In Cruise of the Conrad he tells how he did his job; how his little frigate, after crossing the Atlantic was blown on the Brooklyn rocks in a harbour blizzard; how refloating his ship, he sailed south with his youthful crew to Rio then across to the Cape of Good Hope; how with the Joseph Conrad racing before the Roaring Forties, he reached the Far East Indies, then on to Singapore north by Australia, to New Zealand and eastwards to the South Pacific finally rounding the Horn and back to port. This is the truthful story of a great voyage, packed with adventure and the joy of a fine ship under sail. pb 416pp
