A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story TheEndurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never been published before.

    For 30 years, Eddie Rankin has been driving his truck before dawn each Saturday, coming to create a treasured weekly routine for people who populated Woodley Park and who became his devotees.

    The tradition ended Saturday, when Rankin unloaded his last truck filled with fresh fruit and vegetables.

    “People will probably keep coming, but it won't be the same,” said Kate Shawcross, one of Rankin's first customers. “He knows your children's names and where they go to school—he's just the classic good neighbor, and here in Washington, we need some of that. ”

    Rankin was a farmers market pioneer, who got into farming by accident, said Bernadine Prince, executive director of FreshFarm Markets. Rankin is the co-owner of Twin Springs Fruit Farm and has witnessed the explosion of American interest in fresh produce and locally grown food.

    “He's just one of those people who are interested in you as an individual and your tastes,” said Bernadine Prince. “Think about when you go to the supermarket: Who do you talk to?  Nobody. ”

    In 1984, a “farmers market” consisted of some peaches, apples and cherries that the typical American might have considered as overpriced. But Rankin drew customers charmed by his huge smile and agricultural knowledge. He remembered to set aside things you asked for, would cash your check if you needed bills and gave your 10-year-old child his or her first job.

    The people who came to Saturday's market sang to Rankin, presented him with poems about his influence on their lives and told stories of good deeds he had done for them.

    Many described coming to Rankin's market as a routine in their lives.

    Rankin said he is retiring because he wants to spend more time traveling to see his children and a sister back in Ireland. The children of one of Rankin's partners are taking over Twin Springs.

    He has a “fantasy,” he said, of using his knowledge to help fruit-growers elsewhere in the world.

    He has faith that others can keep the Woodley Park market going, that the role of a farmers market is now established.

    My parents run the restaurant in our city.  I help out there after school every time when I am free.  Yesterday afternoon I went there help out as usual.  While I was there, two foreigners from Australia came to have a meal.  Learned that they didn't speak Chinese at all, I went up and greeted them with English.  I recommended some typical dish to them and they had a nicely meal.  After the meal, they expressed their satisfaction with the food but praised me for my English.  It was the first time that I have communicated with foreigners.  My parents felt proud of mine.
