About this ebook

THE GREAT STEAMSHIP MARQUESS lies without power and drifting in the midst of a fierce North Atlantic storm. With a huge hole in her side, she lists dangerously and may sink at any moment. Captain Paul Henriques has seen his crew transferred to a passing liner, but will not abandon the vessel entrusted to his command. His only chance lies in the arrival of deep-sea tugs from Boston, five hundred miles to the west. While his vigil extends from hours to days, Henriques is assailed by memories of an extraordinary life and wonders if an ancient family emblem will work its magic once more.

Walter Bazley

WALTER BAZLEY was born in England and served in the Royal Navy during World War II. Starting as an ordinary seaman in the battleship King George V, he saw action in northern waters, the Mediterranean and the Far East before retiring in 1946 as lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. After the war he obtained his BA from the University of Toronto, then attended the Colonial Office Devonshire Course in preparation for 10 years service in Uganda. With the arrival of self-government he moved to West Australia, where he spent two years managing a five thousand acre wheat and sheep property, then to Canada where he joined the public service. He is now retired and living outside Ottawa where his time is divided between writing, his garden and other hobbies. His third book, The Sea Turtle’s Back is an account based largely on his own life and recollections to which he has added the stories of friends and shipmates.
