To find the cache:

Mrs Chippy was a male ship's cat who accompanied Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition of the year 1914 to the year 1917. Mrs Chippy was a tiger striped tabby and was taken on board the ship used by the expedition's Weddell Sea party, Endurance, as a ship's cat by carpenter and master shipwright Harry "Chippy" McNish ("Chippy" being a colloquial British term for a carpenter). The cat acquired its name because once aboard it followed McNish around like an overly attentive wife. Ernest Henry Shackleton was an Anglo Irish Antarctic explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. He was one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Ernest Henry Shackleton was born on the date ABth February CDEF.
