Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I tana hokinga mai ki te ratonga i te Poutu-te-rangi 1907 i uru atu a Mulock ki te akoranga torpedo i HMS "Vernon". I mua tata atu i te tono a Scott ki a Mulock kia uru atu ki a ia i runga i te haerenga tuarua o te pou; i whakaae te taiohi taiohi me te kore e ruarua. Na ka tuhituhi Ernest Shackleton ki a ia karanga ia ki te whai wāhi i roto i te
Ko te Tirohanga Nimirota. Na te whakaaetanga a te rangatira ki a Scott, ka whakahē a Mulock engari kaore i te hiahia ki te whakaoho i te whakataetae ma te whakaatu ki a Shackleton e whakamahere ana a Scott ki te "haere ki te tonga ano"; kaore i miharo i te Paenga-whāwhā 1908 kaore a Mulock i tohu hei rangatira torpedo. Ko te Commodore J. Briggs, RN, e whakahau ana i a "Vernon", i tuhia ki runga i te rekoata ratonga mana a Mulock "ko tana ngoikoretanga ki te tohu i roto i te torpedo na tana kore aro", he riri marama mo nga mahi a Scott me Shackleton. I te tau 1908 i tohua a Mulock ki (Captain Henry Oliver, RN) hei whakarite mo tana ake whakahau.
