The most reliable sources state that the ship was abandoned on the evening of October 27th 1915 and that it sunk on November 21st 1915.
Not very impressed with your searching ability Mickey, first page that comes up if you type Shackleton into google is http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/shackleton/ if you click the expedition timeline it takes you to http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/shackleton/1914/timel

which shows that as drochit says Shackleton gave the order to abandon the Endurance at 5pm on October 27th and that they watched the boat sink on 21st November 1915 along with a wealth of other information.
