The Voyages of the Morning. Doorly, Gerald S. Antarctic,Exploration,Polar

First edition. 8vo. pp. xx, 223; plates from photos. and sketches, folding map; minor age-toning to endpapers, browning to verso of map, else near-fine in the original cloth, penguin vignette to upper cover, lettered in white. Described by Renard as "by far the rarest of all the primary accounts from the 'heroic period' of Antarctic exploration", Doorly's account escaped the attention of the bibliographer Spence. It relates the two voyages made by the S. Y. Morning, under the command of William Colbeck, to the relief of Scott's first expedition (1901-4), with E. R. G. R. Evans as second officer and Doorly as third.
