Pope Dudley.
THE DEVIL HIMSELF: THE MUTINY OF 1800.
London: Alison Press/Secker & Warburg 1987. 186 pp 9 1/4" H. Maps. "The corvette 'La Vaillante' was built in Bayonne in 1796 four years after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1798 she was captured by Captain Sir Edward Pellew renamed the 'Danae' and given a new young captain Lord Proby. In March 1800 there was consternation in London when The Times reported the French recapture of the 'Danae' following a mutiny among her crew. Dudley Pope has pieced together the story of the mutiny from British documents and the French naval archives at Brest where the file is labelled 'Le Diable Lui-meme' - The Devil Himself. How did the French regain possession of their captured corvette Why did some of Lord Proby's crew risk hanging by staging a mutiny What happened to the captain after the French took him prisoner What became of the guilty men What was the role of the Americans on board the ship The whole curious story is told by an expert on the naval history of those brutal years."

Lewis Walter and Neilson Rich.
THE RIVER PALACE.
Toronto: Dundurn 2008. 248 pp large 8vo 9" H. B&w photographs reproductions drawings. "Steamboats carrying passengers from Hamilton to Montreal via the rapids of the St. Lawrence were a popular sight in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In 1855 the 'Kingston' an iron steamboat built for John Hamilton appeared on the Great Lakes. When the Prince of Wales later Edward VII toured British North America in 1860 the 'Kingston' became his floating palace for much of his time between Quebec and Toronto. While many steamboats claimed to be floating palaces the 'Kingston' truly was one. The 'Kingston' was wrecked many times and survived spectacular fires in 1872 and 1873. Late in her career she was converted into a salvage vessel and renamed the 'Cornwall'. In 1930 she was finally taken out and sunk near one of Kingston's ship graveyards. There she remained until diver Rick Neilson discovered her in 1989. Today the once-palatial 'Kingston' is a popular dive site and tourist attraction." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. Dundurn Paperback

Owen Russell.
THE ANTARCTIC OCEAN.
London: Whittlesey House / McGraw-Hill 1941. 254 pp 9 1/4" H. Map endpapers. B&w photographs maps. "The search for a land greater than the United States and Mexico began centuries ago but it was not until a little more than a hundred years ago that an American sealer Nat Palmer first glimpsed its mainland. After the fanatic fumblings of explorers like Quiros the discoverer-priest hard-headed men pushed farther and farther south to learn what lay in the land of mist and snow. Captain Cook sailed around the land without seeing it; Lieut. Charles Wilkes an American sailed along its coast for 1500 miles. Capt. James Clark Ross the famous Englishman broke into the silent sea which bears his name and for the first time brought back some knowledge of this great continent with its high barriers of ice its lofty mountain ranges and a live volcano its tremendous beauty. Since then men have been to the South Pole on foot and in airplanes have lived on ships fast in the ice and on the ice itself. Here are found the names of Scott and Shackleton of Charcot and Amundsen of Byrd and Ellsworth. This is the story of the almost incredible hardships men overcame because they were driven to rip the veil from one of the most majestic and fabulous regions of the earth."
