'Chippy' McNeish's (carpenter on the Endurance) diary is in the collection of the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand. (He is buried in that city a few hundred feet from perhaps his least favorite shipmate, Thomas Orde-Lees.) Shane transcribed the diary some time ago and has kindly provided it to The Antarctic Circle to post on its website.
