His book says how he contemplated different storage methods and
isinglass was one treatment he tried. But he spread his chances -
mainly due to lack of time before he set off and he left a good
proportion of his eggs untreated. The best results were from storage
in the bilge at around 5 deg C with no other treatment. If I recall
correctly the eggs were still edible at 9 months but he said most
people would have declared a slightly earlier cutoff point.

When I were a lad we'd no fridge and my mother would store eggs bought in
bulk at a good price in a new dustbin in the cupboard under the stairs
which was always cool - no central heating either. And they'd last for
months. Maybe not 'fresh' but not 'off'.
