Pook's Eastern Promise: Three Years Behind the Mast
关于此电子书
But that ruthless disciplinarian, Commander Bray, brings the war against Japan to their notice, and they experience the terrors of night convoy sailing. Here Pook becomes the first Navigating Officer ever to witness the sun rising in the west without another ship of the convoy in sight.
Pook and Honners are selected to lead the landing party on the Ramsami beach-head, where they come under fire from the Japanese and their own Task Force. How they escape the Japanese by working in a Ramsami house of ill-fame is a hilarious climax to another extremely funny Pook book.
