"Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean on his third voyage in charge of three vessels on a treasure-hunting expedition undertaken, ironically enough, in the name of the Most Blessed Trinity, and at Noon on July 31st, 1497, he sighted land. Three mountain peaks, merging their bases into one, gradually rose from the iris-blue sea, and these peaks symbolising 'The Holy Three,' Columbus named his discovery 'La Trinidad.' - the opening paragraph.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A very good copy of this extremely scare Antarctic narrative. This book provides an interesting and highly readable accounting of the discovery of Scott Island and the first landing on Beaufort Island, as well as the personal impressions of the Southern party of the expedition upon their return. Written with warm wit and a sharp eye for detail, the author provides descriptions of the contemporary lives and friendships between the members about the Morning. Perhaps aiding the warm tone of this book is the fact that no crew members on the Morning died a frozen death, has limbs amputated, or irretrievably falls into a crevice. This marks the narrative as unique from its peers in both tone and content. Doorly paints a vivid picture of what the sailors and officers were thinking on their voyage of discovery and how he saw them in 1904, before the world began to regard them as "heroes", tragic or otherwise.

First edition, first impression, of "one of the scarcest books of Antarctic exploration" (Rosove). Doorly served as a junior officer on Morning, the relief ship to Scott's Discovery of the National Antarctic Expedition (1901-4). He was awarded the Polar Medal for his work freeing the Discovery from her ice-bound anchorage. James Gerald Stokely Doorly (1880-1956) was born in Trinidad and educated at the Thames Nautical Training College for the mercantile marine. During the First World War, Doorly commanded New Zealand troop transports and Admiralty colliers. He moved to Melbourne in 1925, where he joined the Port Phillip Sea Pilot Service. Doorly is described as a gifted musician and singer: Edgar Evans declared that "without Doorly, the men of the Morning and Discovery would have been hard-pushed to survive the disappointments and long voyages of the Antarctic expedition" (Australian National Biography). His book, "a very interesting, pleasant, and readable firsthand account records the discovery of Scott Island and the first landing on Beaufort Island, and personal impressions of the Southern party upon their return" (ibid.). Morning also carried home an ill-tempered Shackleton after Scott sent him back to England on health grounds. Doorly's work "has taken on quite an aura for many collectors" (Taurus).

Original pale blue pictorial cloth gilt, very lightly rubbed. xx, 224pp. London, Smith, Elder & Co., A particularly good copy of this rare book, the binding of which is very often badly faded and rubbed. Doorly joined the crew of the Morning as third officer following the intervention of Edward Evans with whom he had gone to sea as a cadet on the training ship Worcester. The Morning under the command of Capt. Colbeck, carried out the successful Relief Expedition to Scott's 1902-1904 Discovery Expedition. On their return Evans was encouraged by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to publish an account of the voyage, however having asked Doorly to join him in this venture other commitments prevented him from beginning the project, leaving Doorly to publish his own work some ten years later.
