Kins and: offered the services of all his party on both ships for fiyhtinp;.
