Chosen from among many Boy Scout applicants, James Marr joined Sir Ernest Shackleton’s expedition aboard the Quest in 1921. He describes London’s farewell, the voyage via Lisbon, Madeira and Rio, life afloat and heavy weather, and the journey south that went on after Shackleton’s death, the book having been planned with the explorer’s help.
