Henry McNeish Carpenter
One of the oldest members of the expedition, McNeish was a rugged Scot whom
Shackleton
claimed was "the only man I'm not dead certain of." Known as
"Chippy," he was a slightly odd, but much-respected shipwright and old-time
sailor with the Royal Naval Reserve. He reportedly never forgave
Shackleton for having his cat, "Mrs. Chippy," shot when many of the
dogs were also put down.
