The voyages of the 'Morning'

the long version

The ‘Morning’ was the relief ship on Scott’s first expedition (1901-04) with William Colbeck as Captain, Evans as second-in-command and Doorly as third. The idea of a book about the role of the ‘Morning’ on the expedition had been suggested to Evans by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle soon after the expedition had returned and Evans had approached Doorly to assist him in the task. Various circumstances arose, however, which prevented this and Doorly only completed the book some ten years later.
