Note 8 — V IN WINTER QUARTERS WITH CAPTAIN SCOTT (continued 2)
Reading edition
Our local time (which we did not use), corresponding to our longitude 166° E., was 11 hours 5 minutes 46 seconds before Greenwich. Hence it was midwinter at 1.30 on Friday morning of the 23rd by local time. This experience of ours was a very practical trial of the Daylight Saving Bill. We used to feel very virtuous when we turned out at 7.30 by our chronometer while sledging, as we realized that it was really 6.30 a.m.
