First edition; 8vo 24 x 18 cm; 8 maps of which 1 folding and 1 plan 83 plates on 42 sheets further in-text maps and illustrations review copy plate and prize book plate to front endpaper; publisher's blue cloth gilt lettering and pictorial vignette to upper board a little rubbed and marked spine faded first gathering slightly weak touch of spotting to edges a very good copy; xxi 183pp.<br /> As captain of the Aurora during Mawson's 1911-14 expedition Davis was able to produce one of the few first-hand accounts available in print. Rather like Shackleton's South the book itself is a typical poorly produced war-time volume.<br /><br />The 19111914 expedition encountered many challenges: dangerous weather uncharted coastline and problems with the ship including failing pumps in the engine room. In the Sydney Morning Herald of the 30th May 1929 Close writes of Davis's crucial role in the expedition: '.so much of its safety and success hinged upon his masterly seamanship firm decision of mind and courageous daring in handling the expedition ship Aurora'. <br /><br />Davis as Master of the Aurora made several crucial voyages establishing and relieving the wintering bases at Macquarie Island and on the Antarctic mainland at Commonwealth Bay and the Shackleton Ice Shelf. It was he who had to make the difficult decision whether to wait for blizzards and harsh seas to abate to collect Mawson's party or to relieve the second base party led by Frank Wild. He chose the latter.<br /> London, Andrew Melrose, 1919. hardcover

Davis captained the Aurora during Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition making him second in command. He had previously served as Chief Officer on the Nimrod with Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition 1907-09. "As captain of the Aurora during Mawson's 1911-14 expedition Davis was able to produce one of the few first-hand accounts available in print. His publishers however clearly had wartime difficulties with the book most often seen today with its gilt lettering and decoration badly faded" Taurus. The work provides great detail on the expedition with copious plans maps and illustrations. In 1917 after the stranding of the Endurance in Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition it was Davis in the Aurora who with Shackleton as his supernumarary rescued the Ross Sea Party. Shackleton had initially wanted Davis to captain the Endurance however Davis refused believing the expedition was "foredoomed". The Davis Sea in Eastern Antarctica is named after him. <br /> <br /> Rosove 87.A1; Spence 354; Taurus 101. Very Good. Andrew Melrose unknown
