Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. One of 75 copies. 4to. pp. 21; fine in original printed wrappers, together with an ALS from Bruce to Miss M. Crawford, written on board P&O S.S. Oriental, Shanghai via Liberia, Oct. 24th, 1909, 4to. 2pp., written to rectos of two leaves in a clear hand, signed "Wilfrid", contained in the original envelope sent via Liberia, stamps sometime removed. Wilfrid Bruce was the brother of Kathleen Bruce, wife of Captain Robert F. Scott. Bruce accompanied Scott's expedition as a member of the ship s crew, rather than on the shore party, and later wrote a brief account of the expedition (Captain Scott 1868-1912, 1930), as well as these reminscences for a magazine, The Blue Peter (1932).This version of his reminscences is accompanied by an original Bruce letter, addressed to a Miss Crawford of Stratford-on-Avon. The letter relates to family and personal matters, including Bruce's 'search' for a wife. In this context, he writes: "You tell me I ve to come & explore Binton Hill instead of the South Pole. Why not both? Anyhow, I ve written to Captain Scott & asked him for a place in his party. Whether he'll take me or not, I don't know, but I hope he will. Then - after I've practised on icebergs for two or three years - perhaps I'll be able to reach the heart of one of these ice-cold English maidens! If I go, I shall probably be home again early next summer, as he leaves in July or August. If I don t go, it will be spring in 1911 before I get back, & shan t I just be ready for a holiday, too." Later in the letter he writes "Haven't heard any news of Scott junior yet, but we get a mail today, & perhaps I shall hear". This refers to the expected birth of Scott's son Peter on 14th September, 1909, and Bruce clearly received news before posting the letter, since he writes on the back of the envelope "Just heard news of K's expect. Hooray!". Signed by Author(s).
