Written by Maxie Lane.
Stock no. 1827781
Published by Macmillan London Limited. 1st 1978. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

Sequel to 'Running!' which told of its author's whirlwind childhood and adolescence. This biography drops him in 1940, at the age of 24, on his first ship and newest adventure.

A string of memorable merchant ships showed Maxie the wartime world, and he shared the twilit world of the boiler-rooms with men who were many times larger than life. Blue cloth boards, yellow title to spine. ISBN: 0333236513. A nice, clean copy. Dustwrapper is lightly scuffed to rear panel.
