Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Very Good dj. First Edition. [ex-library (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Script Department "File Copy"), marked as such only by a label and pocket on the front endpaper, and aside from that the book is only lightly worn and would grade Near Fine; the jacket shows some wear and some tiny nicks along the top…and bottom edges, with one tiny chip at the top of the rear panel]. Memoir by "one of England's great adventurers -- a man who made a business out of danger! Spanning two wars and the exciting years between, [the book] recreates his exploits -- using logbooks, scrapbooks, letters, and the captain's own astounding memory. At twenty-one, Orsborne was the youngest captain in the British Merchant Marine and ready for the extraordinary life that was to involve him, at one time or another, in pearl hunting, a safari to destroy a man-eating tiger, an escape through a crocodile-infested river, espionage for British Intelligence, and almost anything that looked like danger." (The "Girl Pat," by the way, was a small fishing trawler that Orsborne took on an unauthorized voyage across the Atlantic in 1936 -- an escapade for which he was tried and imprisoned, on the charge that he had stolen the boat. He claimed to have been on a secret undercover mission for British Naval Intelligence.).
