Excerpt from At Sea With Joseph Conrad Dear Captain Sutherland, When you first told me of your intention to publish a little book about the cruise of the "Ready" in October-November 1916, and asked me if I had any objection, I told you that it was not in my power to raise an effective objection, but that in any case the recollection of your kindness during those days when we were shipmates in the North Sea would have prevented me from putting as much as a formal protest in your way. Having taken that attitude, and the book being now ready for publication, I am glad of this opportunity of testifying to my regard for you, for Lieutenant Osborne, R.N.R., and for the naval and civilian crews of H. M. Brigantine "Ready, " not forgetting Mr Moodie, the sailing master, whose sterling worth we all appreciated so much both as a seaman and as a shipmate.
