The expedition was split in two parts which landed on opposite sides of the continent, each party consisting of 28 men. The SY Aurora which carried the Ross Sea party also got stuck in ice, and three of that party died there, so there were a total of 53 survivors of the entire expedition (full list at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…)

The figure of 53 men, three killed and five wounded matches that in Shackleton's own memoir of the expedition: chapter 18 of South gives a fairly extensive list. The missing third man from the Ross Sea party is Ernest Wild, who died in 1918.
