    Some sentences form Shackleton's South that blend personal and objective experience are:

    The apathy which seemed to take possession of some of the men at the frustration of their hopes was soon dispelled

    (he describes here his own impressions of the apathy)

    and this one: it takes a very personal stance, giving the speaker's own impressions of the diet:

    Our meals had to consist mainly of seal and penguin; and though this was valuable as an anti-scorbutic, so much so that not a single case of scurvy occurred among the party, yet it was a badly adjusted diet, and we felt rather weak and enervated in consequence.
