Emphasis Preaching Journal

Just before the outbreak of World War I, a small ship named Endurance set sail from Briton with a crew intent on being the first to cross the South Pole. The ship reached Antarctica, but became icebound in the Weddle Sea. Soon they had to abandon their ship and the 28-man crew took to their lifeboats. They were trapped on the ice for over a year. A desperate decision was made to take four men in a twenty-foot lifeboat across the roughest sea in the world to a whaling station on South Georgia Island some 800 miles away. At the helm was a man named Worsely.
