THE REWARD FOR PERSEVERANCE
Fast Reading
We watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island.It was easy
to imagine the danger ahead of them.Would they ever return to find us?What might
happen to them?What if they were delayed?We felt so alone and desperate.But it was not
for long.There was nothing like a good dinner and some music to cheer us up.
Structure Main Idea
ife fell into a regular pattern.Staying alive took all our time and energy.For example,
we needed water,and Elephant Island had none.We found that we could melt ice from
the ocean and drink the water from it.But how could we make fire?There were no trees
growing on Antarctica and no oil,so the only fuel we could use was animal fat.This gave
off oily,black smoke.but it stayed burning even in strong winds.
Background
Food was also a problem,as we did not find any vegetables or fruit on the island.One
of our group members.Lionel Greenstreet,
