"The Magellan Times",  3 August 1916

We read in the «Buenos Aires Herald» that amongst the members of the Shackleton Expedition left on Elephant Island was a boy who stowed away on board the Endurance, when she was in Buenos Aires, and who was not discovered until the ship was well on her way to the southwards. If this boy was looking for adventure he got it, and we have no doubt that if he survives this trip his thirst for exploring will be quenched.
