Brief Summary
Life on board ship - pass times of sport and reading. Finch demonstrated oxygen apparatus. Opinion of colleagues.
Detailed Summary
Describes daily life on board. Members of the expedition party were happy smiling company with plenty of easy conversation.
Every morning George Finch gave a demonstration of the oxygen apparatus and they practised adjusting the valves.
Describes the old ship and his cabin in a smelly corner. He had finished Keynes’s book, mentions exercise and shares thoughts on his colleagues. Deck tennis had so far provided some amusement – Wakefield and Somervell were both keen. Finch rigged up punch-ball and was behaving very well so far. He was liking the bunch very well and not least Noel who has done quite a lot of lonely wandering and is reserved and interesting about his experiences. He had written an article for the Blackie Encyclopaedia which he doubted was what they wanted but said the important thing was that they should send a cheque for £10.
The following day they were due in Port Said. He planned to send the letter from there along with the book Night and Day, asking her to try and read it. Asks if there was a big gap now he had gone and hoped she could put away the loneliness as she had the children with her. He hated the fact they weren't together. He had been thinking again about going to America and she must go with him if he did.
He had a photograph of her and of the children with him and asks that if anyone takes new ones then she should send them on to him.
Notifies him that she is sending him his thin socks. Hopes he is settling in well.
Sonnet written by George and dedicated to Ruth Turner and her sister Marjorie
Letter to Ruth Mallory written from Pen y Pass [no date]
Had arrived in Pen y Pass but instead of a car there was a little trap to meet them. They were expected but when they arrived the hall was dark as the current had been turned off due to a thunderstorm. They were staying in the lower shack and his bed was too short. Hugh was excited about the prospect of climbing. There was one other guest in the hotel, a man called O’Malley who would climb with them that day. Weather was clearing and they planned to go toward Tryfan. He had been sorry to leave her but was glad to be there.
Contains a record of decisions made by the Governing Body. There is an index to the contents at the back of the volume.
