Drama at sea during…

1 p. carbon copy of war time communication, with penciled corrections and annotations, which begins…

Received orders by radio from Commodore to …change course by wheeling without further orders.… On March 18, at 2315, as we were following in the wake of #102, steering at 009° - 56 revolutions, sighted a stern light on the starboard bow which appeared to be steering the new course of 086° and assumed it to be our column leader #101. We gradually changed our course to 084° and at 2330 we were already on that course. We had our side lights and stern light on full brilliancy and sounded one blast on the whistle at frequent intervals. At 2342 sighted a stern light and a green light about four points on our bow that seem to come closer and right wheel was ordered and executed. At 2343 we could make out the shape of a ship coming at us sounding two blasts on his whistle and steering approximately 140°. As a collision looked imminent, hard right wheel was ordered and executed. At 2345, as a ship was swinging rapidly to starboard, our stem struck a ship between the bow and the bridge. We immediately sounded the general alarm and ordered engine full astern. …

Final line: Sent message to the Commodore informing him about the collision.

An artifact, a single leaf, to survive the war, providing the slightest glimpse of protocols and administrative procedures. Creases show that the piece of paper was repeatedly folded till little more than the size of a pack of gum, and, for whatever reason, saved. Condition is very good.

London: Methuen & Co Ltd, 1906. Third and Cheaper Edition, published by Methuen in May 1906. No dustwrapper, wear to edges of boards, spine strip has a four-inch split to the lower left-hand side, top half-inch above the title panel is mostly gone. Top corner of f/ep has been cut out (probably had a previous owner's name on), binding split inside back cover and at half-title, folding map of Lhasa and b&w plate at p331 is loose but still present, last (blank) page also loose but still present, a tear to one of the folds of the map inside back cover. But otherwise a not too bad copy, with all the maps and plates present, of this hard-cover book. Originally published in March 1905, the book describes Tibet, including Gyatse, Lhasa and the Tsangpo Valley, which the author visited while accompanying the British Expedition to Tibet as Cultural Consultant. Please Note: this is a heavy book, packaged weight would be about 1500g, so extra postage would be required from buyers outside the UK.… Read More

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
