...agree with the writer that people from a distance would suffer great hardship from an extension of time. In fact I believe just the opposite; people can not and will not come here from a distance to spend a single day. This opinion is thoroughly impressed upon those of us who live outside of Massachusetts. There must be entertainment extending over several days to bring people three hundred miles...

The men were weighted down with baggage, and progress over the uneven surface of the ice was slow and laborious. Two miles a day was all that could be made during the first part of the retreat. Food and water were scarce and gave out five days before the men reached land...
