Hardcover. Condizione: 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 exped…ition 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. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1916. 8vo. Original blue publisher's cloth. Pages: xx, 224. 16 Photographic and illustration plates (incl. frontis). 4 musical numbers. Fold-out map at rear. Bound in original blue publisher's cloth. Lettering and margins on cover and spine blocked in white. Illustration of penguins on cover blocked and stamped in black and white. Includes a panoramic set of photographs on the rear endpapers taken by W. Williams entitled: "Discovery II" Pole Cape Crozier, March 12 1978, John Lythgoe". Very Good. Spine ends slightly weathered and bumped. Mild sunning to spine. Some markings across bindings. Binding corners turned slightly. Binding has loosened a fraction between signatures towards the middle, but remains square and generally tight. Mild age toning to end papers. Contents in excellent condition. Some mild age toning at edges. Some foxing and spotting present here and there. Some foxing to fold-out map. Heavy tape markings on rear end papers from previously adhered photographs. Provenance: From the library of Warwick H. Williams.

First edition. 8vo. pp. xx, 223; plates from photos. and sketches, folding map; minor age-toning to endpapers, browning to verso of map, else near-fine in the original cloth, penguin vignette to upper cover, lettered in white. Described by Renard as "by far the rarest of all the pri…mary accounts from the 'heroic period' of Antarctic exploration", Doorly's account escaped the attention of the bibliographer Spence. It relates the two voyages made by the S. Y. Morning, under the command of William Colbeck, to the relief of Scott's first expedition (1901-4), with E. R. G. R. Evans as second officer and Doorly as third.

Dot has signed the front free endpaper M.A. Morton. With a single sheet note paper with the crest of the Commercial Travellers Club Melbourne, being a memo t…o Mab. Morton signed by Doorly, dated 1943. Rosove 96.A2; Rosove identifies this Murray edition as a take over of the first edition after the death of Reginald Smith and states that the title leaf is a cancel. The "Memo Mab Morton" goes "Sorry to miss you and sorry I couldn't get the original edition with the coloured prints. However it's all here except the bird paintings. All the best for Xmas & New Year 1843. Gerald S. Doorly". Doorly was a junior officer on board the two voyages of the Morning, the relief ship for the Discovery expedition. As Colbeck, the ship's captain, did not write an account, Doorly's book is the main eyewitness record. It was published some 10 years later as expedition second-in-charge Evans was going to co-write the account with Doorly but was unable to find time to do so. 8vo, xx, 224pp, frontispiece and 16 plates, 1 folding map, 6 pages of music.

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). Rosove 96.A1; Taurus 142. Octavo. Frontispiece, 15 plates from sketches and photographs, 4 leaves of music scores, folding map at end. Original blue cloth, spine and front board lettered and ruled in pale yellow, yellow and black penguin vignette on front cover, lower edge uncut. Cloth rubbed and mottled, light marks, a few plates neatly reinserted, occasional finger soiling, pen marks on rear free endpaper, tear to map stub repaired with tissue paper on verso (tear not affecting printed area), internally fresh. A good copy.
