For real excitement how about Lieut. S.Messum's East Coast Rivers 1903 edition?

To save me reading it can you tell me what the answer to the riddle was? I love riddles me, but I can seldom do them.

In the thread on old East Coast Pilot books, I noticed someone mentioned Lt Messum's book. Wasn't the Number one spy - Dollman in Riddle of hte Sands based on Lt Messum?

The best way to get favourable reviews from YBW forum members is to devote a minimum of 5 chapters to how the protagonist selected their anchor, and at least a couple more chapters should be devoted to rode length, chain type and electric vs manual windlass. The last three chapters can deal with the plot if you’re a stickler for such things, but only if it doesn’t detract too much from the more serious business of ground tackle and its deployment.
I’m sorry but I don’t recognize ourselves in your description at all......if you had included a catenary ....well that would be a different story
