U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Marinka: Mackintosh iyo kooxda muhiimka ah ee xisbiga waxay gaareen Sydney, dabayaaqadii Oktoobar 1914. Waxay ogaadeen in Aurora aysan ku jirin xaalad ku habboon safarka Antarctic, waxayna u baahdeen dayactir ballaaran. Diiwaangelinta markabka ee magaca Shackleton si sax ah looma dhameystirin, waxaana muuqata in Shackleton uu si khaldan u fahmay shuruudaha uu markabka ka helay Mawson. Mawson ayaa dib u helay qalabkii iyo bakhaaradii saarnaa markabka, kuwaas oo dhamaantood u baahnaa in la beddelo. Shackleton waxa uu hoos u dhigay lacagtii uu siin jiray Mackintosh oo ahayd £2,000 ilaa £1,000, isagoo ka rajeynaya in Mackintosh uu ku daboolo farqiga u dhexeeya lacagtii uu siin jiray hadiyado lacag la'aan ah iyo in markabka uu deyn ku qaato. Ma jirin wax lacag ah oo ay ku bixiyaan mushaharka iyo kharashka nolosha ee kooxda. Shackleton hadda wuu ka baxsan yahay, isagoo saaran Endurance oo ku sii jeeda Antarctica. Taageerayaasha safarka Australia, gaar ahaan Edgeworth David oo ahaa saynisyahanka ugu sareeya safarka Nimrod, ayaa ka walwalsan xaaladda adag ee kooxda Mackintosh la geliyay. Waxay gacan ka geysteen ururinta lacagaha ku filan si ay safarka u sii wadaan, laakiin dhowr xubnood oo ka tirsan kooxda ayaa iska casilay ama ka tagay mashruuca. Qaar ka mid ah beddelka daqiiqadihii ugu dambeeyay waxay ahaayeen qorayaal ceyriin ah; Adrian Donnelly, oo ah injineer tareen oo aan khibrad bad ah lahayn, ayaa loo saxiixay injineer labaad, halka hawl wadeenka wireless Lionel Hooke uu ahaa tababar elektaroonig ah oo 18 jir ah.In kasta oo ay jiraan dhibaatooyinkaan oo dhan, Aurora waxay ka baxday Sydney 15kii Diseembar 1914, kuna sii jeeday Hobart, halkaas oo ay timid 20kii Diseembar si ay u qaadato dukaamada ugu dambeeya iyo shidaalka. Bishii Diseembar 24keedii, saddex toddobaad ka dib taariikhda asalka ah ee la doonayay in la dhoofiyo, Aurora ayaa ugu dambeyntii u dhoofiyay Antarctica, isagoo yimid Ross Island 16kii Janaayo 1915. Mackintosh wuxuu go'aansaday inuu saldhig ka dhiso xeebta Cape Evans, xarunta dhexe ee Captain Scott intii lagu jiray Safarkii Terra Nova ee 1910-13 iyo inuu helo meel aamin ah oo jiilaal ah oo u dhow Aurora.  Su'aal: Maxaa laga helay Aurora?
ma aheyn mid ku filan safarka Antarctica
