Description
‘Hand (man) wanted for long voyage in small boat. No pay, no prospects, not much pleasure.’ So read the crew notice placed in The Times by H.W. ‘Bill’ Tilman in the spring of 1959. Their destination: the tiny and remote volcanic islands of Crozet and Kerguelen in the Southern Ocean. This is account of their voyage pays tribute to the varied interests and ingenuity of Mischief s crew, not least after several months at sea when food supplies needed to be eked out.
