Ku dhameystir weedhan soo socota: Wax yar ka hor intaanay u dhoofin koonfurta markii labaad, Evans waxaa lagu dhawaaqay in uu is qabay haweeney reer New Zealand ah, Hilda Russell. Hilda waxay ahayd gabadhii T.G. Russell, oo ahaa qareen caan ah oo maxalli ah, iyo gabadhii adeerkeed ee G.W. Russell, oo ka mid ahaa Xildhibaanada Baarlamaanka ee aagga Christchurch. Evans wuxuu dib ugu soo laabtay Christchurch 1dii Abriil 1904, lammaanahana waxay is guursadeen 13kii Abriil. Waxay dib ugu soo laabteen England bishii Oktoobar, halkaas oo Evans lagu abaalmariyay billaddii Polar Bronze oo dib ugu soo biiray ciidanka badda, isagoo ku takhasusay sarkaal maraakiibta ah. Sanadkii 1907 wuxuu si kooban uga fekeray inuu codsado inuu ku biiro
Shackleton safarkiisa Antarctica, laakin wuxuu go'aansaday in ay muhiim tahay in uu waqti badan ku qaato howlgalkiisa badda, si looga fogaado in uu xadeeyo mustaqbalkiisa.
