Note 149 — Chapter XXXIII · THE ROUTE BY SMITH SOUND. KANE—HAYES—HALL—NARES—MARKHAM
Reading edition
Each sledge had its flag, which, at my suggestion, was designed on proper heraldic rules. The cross of St George at the hoist, the fly swallow-tailed, party per fess with the colours of the sledge-commander’s arms, and his crest or principal charge over all, a border or fringe of the colours of the arms. The same pattern was adopted for the sledge flags of Captain Scott’s Antarctic expeditions.
