A: OK, we need to choose the two sailors that joined Shackleton’s rescue team. Let’s look at our choices.
B: So how about Frank Wild and Tom Crean? They were both experienced in exploring and living in the Antarctic, and they also had many good qualities, such as being kind and strong.
C: Yes, but look at Perce’s diary. Frank wild stayed on Elephant Island with the others. So we can cross him off our list.
B: Oh, yes, well spotted. Then what about Tom Crean? Anyone has any ideas?
A: Well, he was good at living in the Antarctic, so maybe he stayed on the island to help, but I think his strength and bravery meant that Shackleton would have chosen him for the dangerous mission.
B: I agree, So one choice is Tom Crean. OK, let’s move on to another candidate. How do you feel about Frank Worsley?
A: I think he is a good choice because he was an excellent navigator.
C: I agree. The rescue team needed a good navigator. He could be our second choice.
B: But what about Hubert Hudson? He was also good at navigating.
A: Yes, but he was also the best at catching penguins, so I think he would have stayed on the island with the others so they had enough to eat.
C: Sounds reasonable. But we should also look at Thomas Orde-Lees. He was an excellent skier, so maybe he could be helpful on the mission.
B: Hmm… maybe, but I think he didn’t have as much to offer as Frank and Tom. Besides, Perce complained about him in his diary, so I think he probably stayed on the island.
A: I agree, so let’s choose Frank and Tom.
