Bevan explored the coastline of British New Guinea and the descriptive map depicts his most amazing routes and discoveries. This is a fascinating account which relates in detail the authors experiences... "The Victory left Thursday Island, Torres Straits, and entered the Aird river at Cape Blackwood. At Attack Point a hostile body of sixty nude Papuans contested our entrance to the great river. These savages, after some hesitation, bore down upon us, alternately splashing the water into the air and beating time with their paddles against the sides of their canoes, also shooting volleys of arrows at us both before and after coming within range. This attack was decided in our favour, without any bloodshed, by a judicious use of the steam-whistle and a few shots fired high and wide. These harmless measures caused the natives to take as one man to the water, prior to re-embarking and paddling off crestfallen home. They were painted, decorated with feather head-dresses in addition to other ornaments, and wore white groin shells to partly conceal their nudity. They were above the middle height, of great muscular development, and of a dark bronze colour..."

72 pages containing a 5 page article on Sir Francis Drake. Merchant, pirate and hero of the Armada, Sir Francis Drake was no mere man of his time. As Sam Willis argues, Drake defined the era It is one of the great storeys of British history and, sadly, one that sensible historians routinely disparage: that, as his nation faced existential peril at the hands of its mortal enemy, Sir Francis Drake (c.1540-1596) chose first to finish the game he was playing. The tale is well known, but bears retelling.
