> Hi
>
> I have two paperback copies of Frank Worsley's _Shackleton's Boat
> Journey_. The blurb on the back says
>
> "F. A. Worsley was the skipper of the _Endurance_, the ship used by
> Sir Ernest Shackleton in his 1914 - 1916 expedition to Antarctica, and
> this is his account of that perilous triop. The _Endurance_ was
> crushed by ice, and the ship's party of twenty eight drifted on an ice
> floe for five months, finally reaching an uninhabited island. From
> there Shackleton, Worsley, and four others sailed in a small boat to
> south Georgia, an island eight hundred miles away, to find rescue."
>
> This is considered to be one of the greatest small boat voyages of
> all time, and I believe rightfully so. Both copies are for sale for
> $8, which includes postage. They will go to the first two people to
> let me know that they want a copy.
