Power And Meat: Ponies On Which The Furthest South Party Lived. "At This Time There Were Only Three Ponies Left": Lieutenant Shackleton giving his lecture before the Royal Geographical Society, at the Albert Hall, 1909. 'The lecture was illustrated by means of many lantern-slides. With regard to the subject shown on the screen in our Illustration, it may be recalled that in his telegram to the "Mail, " Lieutenant Shackleton, writing of the movements of the Furthest South party, said: "The 'Southern Party'...with four ponies...left Cape Royd on October 29, 1908...The ponies often sank to their bellies. In latitude 81 deg. 4 min. we shot the pony 'Chinaman', and made a depot of oil, biscuit, and.pony-meat. The remainder of the pony-meat we took on to eke out our dried rations...On November 28, the pony 'Grisi' was shot. We made a depot in latitude 82 deg. 45 min. longitude 170 deg. On November 30 the pony 'Quan' was shot...On December 7 the pony 'Socks', breaking through a snow-lid, disappeared in a crevasse of unknown depth.'' The eating of pony-meat was a cause of dysentery".' From "Illustrated London News", 1909
