Michael told me he had done the ice and sent me a list of which days had the ice.
I only found a few days with one liners of ice mentioned.

Maybe ice was (almost) done but full position information wasn't...

Where was R.W. Johnson at the beginning of the voyage. Very nice writing. He can stay.

Well done. How do you find all this stuff?

[Randi]

Brute force, ignorance, persistence, and other people's hard work: People's names, ranks & rates, uniforms & badges

I usually skip looking at the forward pages in the log book. Took a look at Dec and it has the officers name address and wifes name.
