Few men of the time have had a more adventurous life than Admiral Lord Mountevans,famous in naval history as "Evans of the Broke" and in Antarctic exploration as a leading member of Scott's last great expedition to the South Pole.In this vivid and intensely personal book Lord Mountevans gives a full record of his life; his early days in the Navy; the immortal story of courage and endurance of Scott's last expedition in which he played a great part; his brilliant career at sea marked by gallant exploits such as the sinking by HMS Broke under his command of six German destroyers; his experiences as
Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Navy,the Africa Station,and the Nore; and finally his invaluable work during the war as London Regional Commissioner for Civil Defence.
