Excerpt from Report on the Collections of Natural History: Made in the Antarctic Regions During the Voyage of the "Southern Cross" The 'southern Cross' sailed from the Thames on the 22nd of August, 1898, touched at Madeira and St. Vincent, and reached Hobart Town on the 28th of November. After a fortnight spent in Tasmania, the ship sailed for Victoria Land on the 17th of December, and met with the first of the ice-pack on the 3oth of the same month. The initial attempt to reach Victoria Land was not successful, and the result was that the 'southern Cross' was hemmed in in the ice-pack for forty days, and was at last headed northwards and returned for a second attempt to penetrate to Cape Adare, the future winter residence of the landing-party. The open sea was once more attained on the loth of February, and on the 14th the 'southern Cross' successfully passed through the ice-pack in six hours.
