Worsley thought to himself, "the pity of it all." He remembered the diary he had kept ever since the Endurance had sailed from South Georgia almost seventeen months before. That same diary, wrapped in rags and totally soaked, was now stored in the forepeak of the Caird. When she went, it would go too. Worsley thought not so much of dying, because that was now so planley inevitable, but the fact that one one would ever know how terribly close they had come.

He wrote in his diary that same night: "the rapidity which which one can completely change one's ideas... and accommodate ourselves to a state of barbarism is wonderful."

Given the length of this work, however, it may be safe to assume that any reader who has come this far must have found something of interst in the preceding pages.

The same spirit that leads us to equally obsess over the family photographs of Orson Welles on vacation in the Alps and the most recent edition of a math textbook makes us ill-equipped for success in contemporary life.
