Commander Keble Chatterton in ‘Seamen All’ covers adventure at sea from the heyday of the sailing ships to the Great War; including Karl Spindler’s attempt to land Roger Casement and arms from the ‘Aud’ in Ireland. No one, after finishing the book, will be disposed to deny that, sail or steam, the romance of the sea abides for all time. THE KÖNIGSBERG ADVENTURE by E. KEBLE CHATTERTON: For the first time the full and complete account is given of how the cruiser Königsberg, after sinking the British S.S. City of Winchester, and then surprising and sinking H.M.S. Pegasus, hid herself for months up an apparently un-navigable river, but after thousands of miles had been searched by British men-of-war, was finally discovered and destroyed. WHALERS AND WHALING: E. Keble Chatterton describes the developement of whaling by the northern european and american peoples in an interesting book but warns that whales have always been a threatened species. THE AUXILIARY PATROL by E. Keble Chatterton: 'We knew during the war that German officers and men of the U-boat service held our Auxiliary Patrol in awe, because they frequently ran away from our improvised craft, and on occasions when these armed yachts, fishing vessels, or motor craft destroyed enemy submarines, the prisoners were only too ready to admit their feelings verbally.' - from the introduction. THE EPIC OF DUNKIRK by E. KEBLE CHATTERTON: This contemporary account written with official assistance, and with first-hand information from participants themselves, describes the amazing withdrawal from Dunkirk of the British Expeditionary Force, one of the greatest maritime feats throughout all naval history.
