His narrative of the ship's two voyages (pp. 41-74) which contains extracts from his diary, is an important compliment to Doorly's The Voyages of the 'Morning'. Evans mentions Scott's 1910-13 expedition only in passing (pp.80-82), not surprisingly since that expedition was the subject of South with Scott" (Rosove).   Rosove, 118.
