<P> The Quest, a 111 - foot (34 m) two - masted sealing ship sourced from Norway, set sail on 18 September 1921 . Problems soon arose; the ship did not sail well and it leaked . There were also problems with the engine . A week was spent in Portugal undergoing repairs, and after crossing the Atlantic, the Quest spent a month in the docks of Rio de Janeiro . While in Brazil, Shackleton, whose health had been poor for some time, suffered a heart attack . After he declined treatment for his condition, the expedition left for South Georgia on 18 December . The island was sighted on 4 January 1922 and both Worsley and Shackleton were "like a pair of excitable kids", pointing out landmarks from their walk across South Georgia back in 1916 . The following day, Shackleton suffered a fatal heart attack . Worsley described the loss of his friend as "...a terribly sad blow . I have lost a dear pal, one of the whitest men, in spite of his faults, that ever lived ." </P> <P> Despite this setback, the expedition continued with Wild in command while Hussey returned to England with Shackleton's body . On 22 January, Worsley suffered a serious accident . Under sail, the Quest had been rolling heavily and ropes securing a lifeboat snapped . The lifeboat, full of stores, swung against the wheelhouse and crushed Worsley against the bridge . He broke several ribs and had to rest for several days . By the end of March, after being briefly trapped in ice in the Weddell Sea, the ship reached Elephant Island . The expedition then returned to South Georgia, where Hussey was waiting . Shackleton's widow had directed that he be buried on South Georgia and Hussey had returned to the island in late February to fulfil her request . </P> <P> Worsley and the rest of the expedition spent several weeks on South Georgia, and he assisted in the building of a memorial cairn to Shackleton in King Edward Cove . The expedition then sailed for Tristan da Cunha, where Worsley carried out some mapping work . Other stops were made at Cape Town, Ascension Island and Saint Helena before the expedition arrived back in England in September 1922 . </P> <P> The Atlantic shipping trade occupied Worsley after his return to England . He was master of the George Cochran for a time in 1923, shipping rum to Montreal . The following year he was in command of the Kathleen Annie when it was wrecked in the Orkney Islands . He ensured the evacuation of his crew before leaving the stricken ship for the safety of the shore . </P>
