“I’ve been five times round the world, and Bill quite as far in his mind, yet we still thought this an awfully big adventure.”

  • Lt. Henry Robertson (Birdie) Bowers, The Birthday Boys, p. 135. Bowers died with the other members of Robert Scott Franklin’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, 1911
